Check out the first official full-length trailer for Disney's upcoming remake of The Lion King, featuring several familiar felines, voices, and musical refrains, above. (Watch the previous teaser trailer here.)

The look at the CGI take on the 1994 animated blockbuster shows us Simba as both cub and king, as well as such iconic scenes as the wildebeest stampede and Scar's Elephant Graveyard. And be sure to watch until the very end to hear from your favorite meerkat and warthog duo.

The Jon Favreau-directed film, featuring Tony and Oscar winner Elton John's songs from the original, is set to arrive in theatres July 19.

The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, James Earl Jones reprising his voice performance as Mufasa, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, John Kani as Rafiki, John Oliver as Zazu, Billy Eichner as Timon, and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, with Amy Sedaris as a new character written specifically for this adaptation.

The stage adaptation of the Disney title continues its Broadway run at the Minskoff Theatre, having celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017.
