Any story worth telling is worth telling twice, so said Rafiki in The Lion King. Apt and timely since it’s back in theaters once more, and of course, we have an alum onboard.

We can’t help but roar with pride as we have our lone Academy of Art University in the list of credits for this reimagining of the Disney classic. We’re excited about Donald Glover and Beyoncé too, of course, among many other excitable things in this film.

So again, a hearty congratulations to our MFA Animation & Visual Effects alumnus for helping bring the Pride Lands back to life.

Disney’s The Lion King opens July 18, 2019.
