Gr-r-r-reetings fans of Zootopia! Today, in honor of the opening of the new live-action Lion-King film, we present a gallery of Zootopia X Lion-King fanart. (Now you know why we switched the random and themed collections.)

Enjoy…and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source-links.

We begin with an image of Mufasa and Simba visiting the city.

Of course you can’t talk about The Lion King without mentioning Scar, one of the greatest Disney villains of all time:

Here’s a pic that imagines what might have happened if the Lion King had been set in Zootopia.

if Disney ever does decide to create a Zootopia television series, I hope that they model it on The Lion Guard; the main characters being some of the city’s younger residents, with Nick, Judy, and the other animals from the film showing up in the occasional cameo.

Why these two together?
Well, who was the voice of Banzai in The Lion King, and who was the voice of Yax in Zootopia?

R-i-i-ight!
