Disney dropped the first teaser trailer for next summer’s The Lion King live-action remake on Thanksgiving, and the much-pandered-to ‘90s kid demographic accordingly lost its shit. All credit where it is due—the trailer is beautiful. Just shot after shot of Serengeti wildlife in all their CGI majesty, while the Zulu portion of “Circle of Life” (by far the best part of the song) plays in the background. The James Earl Jones voice over! The tiny baby lion! You can hardly blame the adults of Twitter for losing their minds.
The film is directed by Jon Favreau, who also helmed 2016's The Jungle Book. Its big-name cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, John Oliver as Zazu, and James Earl Jones reprising the role of Mufasa.
Though everyone seems psyched for the movie, no one is looking forward to reliving the trauma of watching Musafa’s on-screen death.
