To me, I personally feel that this idea for a remake is a definitely a marketing or "cash cow" thing that Disney wants to do because of the money they've been racking in from their recent live action remakes. Their word of "reimagining" obviously explains that everything about it is going to be completely remade. Yet, I had hoped that they wouldn't have considered doing something like this to a unique animated trilogy film franchise. Even though I did think there was a possibility of them eventually doing a live action version. But my worst nightmare on this is coming true now.
I can understand in some ways why the company made LG because they wanted to give the animated franchise a little "kick" since it had been over a decade after 1 1/2 was released. But when it comes to things like this, the real lesson to learn here is that always wanting something "new and improved" is never always the answer.
Even if the remake doesn't turn out to be really good, people out there are still going to praise it either way because let's face it, a lot of people out there nowadays really don't know what's truly good anymore.
Sure, this could be a subjective thing in which I realize. But no matter how you look at it with what disney wants to do here, it'll hurt the animated franchise in one way or another because it's something that was done in the past. And more people out there respond to something that's live action rather than animated. This is a very obvious thing now proven over history a lot of times already in the film industry.
I really hope disney might reconsider not going through with this thing in the end, and leave the film franchise as it is already known. A creatively animated one with beautiful animated and also very lovely human-like animal characters (like Timon), that doesn't need any kind of live action remake.
My fave (if he is featured on the remake in which I hope he isn't) looking weird like he does on lion guard is actually the least of my worries here because I can never imagine how he would look on a live action version. But if the remake does actually come through, it's Not going to be on my watch list. I'm going to simply ignore it.

And Im so glad im ignoring all this judgment over my 2 #1 favorite films, because I dont want the over negative thinking to ruin what is a big part of me, despite as I have said before, I dont like how Disney changed there employees when it comes to movies, and I have already said change is hard get used to it and get over it. I am proud to be a fan of anything to do with the lion king, cause of how beautiful the world even if they didn't make it perfect the second time, its better then nothing, even though the beautiful elements African music even in the second one which I find the best isn't everyone's cup of tea when it comes to there taste in music genres(to me I just dont get how they dont see the beauty in TLK2 like I do, I could teach it in one day). I have said before Im glad we are getting another different version of the lion king, because with lion king 1, 2, 1,1/2 the musical, TLG and now this remake, I get to have a more different variety of the world to embrace, no matter the differences, no matter how much people say it should be this way or it should have been better this way, no matter any kind of negative judgment I take it with a grain of salt and I make it work, why? because im jealous of Harry Potter fans and Star Wars fans especcialyl, I wished for lion king to have a continuous infinity of chronicles and stories that never end, but no Lion King was not made like it (the fan fiction was all I ever got) BUT this is the closest im ever going to get, and if lion king is my escape from reality and the paradise in my mind and for my imagination then im I'll live with it all for the rest of my life, LONG LIVE THE LION KING OLD AND NEW, because I see a deeper meaning to TLK then just it being based off Hamlet, never cared for the hamlet part I have always ignored that, I see lion king as a good lesson to life and my dream vacation...Africa. and above all I love lions and animals, put it all together and you got TLK
