The Lion King was first released in 1994. The most recent remake of the classic movie came out in 2019; the 25-year gap is quite far-reaching. According to Entertainment Weekly, the 2019 version of the film Disney’s highest-grossing animated movie ever in their history. Back in August of 2019 the film made
