Everything the light touches is their kingdom… including, apparently, world records.
The release of The Lion King live-action remake has been so eagerly anticipated, that it’s no wonder the teaser trailer has broken records!
Featuring the opening scene where baby Simba is introduced to the animal kingdom, who all bow in his honor, Mufasa can be heard saying, “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my time here and will rise as you as the new king.”
The trailer was released on Thursday and managed to become Disney’s most-watched trailer in 24 hours.
It scored 224.6 million views worldwide — coming second, globally, only to Avengers: Infinity War which earned 238 million views.
It’s the circle of life!
