Our beloved Simba is back and this time in a live-action remake of arguably one of Disney’s most iconic films to date. Best of all, it’s being released in China (July 12) a whole week before the USA (July 19).
我们最爱的辛巴回来了！狮子王作为迪士尼迄今为止最具代表性的电影之一，这次让整个丛林世界跃出二维世界，以全新的真人翻拍形式来到你的面前。这次《狮子王》在中国领先美国一周上映，将在7月12日登陆院线！
In case you just arrived on planet earth yesterday, The Lion King is the story of young Simba who idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny on the plains of Africa. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother — and former heir to the throne — has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is soon ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. Now, with help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba must figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
《狮子王》的故事家喻户晓。木法沙国王是丛林之王，他的儿子辛巴从小崇拜他，希望可以在非洲平原上延续家族荣耀。可是王国中存在着其他势力觊觎国王的权利。刀疤是木法沙的兄弟，作为前王位继承人，他计划一场阴谋。不幸的背叛降临在整个王国之中，丛林之争一触即发，最终辛巴被迫流亡。之后，辛巴在一群新朋友的帮助下，逐渐经历成长，最终收回了原本属于他的荣耀。
