THE LION KING: Check Out The First Trailer For Disney's New Take On The Animated Classic
The first teaser trailer for Disney and director Jon Favreau's new adaptation of The Lion King is now online, and it takes a lot of inspiration from the trailer for the animated classic. Check it out...
As a Thanksgiving treat, Disney has debuted the first teaser trailer for Jon Favreau's highly-anticipated remake of The Lion King!
Taking its inspiration from the now iconic teaser for the original movie, this first look at the live-action(?) retelling begins with the unmistakable voice of James Earl Jones as Mufasa as he narrates the stunning opening shots. We then see Rafiki making his way over to Simba, before holding the cub aloft to be greeted by his future subjects.
Unlike the original trailer, this holds off on giving us a full blast of Tim Rice's Circle of Life, instead opting for a final shot of Mufasa roaring across The Pride Lands.
Check out the teaser below along with a poster, and let us know what you think. The Lion King will be with us next July.
