ELTON CALLS DISNEY’S 2019 ‘LION KING’ REMAKE A “HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT”
NME reports Sir Elton John is not a fan of the 2019 remake of the Lion King. The Disney reboot was a “huge 
disappointment” for Elton who composed and performed songs in the original 1994 animated film. Elton did return to the studio to help adapt classics like ‘Circle Of Life’ and ‘Hakuna Matata’ for the new soundtrack but he believes the live-action adaptation “messed the music up.” Elton cited the new soundtrack’s lack of commercial impact: “The soundtrack hasn’t had nearly the same impact on the charts that it had 25 years ago when it was the best-selling album of the year. The new soundtrack fell out of the charts so quickly, despite the massive box-office success.”
