‘The Lion King’ trailer has an awesomely philosophical voiceover of Mufasa telling Simba “Life is not fair…is it my friend..while some are born to feast…others spend their lifetimes in the dark begging for scraps…Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance…While others search for what they can take…a true king searches for what he can give…You must take your place in the circle of life…”

The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
