Disney has released a new advert for The Lion King remake featuring Beyoncé singing Elton John's 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight?'
The official trailer for the film debuted in November last year but there's now an ad promoting the launch of advance ticket sales, too.
In the 45-second clip, Beyoncé, who voices Nala in the animated movie, can be heard singing a duet a cappella with Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) who's behind the voice of Simba.

The advert also gives us a glimpse of other characters starring in the adaptation of the 1994 hit including Rafiki (John Kani), Mufasa (James Earl Jones), a young Simba (JD McCrary), Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and Timon (Billy Eichner).
The film lands in cinemas in the UK and US on 19th July but tickets are available to buy from today.
It's the latest in a long line of Disney remakes including Beauty and The Beast, The Jungle Book, Dumbo and Aladdin.
The original was recently voted 'the best animated film of all time' and if the reaction to the latest advert is anything to go by, the newbie's set to be a blockbuster, too.

"Beyoncé & Gambino's rendition of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it," wrote one Twitter user.
"I just heard the snippet of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" by Beyoncé & Childish Gambino and I'll admit....I cried a little. The whole entire movie and soundtrack is going to bring me back to those VHS and cassette tape days. I absolutely LOVE The Lion King," commented another.
The new clip has also got fans speculating about what other songs Bey might put her voice to.

"Idk about y'all but I am READYYYY to hear Beyoncé belt the Circle Of Life in the Lion King," posted one. However others noted the songstress isn't currently listed as the performer for the song on the IMDb credits.
Either way, we know what we're doing on 19th July!
