The Lion Kings director Jon Favreau has shared the one real shot used in the live action remake.
Despite the entire film being CGI, it turns out there was one backdrop which was actual real life footage.
And we have all the goosebumps.
Taking to Instagram, the 52-year-old shared the image, and revealed the Easter egg that we all missed.
In the caption, he told his 1.6million: This is the only real shot in #TheLionKing. There are 1490 rendered shots created by animators and CG artists.
I slipped in one single shot that we actually photographed in Africa to see if anyone would notice.
Explaining where we can see the shot in the piece, Jon added: It is the first shot of the movie that begins The Circle of Life.
