Set to beat the Original The Lion King worldwide
The Lion King was released in 1994, more than three decades ago. With two Academy Awards, the Disney film is considered among the greatest animated films ever made. It is one of the top-grossing traditionally animated movies at the worldwide box office, earning over $979.1 million [via Box Office Mojo] during its lifetime. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is on track to beat The Lion King before entering the $1 billion milestone worldwide. Surpassing The OG The Lion King is significant because it marks a major generational shift in entertainment power – from classic Disney animation to modern gaming franchises.
