The Lion King Goes 3D
Tue, June 22, 2010 
Producer Don Hahn who worked on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beauty And The Beast and The Lion King, among many others. Recently spoke to Empire and confirmed that The Lion King will be converted to and re-released in theaters in 3D. He also added not to expect it any time soon.
“I’m actually trying to work out a 3D conversion of The Lion King. I’ll be doing that when I go back to the States in a couple of weeks,”
By the sounds of things they'll be re-animating the entire movie as well to accommodate the 3D technology. The Lion King for a lot of people is considered to be a Disney classic. I don't think having it re-animated and re-released in 3D will add anything more to the film. This sounds more like another way for Disney to milk 3D for all its worth while people are still willing to pay 16 dollars for a movie.
