Doctor M's video: The Lion King 2019 Cast Voices

Who voices which animal in The Lion King remake? The Lion King is one of Disney's most beloved movies, and that adoration is only going to increase still further with the release of the new "live-action" version, directed by Jon Favreau, this summer. The central lion of the movie, Donald Glover will voice adult Simba, who lives deep in the jungle with his friends Timon and Pumbaa, following the death of his father. He remains there, happy until it becomes time for him to take his rightful place as king of Pride Rock and Nala finds him. Simba must overthrow Scar, his uncle, who had forced Simba into exile and now rules the pride lands with his pack of hyenas Beyoncé was Jon Favreau's top pick for the role of Nala, the lioness who is Simba's best friend through childhood and later on becomes his love interest, and her involvement in The Lion King was confirmed in November 2017. While the role of adult Nala is not necessarily major, having Beyoncé voice her - as well as write songs for the movie - definitely is.
