The trailer features classic moments from the original Lion King released in 1994, including the animated film's stampede sequence and the montage of Simba growing up alongside Timon and Pumbaa before returning to Pride Rock.
"Life's not fair, is it my little friend?" Scar says to Simba. "While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps."
The Lion King, from director Jon Favreau, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 19. The new version features a photo-realistic animation style, the same style Favreau used on his 2016 remake of The Jungle Book.Donald Glover is voicing Simba and James Earl Jones is reprising his role as the voice of Mufasa. Beyonce is set to voice Nala with Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, John Oliver as Zazu, John Kani as Rafiki and Keegan-Michael Kay as Kamari.
