Disney just released the first teaser trailer for the live action Lion King

Walt Disney Studios just released Disney’s live-action remake of the beloved classic The Lion King and people everywhere are OBSESSED.

Set to come out in the summers of 2019, the film boasts a magnificent cast which includes Beyonce (Nala), Seth Rogan (Pumbaa) and even Donald Glover (Simba).

The trailer opens to the familiar moment where Rafiki presents a young Simba to the animals of the Pride Lands.

TALK ABOUT ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS

 

Old school fans were especially pleased to find out that the trailer was narrated by the sound-actor who plays King Mufasa in the original movies; James Earl Jones.

I’m just so happy to hear James Earl Jones’s voice. https://t.co/BPuZizYNeF

This is truly exciting times for Hollywood, with the successful screening of live action Jungle Book and now this coming up. The next year’s July is sure to be an emotional rollercoaster.

I am excited about the Lion King as much as I am anxious about watching Mufasa die again
