Disney's The Lion King opens in theatres Friday. 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. Utilizing pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way, Disney’s “The Lion King” is in theatres Friday. 00:00 you look normal off to a great start I 00:08 thought it was fun to record Hakuna 00:11 Matata with these guys 00:13 [Music] 00:19 it's really cool to work with something 00:22 this big you don't want to just recreate 00:24 the song you want to reinvent them 00:26 that's a great idea 00:27 you also want to be that person who like 00:28 sings the national anthem crazy we got 00:35 to improvise a lot and find our own 00:37 version of it you know this story is a 00:51 classic story that everybody kind of 00:53 understands and knows but everybody's 00:55 just kind of doing what comes naturally 00:57 I think the key when you're doing 00:58 something as beloved is the Lion King 01:00 it's a real honor to get to be a part of 01:02 it I thought I deserved it yeah 01:05 [Music] 01:15 one more time oh no I think we did we've 01:19 got this one no just getting in the 01:20 groove now let's leave him wanting more 01:22 Hakuna Matata - advertisement spot 2019
