Hopefully, they'll put a scene where young Simba is saved by Timon and Pumbaa from the vultures, inspired by 2016 Jungle Book:

(Young Simba is sleeping peacefully under the desert sun, while two vultures circle above him.)

VULTURE 1: Well, well, well. Looks like that cub has fallen and he can't get up.

VULTURE 2: Shall we help him?

VULTURE 1: No, let's EAT him.

(The vultures land near Simba.)

VULTURE 1: Nothing spices a summer afternoon like some chubby lion cubby.

VULTURE 2: Just the thing to serve our friends if we had any.

VULTURE 1: Well, I guess we can eat him all by ourselves.

(A warthog appears out of nowhere, knocking into the vultures and Simba.  The unconscious cub lands a few inches away, while the warthog tosses one of the vultures into the air with his snout and kicks the other into the air as well.  Both vultures bump into each other and fall unconscious.  Simba remains unconscious through all this.  Then we dissolve to black, and then the sniffing snout of the warthog.  Then we cut to Simba, the warthog's point of view, waking up.  Then the cub jumps back, yowling in surprise.)

PUMBAA: (jerks his head back in surprise) Relax, kid. No need to get worked up, 'kay?

YOUNG SIMBA: Where am i?

PUMBAA: This is a jungle. It's our jungle.

TIMON: Me and his jungle, actually.

(Simba is a little confused.)

PUMBAA: You don't remember what happened, do ya?

YOUNG SIMBA: No.

PUMBAA: We saved your life. Yeah, we snatched you from the claws of death; the wings of death if you will. An' lucky fer you, your new favorite heroes, Pumbaa an' Timon here, just happened to be passing by.

TIMON: (surprised) New favorite heroes! (annoyed; grabs Pumbaa's snout) More like new favorie lunch! (gestures to Simba) Look at 'im! Shifty little eyes, sharp fangs, he's a carnivore.
