It was joy and excitement at the premiere of the Amstel Malta-sponsored Lion King and Jungle Festival as guests from within and outside Lagos State converged on the popular Palms Shopping Mall to witness one movie that dominated the entertainment scene for days.
It was in the spirit of the Disney’s original animated feature of 1994 that gave birth to the remake of the movie that hit cinemas across the country in style, topping movie charts and making history as one of the most viewed for weeks.
The film starred the voices of Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) who is popularly known for his songs, who played the lead role of Simba. It also paraded all-time people’s favourite, Beyoncé playing the role of Nala.
The inclusion aroused the interest of younger generation, who might not have had the privilege of watching the animation earlier released.
Over the weekend, at least 1,000 guests took part in the Jungle festival event that was created to bring home the importance of the story, so guests can experience in entirety the mood at the pride rock.
