Social Media Reactions to The Lion King Teaser

Yesterday, in the midst of a Thanksgiving Day football game, Disney dropped the first teaser for the live-action Lion King movie coming out next year. Of course social media was very quick to react, many of those reactions from people who saw the original 1994 film in their formative years.

One thing we’re pretty sure of. The live-action (or whatever they call it) Lion King, based on Twitter’s reaction, is going to be boffo!
