Yes, kids (and adults). We're talking about The Lion King today. It is a classic film (not just a classic Disney film), so it's very dangerous to recreate it without getting the wrath of movie lovers everywhere. But if you're kittens, you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want.

The masterminds over at The Pet Collective have delivered yet again with The Lion King reenacted by kittens. It's as adorable as you can imagine it, especially when the kittens themselves can't really roar, so the "director" has to improvise.

And of course, the very tragic Mufasa death scene is in there, but it won't rip your heart out like the first time you watched it. Is anyone even over that yet? Can you ever get over that? Discuss. But in this rendition of The Lion King, the death is a blink-and-miss-it moment, and that is just fine with us.
