The great Disney vivified story of wild animal life on the fields of Africa came back to theaters as of late with Jon Favreau coordinating a real to life redo that highlights the voices of Donald Glover and Beyoncé among its cast, just as returning entertainer James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa. The Lion King is the most recent in a progression of no-frills changes of Disney works of art, and the third real-life revamp this year alone - following Tim Burton's Dumbo and Guy Ritchie's Aladdin.

While the animals' capacity to act out in the film is constrained by the duty to photograph authenticity, there's no denying that The Lion King's cast incorporates some incredible voices, and they have fans chiming into the great soundtrack by and by.

One of the individuals who was enlivened was Travis Kinley, who chose to get together his horses and his three-year-old pet donkey, Nathan, to commend him while he sang his very own version of The Lion King's epic opening number "Circle of Life." While not all his pets were dazzled by the exhibition, Nathan delighted in it so much that he chose to chime in.

The 25-second video has gathered more than 3.1 million views on Facebook and is being shared all over the internet.

"I'm a part of the Young Preachers of America Facebook group and somebody poked fun at Lion King lessons," said Travis Kinley. "Another person began discussing 'Circle of Life' being a pre-message hymn book and I generally state, the evidence is in the pudding!"

Kinley said he went into his backyard where he keeps his donkey, Nathan, just as his riding horse and a smaller than usual pony.

"I hauled my phone out and began recording and he began whinnying beside me," said Kinley. "I moved the camera on him, I'm looking in the camera and I'm thinking, 'I can't accept this is going on the present moment!'"

Since posting the video toward the end of last week, Kinley said he's gotten many messages from individuals around the globe expressing gratitude toward him for a decent chuckle.

"Many people are grateful for the laughs and having something positive floating around," he said. "Some of the most rewarding ones have talked about them needing to feel some joy after going through a tough time and it’s so great to be able to deliver that smile and laugh to them."
