No, you teared up when you heard James Earl Jones do his Mufasa thing in this new trailer for Disney's CGified remake of The Lion King.

With 100 days to go before the movie hits theaters, Disney has delivered a new, revealing trailer that gives Mufasa and Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor) more of a centerstage treatment. Fans familiar with the original animated film from 1994 won't exactly be taken by surprise, though; while there are surely some differences, this trailer continues to pitch the movie as a fairly shot-for-shot recreation.

That's not necessarily a bad thing for such a beloved Disney movie. Make sure you watch this one until the end for the most revealing tease yet of Simba's best pals, Timon and Pumbaa (voiced by Donald Glover, Billy Eichner, and Seth Rogen, respectively).

The Lion King hits theaters on July 19.
