Obviously, Donald and Beyoncé are perfect 👑👑@Sethrogen & @billyeichner are next levelAnd of course I cried. Many times. But I was most impressed by the way @Jon_Favreau & team recaptured the lasting magic of a movie that I’ve seen 75 times. pic.twitter.com/Plb1guZDzF — Angelique Jackson (@angelique814) July 10, 2019

The Lion King official synopsis: 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. 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. The Lion King roars into Malaysian cinemas 17 July 2019.
