The Jungle Book placed fifth in the top ten highest-grossing films of 2016, sandwiched between Deadpool and The Secret Lives of Pets, whereas Beauty and the Beast was the second highest-grossing movie of last year, inevitably losing the top spot to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. … Continue reading ‘The Lion King’: Live-Action Remake Will Only Use Four Songs from the Original’s Soundtrack!!!
