We can almost see it - Lion King: Pridelands, starring Chris Pratt as Simba
Our inner child is squealing with joy - Disney has announced an upcoming remake of the classic 1994 animation, Lion King.
Vaguely described as a "reimagining" of the original, the new movie will be directed by Jon Favreau, who previously did the live-action remake of The Jungle Book. For this reason, we're inclined to believe that Lion King is getting a live-action reboot too.
So we've taken liberties and gathered our dream cast for the movie (we'll call it Lion King: Pridelands). Here's the who's who.

Rafiki: Morgan Freeman
Another voice of reason in the madness of the Pridelands, Rafiki serves as a point of stability for Simba, and so deserves an actor of the highest order. Who better than the Hollywood God himself?
