The Lion King Lyrics - "Circle of Life"

"Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama

Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]

[Chant repeats]

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life"

Who can forget those opening words, which nobody knew what they were? For me, it was 'natsiswenya abbabis schimubo'. Now that I'm older, with children of my own, I find myself extremely excited that Disney is pulling The Lion King out of the vault in October. This is definitely one classic I will be adding to my library.

Emma Watson In 'Beauty And The Beast': Guillermo Del Toro Film In The Works:

"Having just wrapped up a modern day fantasy of epic proportions, Emma Watson is reportedly eyeing a more classic land of make believe for one of her next projects.

'Crazy, Stupid, Love.,' producer Denise Di Novi told ComingSoon.net that Watson is lined up to star in director Guillermo Del Toro's new adaptation of 'Beauty and the Beast,' which Di Novi is developing. It'd be the first undisputed lead role for Watson; she's due to star in the ensemble of the teen drama adaptation, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' and has a supporting role in the Michelle Williams-starring 'My Week With Marilyn.'"

Beauty and the Beast (2013) Movie Preview | Starseeker:

"You will NEVER guess what Beauty and the Beast is about. It’s about this girl, who is beautiful, and a dude, who is sorta a beast. Sort of like Brian and the girls he stalks.

Actually, there’s almost no news about what this particular take on Beauty and the Beast will be. Two things are known at present: Guillermo Del Toro is producing, and Emma Watson has been cast as the star. That’s it. No doubt it’ll have at least a few similarities to Del Toro’s other work, but he’s only producing, and there’s no word yet on who will be directing it, so it’s hard to say what it’ll be like."
