"Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase - When your movie makes loads of money in just a few days."
Ok, they aren't the song's real words but you get the idea!
Yes, the Lion King live-action remake has just been named as the highest-grossing animated movie ever. That means it's made the most money.
The film which starred Beyonce, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Seth Rogen, has made $1.33 billion (拢1.1 billion) at the box office.
The movie - which was released on 19 July - has removed Frozen from the top position, which made $1.27 billion (拢1.05 billion) in 2013.
The new Lion King film is now the 12th highest-grossing movie of all time, with the film looking likely to overtake other high-earners like Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 which made $1.341 billion (拢1.111 billion) and Black Panther which earned 1.346 billion (拢1.115 billion) at the box office last year.
It's still a way behind Avengers: Endgame which made $2.8 billion!!
The original Lion King movie, which came out in 1994, made $968 million (拢802 million).
