i believe that, when that first line in the opening (NAAAAAA SEVENYAAA...) played for the first time, in the theatre, when the lion king first came out, everyone in the whole world's hair stood up on their arms, and we realized we were being called to see something awsome. and back then, we answered that call by telling the box office that the lion king was so awsome that when they took it out of theatres they put it back in.
Oh and one more thing...for the actual reason I came to ths video - these songs are freaking amazing. i could listen to these songs all day - they are so relaxing. i love this movie :D
hate and dislike so much because it apparently gives off a perverted sense. when they made this movie, no kid thought like that. people take those things nowadays way to far. it's a movie about a lion cub who grows up without anyone but two buddies who found him, and completely forgets who he was supposed to be. go watch hamlet and get a better feel of what the movie REALLY IS because all the crap you were saying has nothing to do with the message. Get a life and view something that you like.
though....the princess and the frog is an amazing movie! that's a comeback and i hope they continue to make movies like that. the classic disney movies are what the kids nowadays need in their lives. so if you, @harrodas, and whoever else comments hatefully towards this movie and other disney classics, dislike these movies so much, don't show them to your kids or whatever later on and don't go looking for these videos on youtube. i don't understand why you would waste your time on something you
you're joking right? the word in the scene is not sex, it is actually the acronym for the sound effects company that was working on that scene. those that decide to say that the classic disney movies are nothing but stupid, satanic, or perverted are rediculous. this movie is one of the best movies in the world. i'm 19 years old and i could watch this movie every day. in fact, the passed three days i've watched it. the kids nowadays don't have movies like this anymore. i will say this
Those who do not like what I said, Control you fucking hands replying to me. I don't give a shit what you say. Not even a word. I am just giving a warning. And then you guys are being immature insulting me. Well fuck you those who is going to insult me. If you don't have a chipmunk brain then ignore the damn fucking comment. Telling me to shut the fuck up is ridiculous cause I am Typing not talking. Retards.
@harrodas Part One of Two: Do you really mean that? These are my opinions, I don't say they are correct, they're ponderings: Do you believe many movies are what you believe The Lion King to be centered around?
@harrodas End Comment: If so I think you're trying to distort what's beautiful and honest into the opposite because you think the world is the place where you're duced upon and everyone one else is held up to the Sun like Simba. Let's be honest, most people at points through life feel that way too, but remember the world is only what we perceive it to be. I wish to destroy my vote down of your comment.
You guys are calling The lion King good and a great movie for kids? Think again. There's a hidden word "Sex" in all scene of this movie. Disney is a Satanic. The Lion king movie is the #1 pornography, sexual, perverted movie in Disney. This movie of created by a guy who had AIDS and died from it. Still Disney still creates sexual satanic movies.
@harrodas you are a fucking retard. straight up. disney is the definition of childhood. i'm 16 and i still get chills from hearing these songs. disney is one the greatest things that's ever happened, and only nit-picky assholes like you look for subliminal messages. do you kids look for those kinda things? millions of objects can be interpreted as phallic or as innuendo. people with your mind are the fucked up ones. get the fuck out
@dakillanocerus First of all I am typing not talking you fucking retard. If you don't like what I said. Control your fucking hands replying to me and ignore it you little dipshit. I am just saying what I said you asshole. Now fuck off and ignore what I say. Second of all youtube doesn't have a room to "Get the fuck out". I don't give a shit how great is this movie is. But it is satanic. Fuck off with your opinions.
@harrodas how about you shut the fuck up. ive seen videos of where there is "sex in ever scene" and has to be written in for it to be there. just because grass is slightly similar to letters doesnt mean it says sex. there is NO pornography in it. and there are slightly sexual parts like when nala licks simbas face. but thats how animals kiss. and it doesnt matter that a person who made the movie had AIDs. people should be praising the maker for living his life with it and making a masterpiece
@legalconspiricies First of all I am typing not talking you fucking retard. If you don't like what I said. Control your fucking hands replying to me and ignore it you little dipshit. I am just saying what I said you asshole. Now fuck off and ignore what I say.
@harrodas Whoa whoa what? You think this is bad???? My parents showed me Watership down and Felidae and if you think this movie is bad then you sir are a fucking retard. those movies and this are the best movies ever seen.
@NativeAmericanQueen1 Do not get god in it. The lion King is a pornography, sexual, satanic movie. Don't believe me? Search up Hidden Words in lion king.
I prefer Hand-Drawn animation MUCH MORE than Computer animation. I think that Computer animation should only help Drawn animation (like the Stampede scene in Lion King and Deep Canvas in Tarzan)

i am a guy and i literally almost cried when i heard "king of pride rock" by Hans Zimmer...its just so epic and combines everything from life: the good the bad, the struggles and the victories. Its just so powerful; he and Ennio Morricone are probably the best composers.
@Vash1286 Don´t forget Danny Elfman or James Horner. And my personal favorite, the one who probably has got more commonly known themes than anyone else: John Williams!
@Vash1286 I love the lion king's score. Very powerful indeed. I also like countless other scores from hans zimmer. Sometimes music touches you in some unexplained way...it's weird. But in my opinion, the music is a huge part of what makes a movie what it is. It is mainly what separates the lion king from the princess and the frog.
I love the animation of "The Lion King" but Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is what really pushes the film into greatness. If you've never heard it seperated from the visuals I suggest you do so. It's incredibly powerful and fraught with emotion. You don't need to see the battle with Scar, or see Simba ascending to the rock in triumph. The music makes you literally feel it.
oh my gosh! i always, always, always get shivers when i hear that first note with the sunrise bit. sooo powerful..takes u bak to ur childhood...def one of the bes disney openings.
Oh, very intresting video! :) The Lion king is The Best cartoon movie in the world for ever! :) And the songs is very beautifull, Elton John is a very talented! :)
Elton John and Tim Rice did a fantastic job with the songs! They made them true believiable! Tim Rice also did a good job helping Alan Menken finish the songs for Aladdin after Howard Ashman died in 1991.
Yep, the score is what's most amazing about this film and helps it deliver the feelings and moods to the viewers perfectly. Thumbs up to Hans Zimmer, Mark Mancina. Lebo M. and his choir for that.
Does anybody know where to find the making of Disney's the Lion King or Aladdin? There was a user who had all these "making of" Disney videos but I can't find the person!
The Making Of The Lion King was released on VHS in a limited edition BoxSet of The Lion King. It came out in 1995.
The Lion King was also released in a CAV LaserDisc boxset which contains The Making Of The Lion King on LaserDisc. I own the LaserDisc boxset and the DVD boxset. The DVD bonus features aren't as good as the laserdisc features.
Awesome, makes me proud to be South African! Yebo Lebo!! I think the lyrics are Zulu- at least, my Zulu teacher at school was able to translate them for me into English.
