I cannot believe that this movie was literally unbeaten number one around the world till Frozen. Frozen is NOTHING compared to this. This movie is the best hands down.
Frozen isn't nothing, in fact it's definitely one of the more interesting interpretations of sibling vs sibling in fiction, as both siblings in Frozen are flawed in some way, and both have to learn from each other in order to grow. But of course, I do like Lion King more and has more complex themes that become more complex the more you analyze it. But regardless, I'm just saying that even though Lion King is higher doesn't mean everything else is just garbage. At least in terms of Disney films
I’m so glad the Disney Renaissance happened during the late 80’s and early 90’s. That era brought the world movies and also life lessons that will last lifetimes after we’ve completed our journey in the Circle of Life.
After watching this and after watching YMS's commentary on the 2019 version, I can tell that despite the lesser budget, everyone involved in this movie-the writers, the directors, animators, actors, and the songwriters and composers knew what they needed to convey. Watching this made me admire everyone involved in this movie for giving it love and care, and I know this has been said billions of times already, but this has more heart than the 2019 movie. This is exactly why animation is a powerful medium to tell compelling stories with relatable and mature themes, and current Disney should realize that.
"We are all part of something bigger than us, that we all belong and that our time here is brief but that our impact can be everlasting, if we would stay part of that circle of life" This is so true!
This movie has so much meaning to me. I saw this when it came out with my dad not knowing that it would be the last time I'd see him again. I'm 31 now and it's been 26 years since I've seen him.
ki kit so in a nutshell I considered that Kimba Japanese and the lion king American and so as Rafiki said it’s in the past and as Elsa says “ Let it go !!! “
I AM 63 YEARS OLD,,,,,,,, WHEN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE CAME OUT IN 1994,,,,,, MY FATHER WAS VERY, VERY SICK,,,, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF PASSING AWAY,,,,,, SO THIS MOVIE MEANS A LOT TO ME,,,,,,,, IT HOLDS A VERY DEAR PLACE IN MY HEART ❤️,,,,,,, I HAVE SEEN BOTH VERSIONS OF "THE LION KING". AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE OPENING NUMBER,,,,,,. "CIRCLE OF LIFE" WHEN I HEAR ALL THE AFRICAN VOICES,,,, AND SEE ALL THE ANIMALS,,,,,,,,, I FEEL THAT THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA,,,, IS CALLING ME,,,,,,,,,,, FINANCIAL WISE,,,,, I CANNOT TAKE A TRIP THERE,,,,,,, SO,, I HAVE PUT IT IN MY WILL, TO HAVE MY ASHES SCATTERED IN AFRICA, WAY TO GO,,,,. WALT DISNEY,,,,,,,,. THE LION KING IS THE BEST MOVIE THAT YOU MADE🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
TLK is definitely top tier Disney film of all time nobody can convince me otherwise, the movie brought me so much joy in my childhood I would replay it over and over again so much I broke the tape lol. I loved it so much, and even more as an adult the meaning behind it and how it helped me cope w. loss and knowing we all are not here for eternity but we got to make things worthwhile in life and never run away from anything.
I remember to this day when my dad bought me the VHS tape of this movie, I don’t remember exactly how old I was but I remember the moment when he gave me the VHS. I watched it so many times as a kid and watching it now as an adult just makes me really emotional, i can’t help but cry throughout the entire movie. It’s a shame how Disney have become a woke corporation and has lost its magic but I’ll be forever grateful to them for making this movie. The Lion King is a masterpiece and it marked my life.
Same, friend. I remember when my parents bought teh VHS for this movie for me and my young sister when were kids in Nigeria in 99. Still one of my favorite movies of all time😌😌 Sad disney has lost their way.
I mean, that's an over reaction. I only just watched it 24 hours ago at the time of this comment, and...well I didn't like it. IMO it felt like a soul less cash cow remake. The original, is the best, again IMO, forever.
I have a special connection with The Lion King because I was 1 1/2 years old when it was first released and a couple of weeks after, my grandfather died from complications of a stroke. As a kid, I didn’t like The Lion King because I always cried every time I watched the scene where Mufasa dies. It so happens that this year is the 25th anniversary of the movie’s release and my grandfather’s death and roughly two months before the remake came out, my dad passed away from cancer. The Lion King was one of my dad’s favorite Disney movies.
I discern The Lion King’s connection to Hamlet, but the analogy to Joseph’s story is absolutely brilliant. Hadn’t occurred to me until now. Simba’s exile, as well as interactions with Mufasa’s spirit, also bring to mind The Tale of Genji
This fucking movie makes me cry every time. Best Disney movie to ever come out of them, timeless classic with a timeless theme and timeless music. Disney Renaissance was truly amazing to witness.
I was 4 years old when this masterpiece was released and when I saw it in a local cinema and all I wanted was a Zazu plush afterwards. Without Internet it was hard to find and my parents called more then 10 toy stores to find one! I still own it for almost 24 years now.
He’s a great character! As the viewer grows older, I think their respect for Zazu grows. He’s extremely respectful and caring, and always pushes for the best outcomes for everyone. That’s a sweet story
I remember when my parents bought teh VHS for this movie for me and my young sister when were kids in Nigeria in 99. Still one of my favorite movies of all time😌😌 Hearing how they were inspired by their trip to Africa, the culture, the people, the clothing, pottery etc it was all so beautiful. They captured the essence of Africa far better than that trash "live-action" remake.
I also believe that Chosing Elton John for Music Direction was one the greatest moves by Disney and it had played a Major part in the success of the movie. I just had to add that comment here folks again and again.
The Lion King is one of The Walt Disney Studio's monumental films (like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia and Mary Poppins). The artistry and voice talent for this movie is just extraordinary.
Damn it, the one music track makes me cry even when nothing sad is happening. It's actually pretty bizarre - it's not even that I'm thinking about sad things....It triggers water works before I even have a chance to think. 😢 For example: They start playing it at 14:54 Then it's specifically the chord change, when the violins come in at 15:03. It's literally just those handful of seconds, because by 15:07 I uncontrollably start crying. This happened every time they play this part in the background of the video.
Although I like a lot of different things, I'm a true fan of the Lion King. As a kid watched this movie 3 times back to back with my sister (and of course idk how many time later on). We went to all the re-releases (3D and remake) in the movie theater. When I went to NYC for a week, yup-I had a Broadway ticket to the play. When visiting Disneyland Paris: I took a freaking selfie with Rafiki and ate in the hakuna matata restaurant (my friends could understand). And the fun part of it all? My sisters kids always try to impress me when they saw the lion king more than the other, or when they drew Simba etc. haha this movie resonates with everyone because it’s about the theme we are all in and can’t escape from, the circle of life.
It´s crazy now, knowing that the A-Team at Disney dont wanted to work on that movie because they thought it´s going to be a B-Movie. So Lessons Learned: only if a plot and the included characters are seeming weird somehow, does not mean that the movie can not be a big success!
I was 6 or 7 years Old when this Master Peace of Movies was released and finally after watching the entire movie when the credits started rolling in The first thing my Mom asked me was about the lesson that I have learned from this movie and by completing her question she said to me that the Moral of the story is "As you sow So Shall you reap". And she was right. One other thing that I learned from this movie was to always believe in yourself.
I'm still hopeful some company, maybe not Disney, but someone will bring hand drawn animation back, because I definitely want to make my own animal film one day that's all classical hand drawn.
Was a genius idea for them to make a spiritual successor to Bambi for a new generation. Bambi was the movie that turned Osamu Tezuka into a furry, it had an uncanny signifigance... furries in the chat know whats up
'This place is unlike any other place on earth'. What kind of daft expression is that? Of course it's unique, it's Africa! Same goes for Australia. The landscapes are so different from other places on earth, the flora and fauna is unique, have some of the most unique and beautiful animals, flowers and trees and waterways, the minerals and deposits and gemstone composites are unique. Africa is not the Circle, but the Cradle of life!
Mary Poppins, Beauty and The Beast and Lion King are Disney's crowning achievements, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs gets an Honorable Mention for being the 1st feature length animated film to be released in cinemas
ilovelegos2000 mine also and this would have to be one of my top ten favorite movies along with these 1. The lion king 2. Toy story 3. The Ten Commandments 4. E.T the extra terrestrial 5. Shrek 6. The greatest showman 7. Elf 8. The goonies 9. Life of pi 10. Jurassic park
IT'S ABOUT MAKING THE FLIM ABOUT BRAVEST STRONGEST RUFFEST TUFFEST COURAGEUS, WORK ALONE THOUGHT HUNT ALONE, LEARN ALONE, FIGHT HARDEST ALONE AND FIGHTING BACK ABOUT LIVING DIEING ALIVE AND GETTING REVENGE
Honestly the uncle aspect isn't all that Shakesperean, it's in many stories all the way back to Set and Horus in ancient Egypt, the more Shakespearean element is Henry V who just wanted to party and didn't want to deal with the responsibilities of being a king until he finally wises up.
Seriously my favorite movie ever. I was slightly bummed out that they were so heavily lent on the whole Biblical thing (being atheist and all). But still, epic movie and seriously childhood shaping. I love this movie no matter what.
Tal Lowengart well regardless the religion, all of their stories have a mythic element to it that makes the stories larger than life. Just look at epic myths like Iliad or Gilgamesh. Still awesome stories, but without the spiritual elements or Devine elements the stories may lack a quality that makes these stories epic. Maybe the ideas of fate, the unknown, or something greater than ourselves will always grab us and inspire us to be just as great if not better. At least in my opinion, but of course I am religious
I don't think they meant that in an evangelist sort of way. Frankly speaking, many Bible stories and parables hand down evergreen wisdom that doesn't require any religious conviction to enjoy or learn from. They have interesting motifs and symbolism, and tell us much about the time they were made, just like any other story.I'm an atheist too (or agnostic, I suppose), and I enjoy reading up on and analyzing bible stories and their meaning. That doesn't mean I believe in them, or want anyone else to believe in them.
Awesome Behind The Scenes Look Of Disney's The Lion King. My All Time Favourite Disney Animated Movie Since Disney's Frozen In 2013 And Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets In 2002 And Of Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame In 1996. Thanks Mate. X
I wish they would make chumvi is a male lion cub chumvi is very smart and clever sensible playful adventurous and tojo is a lion cub to be perfect and doesn't get hurt he is smart and not willing to help not somewhat pessimistic not lamenting they made their first appearance
It's funny to see how Rob Minkoff has changed during all these years. He looks like three different persons. No offense, though :) Thankyou for posting this, btw.
I wish they would make the lion king mufasa is more and more of a grand king scar very rough not very sleek but very wrinkled simba as a cub is smart clever sensible curious and adventurous spending much of his time learning the ways of a king simply envisioning what life is good
Chapters: 0:00 - Story Origins 4:40 - Timeless Themes 8:37 - The Story comes to Life 11:52 - Origins 17:48 - Production Research Trip 20:09 - Art and African Influence 24:10 - Reflections 30:33 - Storyboard Process 32:30 - Production Design
I don’t know why people say this is a ripoff of some Japanese cartoon and in a nutshell this movie is successful and has beautiful animation and details on stuff like the environment and the animals and Kimba they made look a bit cartoonish compared to this and this movie won two oscars for music and original song and think that Kimba thing got any oscars and it was all in the past and as Elsa says “ let it go “
I'm sickened, like actually physically sick that Disney would dare to remake this beautiful epic classic. They've gone too far. I heard now they're making a new The Little Mermaid. I mean, really?!?!
I wish they would make Tama Is a lioness cub she is relaxing and claiming chilling out lean back taking it easy slow it down get yourself a life let it go kula is a lioness cub she is relaxing and claiming chilling out lean back taking it easy slow it down get yourself a life let it go she is much of a daredevil
Will You Just Shut up about something that you wish, or the Original Concept of this Film is?! they're not going to Do what you wish!!! This Film is Perfect as what it is, Deal with it. just stop wishing what you want and just shut up about what you wish.
I wish they would make the lion king journey of a young lion cub named simba as he success to accept his responsibility of adulthood as he destined role of the king of the jungle as a courageous cub and didn't spends his days frolicking with his pal Nala his father king mufasa the reverd ruler of the pride rock and the lands the lion king set in Africa a battle between lions and leopards with scar and his aunt being a leader of the leopards rafiki as a cheetah a mongoose and a wildboar being simba's childhood icons simba does leave the kingdom it would become busy relax stright great character
THEY SHOULD DO THE LION KING A TALE ABOUT GROWING UP IN THE WILD TAKING OUR PLACE IN THE PLANET ABOUT THE COURAGE, ANGCENT STRENGTH, VILLOVENT, DARING, NOVLE OF BARING, COURAGEOUS, GIALLANT, AND A MOUNTAIN OF TALENT AND WISDOM.
I love the lion king your deleted scene where simba decides to return should be in it but mufasas ghost should be in it too (witch it is) I love all lion king stuff in it is love u guys for making it I'm 10 going on 11 and I am grateful for u guys making it 😃😊😆😄
I wish they would make the lion king set in Africa a battle between lions and leopards with scar being a leader of the leopards rafiki as a cheetah the black leopards or Panthers being simba malka chumvi tojo sparky scruffy's childhood icons simba malka chumvi tojo sparky scruffy does leave the kingdom it would become busy relax stright great characters
I wish they would make the lion king set in Africa a battle between lions and leopards with scar being a leader of the leopards rafiki as a cheetah the black leopards or Panthers wild boats and mongooses being simba's childhood icons simba does leave the kingdom it would become busy relax stright great character
I wish they would make the lion king story about growing up taking our place in the world about the legacy prophecy courage wisdom the terrible power hunger sixth sense throw the throttle the prey the spirit unity of strength overcome the optical the destiny
peter Schneinder I came to the studio In 1985 and it began an extraordinary journey of making about 5 movies great mouse little mermaid beauty and the beast and Aladdin and who framed Roger Rabbit oliver&company hey what am I chopped liver
I wish they would make the lion king resemblance to the new adventures kimba the white lion allad Ian and the king of thevies the adventures of huck Finn battle being between lions and leopards scar being leader of the leopards simba become relax tidy and careful and great character deity grew up in the jungle
I cannot believe that this movie was literally unbeaten number one around the world till Frozen. Frozen is NOTHING compared to this. This movie is the best hands down.
Funny thing is that the Lion King went to the amateur and younger artists, Disney had the "better" and more experience do Pocahontas lol
Frozen isn't nothing, in fact it's definitely one of the more interesting interpretations of sibling vs sibling in fiction, as both siblings in Frozen are flawed in some way, and both have to learn from each other in order to grow.

Hey i love incest lesbian princess . Kudos for Disney take bold move 😆😆🤞🤞👌
actually it got taken down by Nemo, which was then taken down by Shrek 2, which was then taken out by toy story 3 which was then taken down by Frozen
@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit I love Finding Nemo

Anyone else think this is beautiful? The themes, the music, all of it. Simba, Nala, everything.
The Lion King is simply a materpiece
One of the most beautiful films ever made. ❤️🦁
greenkitty82 I agree and this would have to be one of my top ten favorite movies
"We are all part of something bigger than us, that we all belong and that our time here is brief but that our impact can be everlasting, if we would stay part of that circle of life" This is so true!
This movie has so much meaning to me. I saw this when it came out with my dad not knowing that it would be the last time I'd see him again. I'm 31 now and it's been 26 years since I've seen him.
I'm 32, and had the film on video when I was a kid.
The Lion King will always be a all time classic forever and James Earl Jones is the best.
True
well the live action department must have thought so too if they brought him back to do Mufasa again
This movie touched my life!!
not just yours
BEST FILM ever... great songs, never to be forgotten
Well, with the remake coming soon i don't think it will be forgotten.
Lion king copied kimba the white lion
And Finding Nemo
ki kit so in a nutshell I considered that Kimba Japanese and the lion king American and so as Rafiki said it’s in the past and as Elsa says “ Let it go !!! “
@@kikit7262 And the story of Hamlet.
I am almost 33 years old. I saw it the summer I turned 6 (1994) at the drive in.
The greatest Disney of all time.
Same. I'm 33 now. Saw it when I was 5. Absolutely awesome
I saw it first as a 2 year old and that's the moment i picked up drawing....and by 5 had drawn over 100s of Mufasa sketches.

💯
Camille F I agree this is one my favorite movies and Disney movie
TLK is definitely top tier Disney film of all time nobody can convince me otherwise, the movie brought me so much joy in my childhood I would replay it over and over again so much I broke the tape lol. I loved it so much, and even more as an adult the meaning behind it and how it helped me cope w. loss and knowing we all are not here for eternity but we got to make things worthwhile in life and never run away from anything.
Watching this, and my god, THIS original is why it will forever remembered, forever cherished, forever loved
Thank you for keeping this up on RUclips.

I had the VHS tape too in '95. Till this day I still know the movie line by line from watching it soooo many times as a kid.
Same, friend. I remember when my parents bought teh VHS for this movie for me and my young sister when were kids in Nigeria in 99. Still one of my favorite movies of all time😌😌 Sad disney has lost their way.
Such a powerful movie, from beginning to end. Circle of Life and the music when Simba is ascending Pride Rock always gives her goosebumps.
How dare Disney remake this classic. Live action can never and will never touch the magic of animation.
haha just don't watch it?
Didn’t hurt to try, but it was still a good movie
"How dare"? Jeez, it's not like it's a sin on humanity. You don't have to watch it.
I mean, that's an over reaction. I only just watched it 24 hours ago at the time of this comment, and...well I didn't like it. IMO it felt like a soul less cash cow remake.
The original, is the best, again IMO, forever.
the lion King is Amazing .. my childhood best Disney movie and characters .. and am still in Love with it . the amazing story and the beautiful songs
One of the greatest films of all time. It's always an experience even to watch making-of documentaries.
I have a special connection with The Lion King because I was 1 1/2 years old when it was first released and a couple of weeks after, my grandfather died from complications of a stroke.

The Jeremy Irons and James Earl Jones rivalry is one of the best in cinema history. Disney needs to bring back villains.
this makes me emotional
Me, too. All the nostalgia
@@brianekay4149 same
Lion King is absolutely better than Frozen.
Oh, God a trillion times better!
True
Thank you
Es cierto
Here, here!
Back when Disney cared about story and artistic integrity.
I discern The Lion King’s connection to Hamlet, but the analogy to Joseph’s story is absolutely brilliant. Hadn’t occurred to me until now. Simba’s exile, as well as interactions with Mufasa’s spirit, also bring to mind The Tale of Genji
The music is wonderful it's a legend
It's so breathtakingly beautiful, haunting, epic, so moving.
Lion king copied kimba the white lion
They stole the song from a tribe
Zimmer won the Oscar
oh come on I bet NO ONE even heard of Kimba until the Lion King came along
This fucking movie makes me cry every time. Best Disney movie to ever come out of them, timeless classic with a timeless theme and timeless music. Disney Renaissance was truly amazing to witness.
"Going there (Africa) feels like coming home" that's because we all came from there!
Wh-
What
I cried at the end.. such a masterpiece

Taken from The Lion King Platinum Edition 2003 DVD Disc 2.

You can do it!! Never give up!
As do I.
Maybe I'm oversimplifying it, but I think people just like good storytelling. It doesn't really matter what the subject is.
lion king was released in the same year that i was born it doesnt get old for me
The 2019 version hasnt done justice at all and nowhere close to the masterpiece created in 1994
I'm still hopeful some company, maybe not Disney, but someone will bring hand drawn animation back, because I definitely want to make my own animal film one day that's all classical hand drawn.

No truer words have ever been spoken
When I look at this, it just makes me even more angry that the 2019 version exists.
Mary Poppins, Beauty and The Beast and Lion King are Disney's crowning achievements, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs gets an Honorable Mention for being the 1st feature length animated film to be released in cinemas
Snow White is definitely a crowning achievement since it’s pretty much the cornerstone of the Walt Disney Company.
this is one of my all time favorite films! I still love this movie at 19! frozen is a pain in the butt!

The lion king is a favorite.
Lion king is one of those movies that shows when we are all connected in the circle of life.
I've been a fan of lion King since day 1. I'm almost 21 now and still love it. I'll take it over minions and frozen
Perfect Movie
I wish they would make chumvi is a male lion cub chumvi is very smart and clever sensible playful adventurous and tojo is a lion cub to be perfect and doesn't get hurt he is smart and not willing to help not somewhat pessimistic not lamenting they made their first appearance
This should be in Disney Plus
It's funny to see how Rob Minkoff has changed during all these years. He looks like three different persons. No offense, though :)
Thankyou for posting this, btw.
I know I never gor
He directed mr Peabody and Sherman for DreamWorks
I like all the 90s clothes in this documentary. It's funny.
I wish they would make the lion king mufasa is more and more of a grand king scar very rough not very sleek but very wrinkled simba as a cub is smart clever sensible curious and adventurous spending much of his time learning the ways of a king simply envisioning what life is good

I don’t know why people say this is a ripoff of some Japanese cartoon and in a nutshell this movie is successful and has beautiful animation and details on stuff like the environment and the animals and Kimba they made look a bit cartoonish compared to this and this movie won two oscars for music and original song and think that Kimba thing got any oscars and it was all in the past and as Elsa says “ let it go “
And I can't believe they're making a remake of it.
I'm sickened, like actually physically sick that Disney would dare to remake this beautiful epic classic. They've gone too far. I heard now they're making a new The Little Mermaid. I mean, really?!?!
It's just because they're running out of ideas.
@@brianekay4149 Jeez, calm down. The remake doesn't erase the original form existence or anything.
Well, nobody's asking you to watch it.
I wish they would make Tama Is a lioness cub she is relaxing and claiming chilling out lean back taking it easy slow it down get yourself a life let it go kula is a lioness cub she is relaxing and claiming chilling out lean back taking it easy slow it down get yourself a life let it go she is much of a daredevil

I wish they would make the lion king journey of a young lion cub named simba as he success to accept his responsibility of adulthood as he destined role of the king of the jungle as a courageous cub and didn't spends his days frolicking with his pal Nala his father king mufasa the reverd ruler of the pride rock and the lands the lion king set in Africa a battle between lions and leopards with scar and his aunt being a leader of the leopards rafiki as a cheetah a mongoose and a wildboar being simba's childhood icons simba does leave the kingdom it would become busy relax stright great character
