You've never seen "A Circle of Life" like this before.

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba. Sithi uhm ingonyama!

Get ready to scream-sing those Zulu lyrics once again. Disney just dropped the first full-length trailer for the live-action remake of The Lion King during Sunday's Oscars.

The trailer features a big chunk of the familiar opening sequence – singers chant the iconic opening lines of "Circle of Life" while the sun rises and Rafiki lifts a baby Simba over the animal kingdom.
