Silence, jungle! Beyonce is speaking at last.

The Queen Bey revealed her lioness Nala's voice in "The Lion King" with a brief teaser trailer released Monday. Beyonce had no comment on the footage, letting Nala do the talking for the live-action film (in theaters July 19).

In the teaser, Nala calls out to her childhood friend Simba (Donald Glover) to return to Pride Rock, now ruled by villainous Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

."Simba, you have to take your place as king," Nala says. "We need you. Come home."

Seriously, who is going to say "no" to Beyonce? Simba's coming home.

The teaser gets a little heated at the local watering hole as grown lion Simba eyes the grown Nala. The teaser also shows Billy Eichner’s meerkat Timon and Seth Rogen’s warthog Pumbaa in a bit of comic relief.
