The Lion King 2019: the first trailer of the new movie

The first trailer for the remake of The Lion King, directed by Disney, has been released.

Scheduled for next summer, the film has huge names, including Beyonce, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Seth Rogan.

In the trailer, we see the first familiar moments in history, where Rafiki introduces a young Simba to Pride's land animals.

It aired in the first traditional Thanksgiving match of the NFL in the United States.

Here is a nostalgia for you:

Fans of the original movie were delighted to hear the trailer narrated by James Earl Jones, who plays King Mufasa in the original movie of 1994 and that of the following year.

The trailer has accumulated more than 10 million views in less than 24 hours.

This suggests that the new movie follows the original story – although Simba looks so clear in the trailer, some people worry about what it means for his father …

It is directed by Jon Favreau, who was behind the remake of The Jungle Book.

Donald Glover will play Simba, Beyonce, his love interest Nala and Chiwetel Ejiofor, his uncle Scar.

"The director has the dream of building a talented team like this to bring this classic story to life," said Jon.

But not everyone is happy with the Jungle Book remake, and it seems that some people are worried about Disney's latest attempt to recreate a classic for a new audience.

In addition to the jungle book, Disney has redone Beauty and the Beast (with Emma Watson) and Aladdin is expected to be released next year.

Will people get bored of seeing their favorite stories told over and over again?

Last year, Newsbeat talked about the new movie at the Lion King musical in London.

And Janique Charles, who plays Nala in the West End, gave advice to Beyonce.

The reaction of fans to the new trailer was largely positive, especially from young Americans watching the game.

The film's release is scheduled for July 2019.
