In addition to the newest version of Rivers of Light that debuted tonight (and will debut to the public tomorrow!), there’s a special new The Lion King-themed Tree of Life Awakenings series that will be featured each evening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with a new story inspired by this summer’s release of “The Lion King.”

Moments from Simba’s journey are depicted in a beautiful artistic style, set to an evocative musical score comprised of new arrangements of familiar tunes. Check out the full show below!

Tree of Life Awakenings shows take place approximately every 10 minutes intermittently from nightfall to park close.

Will you be heading over to Animal Kingdom this weekend for the new offerings? We know we’ll be coming back again and again!
