VIDEO Disney "The King Returns" Featurette | The Lion King TV commercial 2019 • 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” roars into theaters on July 19, 2019. 00:00 look Olson he lives in new Lion King was 00:06 a story that people knew intimately soon 00:10 Bob the reason the Lion King has endured 00:12 is because the inspiration that we're 00:15 getting from it is universal it's a 00:19 story that remains true to everybody 00:22 the songs are amazing just felt like 00:24 everything you want from a Disney movie 00:26 getting to relive it in a new way is 00:29 really exciting what's the model nothing 00:34 I'm entering into Lion King inheriting 00:37 all that I learned on Jungle Book there 00:39 was a tremendous opportunity to retell 00:42 the story using a new set of tools and a 00:44 new technology Jon just seems to have it 00:47 all there is really impressive how he 00:49 just sort of holds that all together 00:50 there I'd really admire the vast array 00:53 of talent that's been assembled for this 00:55 film it's a privilege to be counted 00:58 among these actors yeah let me come I 01:00 can help no son you stay with the other 01:03 goats and then the music there was such 01:06 a rich tradition surrounding the songs 01:09 that Hans and Elton and Tim Rice and now 01:11 Pharrell worked on all so that's nice to 01:14 have actors who are both the performers 01:17 and the singers the F Beyonce and Donald 01:19 they present something totally new and 01:21 exciting you have to take your place as 01:24 king these are real musicians bringing 01:27 their creative voices to this 01:39 hakuna matata yes I'm great this has 01:47 been a really incredible experience I've 01:50 never seen anything made this way before 01:51 the level of care where everybody knows 01:54 how much it means and everybody's that 01:55 invested seeing you again you don't know 01:58 what this will mean to everyone I love 02:00 the idea of audiences rediscovering 02:02 something you know that it's gonna be 02:04 very compelling and exciting 02:06 [Music] 02:08 we wanted to capture what people's 02:10 memory was of this with both the music 02:12 in the imagery I think when you could 02:13 capture the spirit but show them 02:14 something new and surprising is sort of 02:16 the best combo it is dying 02:24 you - advertisement spot 2019
