Beyoncé recreates 90s nostalgia with 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'

'The Lion King' promo was released yesterday

Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Disney’s original animated classic, The Lion King, there is a new teaser that released on Sunday.

The live action film was a musical. Thus, the clip instantly gathered attention for its inclusion of singers like Beyonce and Donald Glover singing the iconic Elton John-penned song Can You Feel The Love Tonight that was such a staple of the original.

Disney will be bringing Beyonce as Nala and Donald Glover as Simba   in the remake version of film. Fans of the franchise have been eagerly waiting to hear a glimpse of both of them playing the roles of lioness and lion, respectively!

The song made the original Lion King an all-time favourite of the Disney’s animated canon, so its not surprising that director Jon Favreau thought to round off the cast with exceptional vocal and singing talents this time around.
