Poll: Lion Kings, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!
With the new cgi animated version of Disney’s classic The Lion King (1994), The Lion King (2019), due in theaters soon with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa, how about a poll about your favorite lion or other felines from the movies? And yes I’m going to include the evil ones too. (Why not? Some of the baddies are great characters.) And I will list all The Lion King lion characters from the original film and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) and using the images available at the time this poll was created and the older films. Which one is your favorite?
Enjoy this side by side of comparison of the teaser trailers https://www.imdb.com/list/ls025720609/videoplayer/vi1154529817?ref_=tt_ecw_tlk_i_1 and then head to your favorite scratching post here to sink your claws into the topic. Ouch!
