I’ve complained in the past about how much I don’t need these live-action Disney remakes, but after thoroughly enjoying the recent Aladdin film, I’ve pretty much decided to accept that, so long as these movies are executed well, I’ll be seeing these damn things…so I should stop complaining and whatnot. After making that declaration, I found it that much easier to enjoy all of the marketing the House of Mouse has been churning out for The Lion King.

This includes a new TV spot that hit using the “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” music and a bunch of new clips mirroring the original film. If I haven’t said it enough, it confirmed how much I was on board. And now, idiots like me can also buy their tickets, as Disney has confirmed. You can check out the new TV spot down below!

But that’s not the only thing on sale! Also up for preorder is the official The Lion King soundtrack. In addition to new takes on the classic film, there will also be an all-new song from Elton John and Tim Rice.

“Just hearing that music strikes you deeply,” Favreau said in a statement. “Even if you don’t know the film or stage show, there is a spiritual strength in it. But if you know the film, and if you grew up with this music—now it can suddenly and immediately evoke the story itself, as well as all the connected memories and emotions that you have from your own past experience with The Lion King, or from the time of your life that you were in, or your childhood, or the life events it’s connected to.”

Will you be picking up tickets and the soundtrack? Let us know in the comments down below!
