The original animated movie was released in 1994, and starred some other big names in Hollywood. Matthew Broderick voiced Simba; Moira Kelly as Nala, Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi and James Earl Jones surprisingly lent his infamous voice to Mufasa the first time around, too. The classic grossed $968,483,777 over its overall lifetime.
The excitement for the film is like no other, especially for the narration of the movie by Jones. Check out what Black Twitter had to say:
