Among these films includes, “The Jungle Book” and “Beauty And The Beast.” It was once Walt Disney’s vision to remake some of his most famous films, and Disney is now giving fans a taste of the live action version of everyone’s favorite films.

The film is set to hit theaters in July following the release of “Dumbo” which was released in March and “Aladdin” which will be released in May. The trailer includes an invoice by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Scar.

The trailer showcases a young Simba growing up in the wild with the guidance of his animal pals. Simba, played by Donald Glover is guided by his father Mufasa as the trailer includes the famous line,

“Everything the light touches is our kingdom, a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.” The film also includes footage from the heartbreaking scene every fan knows where Simba loses his father to a pack of wildebeests. In the trailer, we also get a first look at Scar, the villain of the film, as well as both adult and young Nala, played by Beyonce Knowles.
