  It is not a live action film in any sense of the phrase. Nothing you see was shot with a camera. The entire film is animated. It is 100% an animated film.

  @only_pro According to a special I saw on TV, strictly speaking it's not 100% animated, because they included a single unnamed shot which was actually filmed with a camera. The point still stands though.

The simple answer is no, it's not motion captured. But there is even confusion about it being considered live-action or animated for award nominations.

From vanityfair:

Disney’s upcoming Lion King adaptation has reached a slight hurdle. The film, a remake of the 1994 animated classic, is not exactly a “live-action” movie because all of its animals are computer-generated, though plenty of people and media outlets have called it that. But director Jon Favreau also argues that it isn’t technically right to label the film “animated“ either

“Well, it’s difficult because it’s neither, really,” he told SlashFilm. “It depends what standard you’re using. Because there’s no real animals and there’s no real cameras and there’s not even any performance that’s being captured that’s underlying data that’s real. Everything is coming through the hands of artists.”

For additional trivial information, there was one scene in the film which was not made on computers as per Favreau's tweet:

  I understand by what criteria Jon Favreau could conclude that it isn't "live-action", it has no action by a living creature. But by what criteria is he also concluding that neither is it animated? If "everything is coming through the hands of artists", that's pretty much the definition of "animated" isn't it?

  @RBarryYoung I think he may be being pretentious when he says it's not right to call it animated -- he's suggesting that what they did is so much more realistic than anything else that it shouldn't be in the same category. But I think you could have said something similar about the original Toy Story at the time.

  @JPhi1618 The word for that is "lifelike". But the process is animation. Very sophisticated animation, but still animation. And Toy Story was extremely sophisticated for its time, as was Roger Rabbit in its time.

  The point is that there's a difference between the process and the effect. It looks like live action, but it was created using animation. But maybe Favreau was treating the word "animated" not as referring to the process, but as a common synonym for "cartoony".

  I think the confusion is animated=cartoon, which is not the case. If animation is totally realistic, i.e. indistinguishable from reality to an audience, then it is definitely not a cartoon, and nor is it live action. CG or CGI would describe it well.

In an interview with Collider, Jon Favreau said:

...we don’t do motion capture for performance, because we don’t want
to do it. We don’t want to put markers on animals, we don’t want to
involve live action, live animals in this. In Jungle Book, we didn’t
have to. I think that’s a nice next step for movies, is to leave the
animals alone.

and

What we’ll do for performance is I’ll have the actors in this room, we
clear it out, it’s a soundproof room. We have microphones, and instead
of recording with music stands and a sound booth like we do in
animated movies, I’ll instead have them performing standing up, almost
like you would in a motion capture stage, except no tracking markers,
no data, no metadata’s being recorded. It’s only long-lens video
cameras to get their faces and performances, and that allows the mall
to overlap and perform together and improvise and do whatever we want.
