This is the only real shot in #TheLionKing. There are 1490 rendered shots created by animators and CG artists. I slipped in one single shot that we actually photographed in Africa to see if anyone would notice. It is the first shot of the movie that begins The Circle of Life.

While the film is a live-action animated venture, Filmmaker Jon Favreau has shared a snapshot of the only "real" scene in his film. It is the first scene of the film, depicting a sunrise photographed in Africa. "This is the only real shot in 'The Lion King'. There are 1,490 rendered shots created by animators and CG artists. I slipped in a single shot that we actually photographed in Africa to see if anyone would notice," Favreau captioned the image, adding: "It is the first shot of the movie that begins (the song) 'The circle of life'." Favreau took to his social media accounts to share the photograph of the rising sun. The image is considered iconic and found space in the 1994 animation version of "The Lion King", too.
