What side are you on about the new Lion King Movie about it technically not being Live Action, due to everything being CGI?
Picking sides is dumb. I think this is the first time all the characters from a Disney remake are animated, even Jungle Book had a live-actor for Mowgli, so we can't call it "a live-action adaptation" (unlike the theatre version). I don't know if they used some real enviroments or they are just photorealistic.
I am unaware of how close it will be to the original, but previous Disney remakes at least TRIED to show something different in their teasers. Belle Watson's teasers were just shots from the empty castle and Dumbo shows big-name actors for characters that weren't in the original, or at least secondaries.
The Lion King teaser looks like a demo reel. More like "look how or visual effects look now" to show investors than a real film. They just recreated some iconic shots with CGI, without showing characters like Scar, Timon or Pumba. So there is no point of calling it a "trailer" when it's actually a glorified teaser.
