VIDEO: Stars of ‘The Lion King’ Surprise Guests at Festival of the Lion King
Visitors to Animal Kingdom this past weekend received a very special treat! Guests got to enjoy a special surprise performance of the Disney hit song “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” performed by JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph who voiced the role of Young Simba and Young Nala in Disney’s new live-action “The Lion King” which comes out in theaters in just a few short days (July 19th.)
This special appearance happened before one of Walt Disney World’s “Festival of the Lion King” shows to the utter delight of audiences.
Check out this fun video of the surprise:

The live-action adaptation of the much-loved Disney animated classic features song favorites like “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” “Circle of Life,” “Hakuna Matata” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.” The new film will also introduce original songs, including the uplifting “Never Too Late,” performed by Elton John and “Spirit” performed by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
