The OFFICIAL trailer for Disney’s live-action The Lion King just dropped and I’m going
to explain it all for you.
They gave us a teaser trailer a few months ago which also had me freaking out, but this
one is the OFFICIAL one, meaning it has all the juicy details of what we can expect to
see.
Let’s get started with today’s video The Lion King Official Trailer Explained.
The trailer starts out with little Simba and another cub on a little stroll, only to be
confronted by the one and only Scar and his hyenas.
This is the first time we’re getting a good look at these live-action characters and Scar
looks even more badass than he did in the animation.
You can clearly see the Scar over his left eye, and you already know it’s him because
he says “Life’s not fair, is it my little friend.
While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps”.
Who else would be talking to a young cub about an issue like that.
We see images that replicate the exact scenes we saw in the original animation and let me
just say; the imagery in this looks INCREDIBLE.
I knew it would look realistic, but I didn’t expect it to look THIS real.
We see the legendary scene of Mufasa and Simba on top of the rock, overlooking all the different
animals and creatures that you’ll recognize from the original.
One part of the trailer that hit me right in the feels was when Mufasa and little Simba
are walking and Mufasa say’s “ A true king searches for what he can give”, and
we see Simba’s little paw step on Mufasa’s footprint that’s left in the dirt.
Ugh.
My heart.
I love that this remake is keeping the story the same and all the lessons the animation
taught us when we were kids.
We do see Scar telling Simba to run away and never return, so we know that he’s going
to be the same asshole he was in the original.
And who else do we see?
Rafiki ! This baboon is so life-like it’s almost creepy.
It’s nice to get some confirmation that all the characters we loved will be returning
for the remake and nothing about them has been changed or altered; they all look the
exact same.
As the trailer continues we see the legendary scene of Simba walking with Timon and Pumbaa
and growing older as the scene changes along their walk.
Like the original, he grows up and we see him get his first glance at the beautiful
lion Nala, who’s just as beautiful in this one by the way.
And fun fact, she’s voiced by Beyonce!
I can’t even pretend that I’m not excited to see the love story between the two of them.
We don’t see much of it in the trailer, but we know its coming and that’s all I
care about.
The trailer has an epic ending with Mufasa’s voice over saying “ you must take your place
in the circle of life” as we see grown-up Simba on top of the famous rock letting out
a loud roar.
Goosebumps!!!
But I can’t help but wonder if that means we will hear some of the original soundtrack
from the first movie.
Will we hear the song The Circle of Life?
Hakuna Matata?
And all the other jams.
I have no idea but let’s hope so.
After the credits roll we do get a cute little sneak peak at Timon and Pumbaa singing a snippet
of “In The Jungle” – so it seems like we will be hearing some of our favourite songs…
crossing my fingers!
The movie hits theatres July 19th, let me know in the comments if you’ll be going
to see it.
There’s no chance in hell I’m missing this movie.
This is life changing.
Okay maybe I’m being a bit dramatic but I’m PUMPED.
Give this video a thumbs up if you liked it; I’m your host Joce and I’ll see ya next
time!
