I watched the much-anticipated 'Lion King' movie last weekend with the girls from the office, and I have pretty mixed feelings about it. I think because after reading all the articles about it, I built it up in my mind to be a huge thing.

The movie itself was great and it was really nice to have taken a trip down memory lane watching a Disney classic. And then there was Queen Bey. I think that she underacted a bit and didn't come through as much as I wanted her to. But with all that said, I do recommend you go out and watch it.

Talking about the movie, Travis Kinley from South Carolina, USA was out and about singing 'Circle of Life' when all of a sudden, his donkey Nathan joined in. Yes, a donkey. 

The adorable video shows the American trying to piece together words of the song and from nowhere, Nathan began braying in the most hilarious way possible. 

Three million views later and we still don't know which rendition of the song is better. 

Watch it below:

While I love Nathan and his owner's rendition, here's the official song: 

In case you missed it, I chatted with South African music composer Lebo M and actor John Kani ahead of the movie's release. Play catch up by listening to that interview here
