New Lion King movie next year! :D

I'm thrilled about it, I've been wanting a lion cub tv series since Kimba the White Lion and that was over long before I was born! But I have to admit I thought Kion was Mufasa at first. It's weird how he has pawprint marks but I figure they'll explain it well enough. I have some good faith in this after how Sofia the First turned out.

All my childhood dreams come true! I mean, I had the Timon & Pumbaa cartoon as a kid, but I was always more interested in the lions.

I was a little surprised that they went with Simba and Nala's cub instead of Kiara and Kovu's, but I guess kids nowadays will still be more familiar with the original than the sequel. TLK is such a classic, and they re-released it in theatres rather recently, didn't they? (As in, the past few years). But I am glad they're keeping Kiara. I always did like her.

I've also always been interested in a movie or show or something that explored Mufasa and Scar's childhood. I think that would have been neat. Well, villain backstory movies seem to be Disney's new thing.  Fingers crossed.

A back story about Mufasa and Scar would be great. I think it could make the first film much more traumatic and emotional as well, if Scars demise was shown. I hope it happens one day!
