As the lights came down at the beginning of the press junket for Disney’s “The Lion King” on July 10 at Montage Beverly Hills, the opening strains of the film’s signature song, “Circle of Life,” echoed through the Marquesa ballroom.
I only enjoyed watching “The Lion King” (2019) because I haven’t watched the 1994 film since I was probably at most 9 or 10 years old, and even still, I would have preferred to rewatch the original.
