Lions rule the African savanna in The Lion King, which welcomes Donald Glover (Atlanta, Solo: A Star Wars Story) as future king Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Dreamgirls, Lemonade visual album) as Simba’s friend-turned-love interest Nala, and James Earl Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Field of Dreams) as Simba’s wise and loving father, Mufasa, reprising his iconic performance from Disney’s 1994 animated classic. Chiwetel Ejiofor (Twelve Years a Slave, Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange) was called on to portray Simba’s villainous uncle Scar, and Alfre Woodard (Juanita, Marvel’s Luke Cage) portrays Simba’s no-nonsense mother, Sarabi. JD McCrary (OWN’s Tyler Perry’s The Paynes, Apple’s Vital Signs) fills the shoes of Young Simba, a confident cub who can’t wait to be king, and Shahadi Wright Joseph (NBC’s Hairspray Live, Broadway’s The Lion King) brings tough cub Young Nala to life.

Every kingdom comes with a trustworthy advisor or two. John Kani (Coriolanus, Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War) was cast as the wise baboon Rafiki, and John Oliver (HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) was tapped as hornbill Zazu, Mufasa’s loyal confidant. When Simba goes into exile, he relies on two newfound friends—Seth Rogen (Sausage Party, Neighbors) lends his comedic chops to naïve warthog Pumbaa, and Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street, FX’s American Horror Story) joins the cast as know-it-all meerkat Timon.

From Disney Live Action, director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. 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 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. Utilizing pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way, “The Lion King” roars into cinemas Summer 2019.

Which is your favourite Lion King movie? 😃🦁

[Margod]

"For the death of the king"
"Why, is he sick?"
That hyena line always gets me

[StumbleDStephen]

"Some spoilers ahead."
I honestly doubt it.

[katievictoria]

I‘m annoyed they cut my favourite scene! When Rafiki talks to Simba about the past...

such a beautiful scene :-(

[gugugaga]

Simba to Scar: When I become king what will that make you
Scar: A monkey's Uncle
Simba: You are so weird
Scar: you have no idea

The new scar was not as verbally ruthless

[maverick]

My problem, they changed the lines for Mufasa's return in the sky: Simba, you have forgotten me... You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba? You are more than what you have become.

[shubhdashukla]

Am I the only one who misses Ed laughing like a megalomaniac

[cognitivescience]

Scar’s was sorely missing, such a good delivery.

[Kleavers]

The lack of facial expressions/emotion really hurt the movie unfortunately. But graphically it is a masterpiece.

[magda]

"Scar! BROTHER! Help me!"
This is just one word, but it makes a big difference.

One scene I was very disappointed not to see in the remake was after Simba talked to his father in the clouds and is left to face the conflict of the 2 ways of life he has been taught.
Simba: *gets hit with stick* Oww What was that for?
R: It doesn't matter it's in the past.
Simba: But it still hurts
R: Ah yes, the past can hurt... But how I see it you can either run from it *swings stick at Simba*
Simba: *douches stick*
R:Or learn from it
It's a part that I honestly loved in the original with a short yet impactful message that helps Simba understand that living in the past, as fun or carefree as it may be, learning from the past in order to better your future is something that is sometimes for the better, even if it does hurt.

Are we just ignoring how ADORABLE baby pumba was I mean SO CUTE

[elizabethmiller]

Simba: "Hey Uncle Scar! Guess what?"
Scar: "I despise guessing games!"

Such a great and hilarious scene 💕

[mtiscool]

Pumbaa: “they’re local”

Timon: “oh are they?!”

Pumbaa: “yeah, they’re from right here”

[MayuUchiha]

I think the thing that upset me the most were the changes to "Be Prepared', definitely one of my favorite villain songs

[robby]

The best line they left out from the original the best line they left out from the original is when Simba angrily yells at the sky you said you'd always be there for me, it's powerful character building moment and the scene with Rafiki feels empty without it

[CarrotFlowers]

Whoa whoa I have to interject...despite the realism in new Jungle Book, ALL THE ANIMALS HAVE HUMAN EXPRESSIONS.

[armoredgaming]

I only wish they had included more of Rafiki. It was lacking his dynamic comical relief moments. He only had about one or two full sentences throughout the entire film.

[SimGirl]

I hate how they didn’t include the scene where Rafiki talks to Simba about the past such a powerful scene plus I hate the way Scar says long live the king in the original the way he says it is so creepy and in the new film he just shouts it and it doesn’t have the same effect....

[magicalunicorn]

"for the death of the king"
"why is he sick?" 😂😂
that's it, im gonna watch lion king again
