I'm part of the production team.
The movie is overall faithful to the original. The main difference is that there is a message of equality about the lions and hyenas. The lions rule over the hyenas as part of the “circle of life” and are kinda’ dickish about it until Simba changes their ways.
Scar is a tragic villain. He is indirectly responsible for the death of his and Mufasa’s father in a stampede when they were cubs, and Mufasa and Pride Rock resent him for it. Scar plans to earn their respect by luring Simba into the stampede in order to save him, but Mufasa intervenes and saves Simba himself. When Mufasa finds out Scar purposefully endangered Simba’s life, he announces he’ll exile Scar. In a fit of rage, Scar attacks Mufasa and accidentally pushes him over the edge into the stampede, and doesn’t save him when Mufasa calls out for it.
Simba thinks it’s his fault that Mufasa died. Fearful that Simba might expose him, Scar terrorizes him into running away. Scar is then crowned king. He is reluctant at first, but slowly goes mad with power and subjects Pride Rock to a tyrannical rule. “Be Prepared” is replaced by a new song called “Heavy is the Crown”.
Nala has a larger role. She sets out to find Simba once it is discovered that he is alive, and is chased by the hyenas, but manages to outsmart them. Once she finds Simba, they realize their feelings for each other, but part ways when Simba refuses to come back to Pride Rock.
No.975885
Simba later changes his mind and, while looking for Nala, they’re attacked by human poachers and nearly killed. This is what makes Simba realize lions are to other species what hyenas are to them, and that they should treat the hyenas better. It's also an excuse to call this movie "live-action".
Scar’s death is also different. He is abandoned by the hyenas whom he terrorizes once Simba offers them equality, and attacks Simba, leading to a fight near another stampede. Scar ends up in the same position as Mufasa once was, and Simba resolves to save him, but Scar refuses to help and ends up falling to his death.
Timon and Pumbaa are pretty much the same, but instead of being exiled for awful flatulence, Pumbaa gets kicked out because he’s clumsy and prone to destruction.
Overall the songs are: “The Circle of Life”, “I Can’t Wait to be King”, “Hakuna Matata”, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, “Heavy is the Crown” (replacing “Be Prepared”), “Secret in the Stars” (new Nala song – I mean, it’s Beyoncé) and a new final credits song titled, wait for it, “The Lion King”.

This is the only part I find extremely false. They're not gonna replace one of the most iconic songs from the movie. (Granted every song is iconic, but still). The only songs cut out of Jungle Book were uniconic ones, the big ones made it.

Rice said that “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?,” “Hakuna Matata,” “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King,” and “Circle of Life” will be included and that he’s looking forward to working with collaborator Elton John and Beyonce on a new song for the end credits.
