Disney has dropped a teaser of its much-awaited CGI retelling of 1994 beloved animated feature "The Lion King".
The 90-second-long teaser of the Jon Favreau-directed film opens with a shot of quaint sunrise and soon introduces the daring yet confident voiceover of James Earl Jones as Mufasa. The actor had voiced the character in the 1994 original as well.
"Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun," says Mufasa as the teaser introduces the viewers to young Simba.
As the iconic shot of Rafiki presenting the young cub to the animals of the Pride Lands is shown, Mufasa says in the background, "One day, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king."
