The Lion King Trailer:



Movie Synopsis:

In “The Lion King,” pioneering filmmaking techniques bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way. 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.

Our Thoughts:

I remember watching the animated Lion King movie and just loving it, so when I heard there was a live-action version coming out, I was very excited to see how it would turn out. The scenery is just beautiful. The animals look so real. I got teary eyed hearing the "Circle of Life". It brought back memories. I had to fight the urge to sing along with the songs. I just wish Jeremy Irons would have been called to reprise his role as Scar - he was an iconic voice in the animated movie.
