QUIZ: How well do you remember the lyrics to these Lion King songs?

♫ Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase. ♫

As Disney fans are no doubt aware, the live action version of The Lion King hits cinemas this week.

It has a star-studded cast and, if we’re being honest, we’ve got some pretty high hopes for the film after listening to the soundtrack this week.

But before we get ready to belt out Hakuna Matata in cinemas once again this weekend, we figured it was time to put your Lion King song knowledge to the test.

10 questions, 10 chances to Be Prepared. 

Good luck.

 In case you need a refresher on what the film is about, Disney’s The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born.

It follows Simba, who 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.
