Honestly, they need to add some kind of "and the entire cast and crew of The Lion King, 1994" in the credits to be fair to everyone. It's not just the old writers who deserve credit for giving ideas that would eventually become the original movie, and then now, the ideas for the remake.
After all, if Elton John, whose role was simply to compose a couple of pre-written songs and sing them, strong armed the entire production into keeping what then turned into the most popular song in the movie, what other small things came from an unlikely source?
Credit the entire team and be done with it, me thinks. Knowing Hollywood, people can get very antsy over perceived unequal credits treatment. "Hey, how come he gets credits and I don't!"
