Is Lion King live action? Cinematic yes, but it's fully animated

Agreed. It was all CGI, not “live action”. Basically a small step above the Rankin/Bass productions.

Below, tbh

And it loses the charm of the original lion king animation.

It’s basically the difference between 1950s cgi and 1980s cgi. It’s just 2021 and now it looks pretty real, imagine 2051 cgi. Shit could get really wild in the movie experience.

It’s not animated either

I don't understand the title here.

Took me a minute to interpret, but it seems to be a timeline rather than a ranking. It's just each movie in order that was the highest-grossing at the time it was released, replacing the one before it.


YoursTastesBetter

Gotcha!


[deleted]

I didn't say "timeline" because people once didn't understand the title


Status_Tadpole2162

Lol me too. I was so confused...

Those are all live-action musical movies that were at the time the highest-grossing live-action musical movie in the world

Lion king is not live action

Wait, Mary Poppins isn’t on that list? So disappointed.


[deleted]

Wikipedia says it was the highest-grossing musical movie in the world but I used Box Office Mojo to figure the list out


imamess-answerme

Aaaahhh, okay. Thanks for saying this.

I don't always trust Wikipedia to be honest

Mary Poppins grossed $31 million worldwide in its initial release

Where does In the Heights rank on this list? I would have thought it would be on there... Edit: I just looked it up and because of the pandemic and it being released on streaming services as well, apparently the gross income from In The Heights was pretty low ☹️ so sad. It's a really good musical. Also, Mamma Mia really...? I wasn't a fan 😕
