I hadn’t seen a trailer prior to release, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the original’s trailer back in 1994, a rare A+ affair.

The Lion King 3D

	Plot Summary: The 1994 box office juggernaut and Disney’s highest grossing (not adjusted for inflation) hand-drawn animated film gets the 3D conversion. Release Date: September 16, 2011
	Poster	Trailer
	Rating: B- Commentary: They are images we’ve all come to know from the film, so it’s not hard to see this working well, but it’s still lacking real inspiration.	Rating: C Commentary: You compare anything to the brilliant trailer for the film back in the mid-1990’s and you’re bound to come away disappointed. All the usual claptrap celebrating its place in history and its beloved status feels hollow sentiment when the film is being used so blatantly as a cash cow.
