Why I’m Way More Excited About A Live Action Lion King Sequel Than The First One

Well, yeah, he does, but first, that doesn’t mean he’s somehow incapable or unwilling to do other things, and second, it doesn’t mean that Disney movies are incapable of handling more topical or important storylines. Will people walk out of the new Lion King and compare it to Moonlight when it comes to groundbreaking cinema? I mean, probably not, but Barry Jenkins is absolutely a filmmaker with a unique voice and one can be confident that voice will be part of this new film. I have no idea what form that will take, but the idea is exciting.
