- Lion King (2019) is A Live Action Movie, Disney Proves It. But Thank You For Your Reccomdation About Giving People More Than 10 Minutes To Respond. 2600:8800:7306:DE00:61AD:7DC5:728:3D4 (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- The Lion King remake was made as part of the wave of Disney's live-action remakes, but in this case it is not live-action i.e. it was not filmed. It is photo-realistic animation. It is not live-action in the same way a photo-realistic painting is not a photo. Wikipedia's job is to record facts. Betty Logan (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
@FrozenCompromises: Disruptive edits such as this need to stop. The Lion King remake is not motion capture, or computer manipulated live footage, its is photorealistic animation. It is logged as such on Box Office Mojo's animation chart (which is the main source for the list) and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it was eligible for the animation category at the Oscars for that year. That is in addition to the substantial coverage of its animated credentials at The Lion King (2019 film). How Disney chose to market the film is their business, but Wikipedia's business is to document facts. If you continue with this disruptive course of action I will seek administrative protection for the article. Betty Logan (talk) 09:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Remove Lion King Live Action Remake
[edit]It says "Animated" movies, not live action & Animated movies 173.238.231.70 (talk) 22:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- please see the discussion above. In a nutshell The Lion King remake is actually an animated film, it just uses photo-realistic animation -Gouleg🛋️ harass/hound (she/her) 23:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

- Every entertainment outlet and Disney themselves are calling Inside Out 2 the highest-grossing animated film and Frozen II the previous record holder. They do not consider the 2019 Lion King as an animated film, more so an abomination. 2607:FEA8:E366:A700:592D:B6E5:4912:CD6B (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- They're lied. All mainstream media outlets only take the clue from Disney's approach, which did not considered "The Lion King" as a animated film even no live-action human cast at all. We must more critical regarding the information from mainstream press. We already have nutshell to emphasize the actual fact. 103.111.100.82 (talk) 00:19, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Adjusted for Inflation Category
[edit]A while ago, I questioned why we didn't have this category and was told it'd be impossible for early Disney films. However, the list of highest grossing traditionally-animated films has tons of those films. Does that mean it's possible now? I've seen inflation calculators online. Are they not accurate enough? NintendoLover2005 (talk) 02:59, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- Knowing the totals is no good, you need to know the gross for each release. Most of the Disney films had many re-releases, so you can't simply adjust Snow White's gross from 1937, for example. Betty Logan (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
Lion King (2019) Re-release Inclusion
[edit]The List of highest-grossing films page has it at 1.656 billion. I'm assuming it's because this list counts the 2020-2021 rerelease totals from Box Office Mojo, my question is, does that mean we should count the re-release for the highest-grossing list too or do we follow their example put it back to original release box office only?
