Everyone is hanging out  for Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King - and Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy Carter is no exception.

Beyoncé whipped fans into a frenzy over the weekend by uploading a Lion King-themed slideshow to Instagram, which included snaps of herself dressed in an incredible bodysuit featuring a lion’s head - a clear nod to her role as Nala in the film. 

However, it was the short video clip of 7-year-old Blue Ivy - complete with a suitably royal head piece - mouthing along to the lyrics of 'The Circle of Life' that really had social media users letting out a collective 'aaw'.
Beyoncé is understood to have recorded an incredible soundtrack for the movie, with Billy Eichner, who plays Timon, telling Crooked Media’s Keep It podcast that star's rendition of 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight?' is set to be a smash hit.

"She’s definitely in the movie because I’ve seen a rough cut. And I’ve heard her sing ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight?’ with Donald Glover and I’m telling you, it’s f***ing good,” Eichner said.

He continued: “And that was never my favorite song to be totally honest… I liked it when Elton John sang it. I love Elton John. I don’t want to give too much away about that, they do not want us talking about it. I will just say that honestly, it made me cry, and I was not expecting that.”

We. Can't. Wait.
