Video: Limerick man recreates Simba’s presentation in the Lion King in super Snapchat story

The Snapchat of life, it moves us all

Conor Heneghan

The sun does funny things to people.

If you have never seen The Lion King, then give yourself a slap in the face, have a glass of cop-on and go and watch it right now. Go on, we’ll wait.

We’re assuming that most of you have seen the Disney classic and will be familiar with the iconic scene when Simba is presented, prompting a sudden burst of sunlight while ‘The Circle of Life’ rings out in the background.

Inspired by the recent spell of fine weather, Johno from Limerick sent us in his Snapchat recreation of one of the most famous scenes in movie history.

While his effort may lack the majesty that Disney managed to project in the film, it’s a worthy effort all the same and we dare say Mufasa himself would be proud.

After seeing that, you can bet your ass we’re going to have another look at the original.

Never gets old…
