Hakuna Matata? Definitely Hakuna Matata.

If you didn't just "awww" out loud after watching this clip, then we're sorry to say there is no hope for you. This itty bitty lion is doing his absolute best to belt out a terrifying big-boy roar, but all he's managing to do is steal our hearts (and pretty much the entire Internet).

Sounds like someone needs to do a little more practicing with dad! No worries though for this little guy. He's destined to grow up to be the king of the savannah, and boy does he know it. "Big scary tourist with a camera? No problem," he's probably thinking. "I'll just scare him away like Simba scared the hyenas away."

Well, he'll get there one day.

With so much confidence, there's no doubt that this little cub will eventually become the Mufasa he dreams of becoming (enemies beware!). But for right now…sorry, buddy. We don't want to run away from you. We want to cuddle you forever. Who's a little king? Who's a big scary kitty? You are!

Simba is one of our favorite film animals of all time:
