Jon Favreau's highly-anticipated, live-action remake of The Lion King is about four months away. Thus far, we've only gotten one trailer for the realistic adaptation of the classic 1994 animated film. However, some brand new footage from the 2019 remake recently debuted during the CinemaCon event.

Attendees were witness to actual scenes from the upcoming film, and thankfully ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis was able to relay it out to the rest of us.

If you're a fan of the original, you'll no doubt vividly remember the iconic scene in which Mufasa educates Simba about "The Circle of Life," it's this scene which CinemaCon guests were made privy to. Below is the aforementioned description. Thankfully, it's not too rich in spoilers, but it is quite lengthy. Check it out:

Footage sees Mufasa sleeping and getting woken up by an enthusiastic and relentless Simba. Sarabi tells him, 'Your son’s awake.' They emerge from their cave near Pride Rock. Simba is eager to learn from his father. His father, however, heads to the top of a rock to let out a roar. 'Dad? I’m not supposed to go up here,' Simba says . 'Look Simba,' Mufasa says. 'Everything the light touches is our Kingdom...One day Simba, the sun wil set on my time here, and rise with you as the new king.'

'All of this will belong to me?' 'It belongs to no one but it will be yours to protect.' 'Everything the light touches?...And beyond those shadows?' 'You must not go there Simba...While others look at what they can take a true king searches for what he can give.'

The two walk elsewhere, past impressively computerized spiders, elephant, and antelope. Simba questions how they protect the antelope when they eat them. Mufasa explains that when they die, they become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. They are 'all united in the circle of life.' Zazu comes across them. Mufasa encourages Simba to pounce at him, hiding in the tall grass. Simba does just that before rolling around, laughing with his father.
 

The Lion King is set to arrive in theatres on July 19th, 2019.
