Hear Simba roar! The first official trailer for Disney's live-action adaptation of The Lion King has finally arrived, so consider us excited beyond belief. The film stars Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Beyoncé, Billy Eichner, James Earl Jones, and more in the film's biggest roles. In the minute and a half of footage above, we see a glimpse of young Simba — who's unbearably cute! — facing down Scar, hanging with Nala, running around with Timon and Pumba, and other re-creations of some of the 1994 animated film's most iconic moments.
Unsurprisingly, the CGI is perfection, which has us even more excited for it to come out. Between this film, Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, and all the other live-action Disney adaptations scheduled for release, we have so much to look forward to. Watch the official trailer above, as well as the previous teasers ahead, before it hits theaters on July 19, 2019. Then, check out all the other A-list actors who have joined the cast!
