Normal West junior and Disney fanatic, Abigail Rosenberger said, “I’m looking most forward to “Lion King” to see how they decide to change the original, iconic movie into a live action movie with all the CGI.”

For those who love the standard Disney animation, don’t worry, Disney also prepares for the release of “Toy Story 4” and “Frozen 2”.

“I’m excited for ‘Toy Story 4’ but nothing will ever be as good as the first one,” said Delsasso.

“Toy Story 4” is said to be released on June 21, 2019 with a new focus point being on a newly developed character, Forky.
