All time favorite Disney’s animation, The Lion King is now back in theaters after 17 years. The Lion King, first released in 1994, hit the Box Office again in Dec. 29, 2011. With 3D movies emerging as a trend, particularly after the huge success of Avatar, Walt Disney also participated in this newest trend by remaking The Lion King in 3D. With the same characters and storylines, the only important difference between the one made in 1994 and that of 2011 is that the latter is re-made in 3D. Now, audiences can enjoy the moving story of Simba establishing his identity with vividness and vigorousness. In this article, we are going to go through some useful expressions and vocabularies from The Lion King 3D.
