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.

The hyenas: Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman & Charlie Day
We know the three hyenas each have different names and personalities. Banzai (left) is the hot-headed but humorous one, so we pick Bateman for him. Ed (right) is the silly klutz who always messes things up, making Day a good fit for him.
Shenzi (middle) is originally a female, but this trio from Horrible Bosses is too good to pass up, so Sudeikis shall take her spot. Besides, this is all hypothetical!
