This is the soundtrack of the 2019 movie
The Lion King, a photorealistic, albeit still
computer-animated remake of Disney’s
classic 1994 film of the same name. The
soundtrack includes not only songs from the
original film, but also a new score from that
film’s composer Hans Zimmer and a new
song, “Spirit”, by Beyoncé, who voices Nala in
the remake.FIVE FACTS:
- The soundtrack includes four songs from
the 1994 film, including the Elton John classic
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, now sung
by Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Billy Eichner and
Seth Rogen. - Glover stars as Simba in the new film, while
Eichner and Rogen voice the meerkat Timon
and warthog Pumbaa respectively. - Timon and Pumbaa were such popular
characters in the original film that they
were given their own animated TV series in
the 1990s. - The 2019 remake is directed by Jon
Favreau, who had previously directed
the 2016 remake of The Jungle Book to
considerable critical acclaim. - James Earl Jones, who voiced Mufasa in the
original film, reprises the role in the remake.
