Grab the tissues! Disney has released a brand new trailer for their upcoming live-action remake of the classic animated film The Lion King. Directed by Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book, Iron Man), this story will follow Simba, the son of a King and heir to the throne, who takes his own royal destiny to heart. But after learning that his Uncle, Scar, has his own plans for their homeland, Simba is exiled after betrayal and tragedy, where he must now figure out how to grow up on his own and take back what is rightfully his with a pair of curious newfound friends.

What can I really say? This is incredible, absolutely incredible. The first trailer for the film, which was a huge tease, was a beautiful look into the beginning of this film. It was hyping us up for this exact moment and it did not miss. It’s unbelievably gorgeous in so many ways, and I’m not surprised. Favreau is a genius at this craft, the best in the field. His ability to not just bring this film to life, but these iconic characters is a feat that very, very few can accomplish. I’ve already watched it a handful of times and will more than likely add more to that throughout the day. Wow.

Starring an all-star cast that includes Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, Florence Kasumba, Eric André, Keegan-Michael Key, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Favreau’s The Lion King will arrive in theaters on July 19th.
