'Be prepared' to 'feel the love' after you watch the trailer for one of the year's most highly anticipated movies.
Last month Disney had us dreaming of a 'whole new world' when they dropped the trailer for Aladdin and now they've done it again by releasing an amazing first trailer for the live action re-make of The Lion King.
The 1994 animated version won Oscars and is widely regarded to be one of Disney's finest moments, so the pressure is on for the new version to seriously deliver the goods.
When you think about the original, there is one scene that never fails to command your attention and have you absolutely balling - the stampede.
In the trailer for the new Lion King we get a first glimpse of that and it looks even more impressive this time round!
If you aren't familiar with the plot of The Lion King (where have you been?!) here's a brief synopsis...
Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny.
But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own.
The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile.
With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
The all-star cast of the film, which comes out in July, includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Billy Eichner as Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa.
