However, despite the efforts of the animation team, it appears as if Disney did not consider The Lion King to be an animated film. According to a tweet by The Playlist's Editor-At-Large Gregory Ellwood, Disney apparently did not submit The Lion King as an animated film when applying for Golden Globe award consideration. Instead, the decision to put the heavily CGI-reliant film into the animation category was made by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the non-profit organization consisting of entertainment photographers and journalists who put on the annual Golden Globe awards. This news mirrors previous reports which saw Disney not submitting The Lion King for Best Animated Feature consideration during the announcements of this year's Oscar nominees. Whether or not Disney's reticence to either call 2019's version of The Lion King an animated film or submit it for the usual awards circuits stems from the fact that it's simply a retelling of the exact same story, or based on the idea they consider it to be live-action and not animated, remains to be seen.
