Today Walt Disney Studios released the first Full-Length Official Trailer for the Live-Action version of The Lion King. Watching this gave me goosebumps and it looks like it’s going to be everything we’ve hoped for in the highly anticipated remake.
The Lion King is being directed by Jon Favreau (who has been quite busy for Disney lately) and stars the voices of: Donald Glover, Beyoncé, James Earl Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, John Kani, John Oliver, and Alfre Woodard. Also the original score is being done by Hans Zimmer.
I’m not usually too keen on remaking the Disney classics I grew up with, but in only the 1 min 30 seconds that it lasts, you already have a sense that this is going to be really special! Just hearing James Earl Jones reprise the role of Mufasa makes your hair stand on end…

Disney also released the new Live-Action Lion King Poster too, showing young Simba. Isn’t he the cutest thing you’ve ever seen???
The Live-Action version of The Lion King is set to hit theaters on July 19, 2019.
We can’t wait for The Lion King like most of the films on our complete list of Every Disney Movie coming in 2019.

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
