Disney fans around the world have been waiting with baited breath for the brand new live-action remake of the classic film, The Lion King, and now that it's finally arrived, we thought we'd catch up with the cast to test their knowledge of each other!

Although it is a live-action remake, of course, the actors are voicing the characters, so they don't necessarily meet up, like they would in your average film shoot. So, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and Jon Favreau were put to the test to see how much they know about their fellow cast members.

Our reporter, Lucy Ford, did her research with 'facts' from the Internet - which of course might not be true, and asked the cast questions such as, "Whose karaoke song is Seal's 'Kiss From a Rose'," and "Who's contributed a word to the Oxford English Dictionary?"

After lots of teasing The Lion King has finally arrived in cinemas. Last year, fans had the chance to see the first trailer from the live-action remake of The Lion King, getting everyone super excited. The trailer started with the iconic voice of James Earl Jones (Mufasa) along with sweeping shots of the African plains, before seeing key moments from the story, including the young Simba being presented to the animals of Pride Lands were shown.

Then, in the run up to the release of the new film, Disney confirmed there would be a Lion King-inspired album produced by Beyoncé, who plays Nala in the new film. Disney then dropped the full version of The Lion King remake's 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'.

Now take a look through the cast of The Lion King with their animated counterparts...
