The Lion King is now just over a month from roaring into theaters, and Disney has released another TV spot for the highly-anticipated retelling of the animated classic.
There are only a few snippets of new footage in this one, but we do get to hear quite a bit more of the legendary James Earl Jones as Mufasa as he delivers the famous "Circle of Life" speech to his son, Simba.
Check out the new spot below and let us know if you're looking forward to
The Lion King in the comments.
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, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
