It's Beyoncé's Circle of Life, and we're just livin' in it.

Disney just debuted seven new photos in honor of the upcoming live-action The Lion King remake, out on July 19, and they show the voice actors staring into the eyes of their CGI characters. While some make us smile (Seth Rogan), others give us Mufasa-size chills (like Donald Glover).

Hakuna matata...it means no worries, because the movie is almost here.
