I'm 30 and even I prefer the live action over the childish animation (only applies to Lion King though, every other Live Action so far has been nothing but bad: Arielle, Beaty and the Beast).
… you monster.
On three grounds:
(1) The animation in Lion King ‘94 is generally outstanding.
(2) The art style in Lion King ‘94 is generally good, but might not be to taste.
(3) The ‘Live Action’ Lion King 2019 is also animated.
Granted, the animation in the 2019 version is technically / visually amazing… =]
