Neuman: Well, we had the privilege of having the original filmmakers to work with, so the first thing we did was have a spotting session with the directors Rob Minkoff and Roger Allers and the producer Don Hahn.

'The Lion King' was originally released in 1994.įxg: Central to the conversion of The Lion King was the ‘depth score’ you made, kind of like a color script or music score that matched the emotions and beats of the story.

The project involved unarchiving the original Disney CAPS files, and the creation of an entire depth score for the film. Disney stereographer Robert Neuman discusses his work for the 3D conversion of The Lion King, recently re-released in cinemas.
