Lion King is 1 of my favorite Disney movies I can remember seeing the film in theaters as a kid and being mesmerised to me it's Disney at the peak of animation and will always be a classic in my mind
The remake is straight up disrespectful to the people who made the original so fresh, beautiful and inspiring. I thought that the OG would never be remade, for it's importance of Disney and animation as a whole, but bop, ultimately made a piece of shit that spit the legacy, trying to "capture the essence", which none of it was clear. And no, I'm not interested on the sequel, even though the director is so convincing.
I was in cinema at it back in time. I was 9 years old. Then 2017, live concert of Hans Zimmer, they played Lion King. 14000 people instantly started to cry, including me. Im 38 years old now.
@@LaytonEversaul Massive credit due, ive been watching your Halloween retrospectives, all the information and clips gathered is really impressive and immersive, thank you for the hard work it’s appreciated
Another great video Layton! 10/10 Excellent production - great information (esp kimba and the digital formatting/cel shading cgi info) and thanks for providing link to the unedited original video :))
This is a special movie to me, Mainly cause it's one that has followed me throughout the years and it inspired me to be a writer. I love this movie so much
Lion King: the king of Disney movies Frozen: the queen of Disney movies Aladdin: the prince of Disney movies Little Mermaid: the princess of Disney movies Hunchback of Notre Dame: the villain of Disney movies Hercules: the hero of Disney movies
@@Simbala-bq5vy Walt Disney had interest in Beauty and the Beast, but at the time he didn't it be possible top the 1946 film by Jean Cocteau. So Disney took inspiration from the 1946 version when making their version, including Gaston.
This is by far my favorite Disney animated movie of all time. It's in my Top 10 Favorite movies of all time. The remake wasn't 1/2 bad. My wife loves the remake but she's pretty easy to please when it comes to movies anyway. When this movie came out I was working in a supermarket in the produce department and this movie played constantly on the TV in the VHS rental area which was in view of the produce isle. I practically have the movie memorized I've seen it so many times (or at least heard it so many times). Even still, it is one of my all time favorites.
@@balthasardenner5216It wasn't the worse of the remakes. Beauty & the Beast was by far the best of the live-action remakes. Mulan was pretty good, too.
13:18 Oh my God, now that's how the Jon Favreau's Lion King should've been like. Rather than them just rehashing the entire opening scene shot-for-shot.
JurassicKouseiZilla 2002 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬OMG!!! The Lion King remake is NOT a terrible movie!!! And the whole movie is not shot for shot. If you pay close attention you’ll notice the differences
What George Scribner wanted to do with the Lion King 1994 is what Jon Favreau achieved in 2019. And to most people who were fans of the original, it sucked, but to me it was WOW!
Wow a RUclips video that came out years ago and doesn’t just blindly say The lion king ripped off kimba... How are you such a small channel!? I. Gunna comment on a bunch of all videos so hopefully you get some more subs. I Like your retrospectives very much
Life has just been difficult/crazy for a few months, but I'll definitely be doing more now. I'm working on another video that will be up before the end of the month. Thanks for watching!
Timon Have over 6 actors Simba Have over 8 actors Scar have over 6 actors Pumbaa Have 3 actors Nale Have over 7 actress Zazu has over 7 actors Mufasa Have over 3 actors & Rafiki Have over 3 actors
I've watched Oliver for a long time now and I obviously share his love for behind-the-scenes documentaries, so he's definitely been an influence. I've tried to put my own little twist on it, however.
@@LaytonEversaul I have the 1995 Laserdisc you addressed. Cool features but it doesn't mention that the movie was partially Katzenberg's idea, or the fact that Disney top animators turned down The Lion King to work on Pocahontas. I think Katzenberg's controversial exit from Disney may have something to do with this, or mentioning that nobody had any confidence in the project may have tarnished the film's legacy upon release. Now more information is out about the films trouble dproduction. The bonus features really show the basics on how an animated film is done.
@@patrickshields5251 Nice! That release had amazing extras - I'm still hunting it down for myself haha. Katzenberg had poor judgment at Disney, so I agree that this likely facilitated his exit.
@@LaytonEversaul Come to think of it, back in the 90's, Disney released a lot of collectors editions of movies in box sets on Laserdisc to give hard core film buffs informative extras. But some behind the scenes material seemed to be ignored for PR reasons, like the infamous Black Friday reel from Toy Story. Apparently John Lasseter really didn't want to talk about that scene back in 1996, so he decided not to put it in the Laserdisc.
J's Watch tbh it just felt like a heartless film. I love Jon Favreau and in fact I love his Jungle Book remake but Lion King was just so dull and too heartbreaking to watch

The dust definitely says sex. There's tons of these things from this era of disney. Pair of tits in the rescuers. Priest has an errection in little mermaid. "All good teenagers take off their clothes" in Aladdin. Etc.
Gee.... of course the Siamese Cats are troubling to you..... do you people ever have an opinion that’s not cliched, predictable and second hand.... hilarious cause my people fought for Speedy Gonzales.... Sigh... chubby white people who watch movies....

One of the reasons I love The Lion King is because I feel like I can relate to Simba and his journey a lot
Simba is one of the first animal characters I grew up with that I can honestly say I can relate to in so many ways.
Yoooure….crazy man, you’re craaazy….I like you, but you’re crazy!
For real I'm also curious sometimes Sassy like he was towards Zazu and full of fun like he was as a kid
WE ARE SIMBA

This movie is a classic! I grew up watching this on VHS in the mid 90s. Still consider it one of my favorites of all time.
I watched it on VHS for the first time when I was 5. Me and my baby sister watched it with my mom in her bedroom. And I’ve loved the movie ever since.
Sad to see this video hit so hard with copyright. This is such a great video
Yeah. Fuck Disney for their ass holeness

This video is amazing keep growing man you got something special here.
Thank you, Franklin! Will do!
The sheer effort put into this video is fantastic
Thank you! It was really the first retrospective I did more or less in the style of my current videos. I'll find a way back to Disney some day.
@@LaytonEversaul Massive credit due, ive been watching your Halloween retrospectives, all the information and clips gathered is really impressive and immersive, thank you for the hard work it’s appreciated
This film means everything to me. I grew up when it came out. I've seen it on broadway twice as well.
I've been to the Broadway show 3 times. I've cried at exactly 3 Broadway shows. Coincidence??
The Lion King is my personal favorite disney movie.
When Nala and Simba Saw The Elephant graveyard Scar Wasn't kidding Scar was right The Elephant graveyard is a dreadful place

@@LaytonEversaul Sorry for unintentionally spamming you over a month ago! 😔

Wow it made so many records and it had to many obstacles what a classic this is in my opinion a perfect movie
I love this channel. Excellent thorough research. I'm excited to see more reviews of James Bond movies.

In my opinion the Lion King will always be the best Disney movie of all time in my opinion
This is really good. You think you could do something like this for The Jungle Book (1967)?
I love The Lion King
where have you been dude we need more uploads!
Life has just been difficult/crazy for a few months, but I'll definitely be doing more now. I'm working on another video that will be up before the end of the month. Thanks for watching!

Well done!

If you were gonna show a real real low, you should have had Songs of the South. That’s a terrible monster that even Disney is trying to hide away.
Applause !
Did you take inspiration from Oliver Harper?

@@patrickshields5251 Disney has always been very PR-conscious, so their behind the scenes stuff is always at least a little watered-down.
The lion king franchise have over 32 characters & 234 actors
FYI I watched this after watching the remake and I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL
Why
J's Watch tbh it just felt like a heartless film. I love Jon Favreau and in fact I love his Jungle Book remake but Lion King was just so dull and too heartbreaking to watch
@@nadafilms31 me maybe it's because this time it's kinda meant for adults but if u want jon to do a director's cut of the movie go ahead
Haha yea disney thinking pochahuntus would be a big hit really dight age well
Some one commant a meme of this

Number 2 lion king 2 1998
Number 1 Disney the original lion King animated movie 1994
To answer your question, the remake was the highest grossing animated movie ever but it sucked
Why is it Disneys dark horse? You mean Dark horse like the song from Katy Perry?
And then they remade in 2019. Man was it awful.
Disney's darlk horse
