Disney’s “The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, 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.

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.

I love lions ?They are magnificent animals! The way they move, roar, and command respect! They definitely are the king of the jungle!!
I saw the other Lion King movies and loved them! I also bought the DVDs. I am excited to see this film, because it’s real life! It’s not a cartoon. I saw the trailer and it was excellent!! There are some celebrities that I like in it and I have been a fan of Jon Favreau, the director, for years. This movie comes out July 19th – which is my daughter’s and granddaughter’s birthdays! So I won’t forget this winning masterpiece debut at the movies ?Thank you for sharing!
