The Lion King remake

    To those who didn't know, they're making a live action remake to the 1994 classic. Well I say live action but it's literally all going to be CGI. TLK was one of my favourite films growing up and remains among the top on my favourite films of all time. That being said... I'm worried. Very worried. I was worried about Batman v Superman 2 years before it came out and my worries were largely proven right, perhaps even not enough. I'm even more worried about this. Spoilers for cast list and thoughts on same just in case anyone doesn't want to know.

    Cast List:
    Donald Glover as Simba
    J.D. McCrary as young Simba
    Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala
    Shahadi Wright Joseph as young Nala
    James Earl Jones as Mufasa
    Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar
    Alfre Woodard as Sarabi
    John Oliver as Zazu
    John Kani as Rafiki
    Seth Rogen as Pumbaa
    Billy Eichner as Timon
    Eric Andre as Azizi
    Florence Kasumba as Shenzi
    Keegan-Michael Key as Kamari

    You may notice (those of you fans of the original anyway) something odd near the bottom... or 2 things odd to be exact. "Azizi" and "Kamari". Both of these are hyenas. Now... are these simply name changes for Ed and Banzai or brand new hyenas, replacing Ed and Banzai? I don't know. Either way I'm very worried, and I'm not settled with Beyonce voicing Nala. Just don't know if her voice is soft enough..... I will keep an open mind as I did for BvS, but my gut proved right for that and it's more concerned for this..... It's nice seeing James Earl Jones reprise his role, his voice is iconic. When I heard Rogen was voicing Pumbaa, I immediately thought that that was a good decision.

    Thoughts?
