Simba

Disney’s new version of The Lion King is just a little more than two weeks away. Tickets are on sale, the track list has been announced, and the cast is stacked with A-list voice talent. Today, Disney released a new featurette, titled “The King Returns,” and new posters to get fans even more excited about the upcoming movie.

The featurette (2 minutes, 29 seconds) features new footage from the film, some behind-the-scenes looks at the voice actors recording their lines — including Seth Rogen (Pumbaa) and Billy Eichner (Timon) recording the song “Hakuna Matata” — and interviews with cast members and director Jon Favreau.

Disney also released a set of seven new posters, featuring the voice cast opposite their on-screen characters. Check out the posters below, and catch The Lion King in theaters on July 19.
