An adorable picture captured a real-life Disney moment after a nature photographer snapped an image of a baboon holding a baby monkey up like Simba in The Lion King.

Photographer Dafna Ben Nun spotted the baboon with the baby on her trip to Zimbabwe seemingly re-creating one of the most iconic moments from the hit 1994 Disney film in front of her very eyes. In the movie, the baboon Rafiki—who serves as the royal shaman of the lion pride in the film—holds the newborn Simba up in the air atop Pride Rock, displaying the future king for all of the animals down below.
