Disney dropped a new clip ahead of their anticipated live-action remake of The Lion King during the Oscars' commercial break.

The savannah sunrise we all know so well with Rafiki declaring, "It's time," took us back to this childhood blockbuster and the visual effects make the introduction to Simba feel even more nostalgic.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Director Jon Favreau's all-new "The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. 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 ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
