Meanwhile, at D23, the cast of Disney’s live-action adaptation of Aladdin was announced, with Will Smith confirmed to voice the Genie.
Despite the majority of the world couldn’t attend Disney’s latest fan convention, D23, the company has decided to hold back footage from the Internet.
The scene saw rhinos, zebra, elephants and other animals gather around a huge rock where Rafiki presents the new baby Simba to the world.
There was also a clip from Jon Favreau’s Lion King played to the packed audience, itself an almost shot-for-shot recreation of “The Circle of Life” from the original animation.
