Be Prepared - The Lion King (1995)

[mozzajunior]

Jeremy Irons ftw!

[ForSanity]

disney was more mature than some jersey shore and twilight shit today...

[neuroticpsyc83]

Jeremy Irons is amazing as Scar! His voice is vicious and demented!

[Ygdrasel]

@neuroticpsyc83

Jim Cummings was good too.

[voiceofbooks]

Ah those were the days.

Disney movies were epic and lions were earth benders.

[thingamathing1]

This movie makes me want to learn swahili. I hope I will someday.

[TehOrangeCougar]

Nostalgic Critic: The song is evil, the greenish glow soon turns hellish red, and hell! What? He turns them into the fuckin 3rd Reich!

[SombreroKing100]

Pretend Scar is Hitler

and pretend the Heyenas are a majoirty of the german people post WW1

[MercerCute]

[MsCiccina17]

this was our HD cartoons years ago.. =[

[leesiluvzmjj2009]

This is my favorite Disney Villain song..lol..

[fmh654]

i like the way he says century so posh

[fucktheblackkids]

2:08 good god! nazi hyenas

[MISSCYNDIA754LOVER]

then i one and a half pumba and timone just sneak away, and i have a felling i spelt timone wrong

[mockingofthebird]

only 5 dislikes. amazing!

[taylorswiftrocks1310]

I always thought he had just those three heyenas!!! What the heck!?

[xAlyssaJones37]

@taylorswiftrocks1310 there's a shit ton of hyenas at the end too

[taylorswiftrocks1310]

lol "SenSAtional! news" Funny voice....

[OtakuFangirlZ]

@AwesomeDude808 Mr.Krabbs!

[Crazy4Corgi27]

@OtakuFangirl - Scar's name before he go his Scar was Taka, it means dirt/garbage in Swahili...

[Crazy4Corgi27]

@xXSnowflakezXx - Kovu wasnt born with a scar, Zira gave it to him when he betrayed her. Scar got his scar from a water buffalo. :)

[aj97eo9]

nazifying a race (animal version) lol

[OtakuFangirlZ]

@MasalaPirate  LOL

[michaeljacksonlov6]

i love scar's voice

[Supernannykilla]

fun fact: at 2:17 Jeremy Irons voice gave out so they handed the song over to Jim Cummings. And instead of rerecording the song entirely he just finished the rest of the song. Now notice how you didn't even notice the difference between the two

[90geekgirl06]

@Supernannykilla no, not unless you're looking for the change. and there is a very slight change.

[OtakuFangirlZ]

@xXSnowflakezXx Like a birthmark?

[UsagiDreamsReturns]

I wonder how different Scar's voice would be if Alan Rickman had agreed to play the role instead of saying no....

[completelossofwords]

damn i wish there were smoke and intense music everytime i sang......

[lions4life2]

Scar turns me on! 

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of Lion King!

[OtakuFangirlZ]

What was scars name before he got the scar?

[xXSnowflakezXx]

@OtakuFangirlZ I think he was born with it like Kovu... :)

[UsagiDreamsReturns]

@OtakuFangirlZ His name was Taka. Apparently he got the scar from being attacked by a herd of buffaloes, and requested to be called "Scar" in reminder of how he had foolishly allowed his anger to get the better of him (and thus anger the buffaloes).

[MasalaPirate]

[Griffanswing626]

@OtakuFangirlZ Prince Taka

[RexGladius]

@OtakuFangirlZ Apparently his real name is Taka. Source from Yahoo Answers and the Disney Wiki.

[Altoclarinets]

@OtakuFangirlZ Taka

[TheCharlied14]

Everyone in the pride lands: Hey look! Scar's having a rave in the outlands!

[BlackandWhite947]

@Hakrammagdans not as sick as Scar!!!

[ReinventingTheWorlds]

Scar's evil :(

[BlackandWhite947]

Jeremy Irons, I know how you feel...During play practice, I lost my voice and couldn't sing..Since then, my voice hasn't been the same. But I can almost sing like Kiara/Anastasia :) and Rapunzel...but I'm losing my voice again :(

[WhiteFalcon534]

It sounds like it's in a higher key...

[Tusindskridt]

hey it looks like the ground beneath our feet is breaking up under volcaninc activivty. What ever shall we do. I know, lets keep singing.

[WhiteTwilightWolf]

Leave it to Disney to make the Hyenas march like Nazis. I mean I love the song and Loin King is my favorite movie... It's just, Why would they do that?

[craftingkitten]

in case you were wondering, scar's name was Taka, and the reason he looks nothing like mufasa was because he wasnt supposed to be related until they decided to make it more emotionally scarring (excuse the pun).

[craftingkitten]

whoa look 5 morons! how do you hate lion king?

[itachimistress]

I know it shouldn't be...but the goose-stepping hyenas are my favorite part... 

[Megg28Megg]

@kayleighcolfer: Taka. :)

[Jerseyqueens4]

OMG when they did this on Broadway I like friggin cried and im 15 it was so scary

[rainsbunny12]

Tanka or sumtin

[kayleighcolfer]

What was Scar's name before he got the scar?

[kayleighcolfer]

The hyenas are hilarious!

[kayleighcolfer]

My favorite villain!!! I didn't understand the Nazi marching hyenas until I was about 9.

[2wingo]

My Jewish grandfather grew up in Nazi Germany. When he took me to see this movie, he froze up during this scene, and didn't say a word for the rest of the day. It wasn't until a year or so later that I learned why.

[wolfpackr552]

@2wingo It hit me like a ton of bricks when I finally figured out what it was.

[Jonsa1337]

Remember this as a child, amazed and a blir scared. Best ever.

[SusayyQ]

Disney movies now suck

[InfernoAngel147]

@SusayyQ I appreciate you for being blatant and not one of those "do you remember" people.

[harold3456]

@SusayyQ saw Tangled with my girlfriend in theatres last year. I actually rather liked it, which says a lot for it since I was an 18 year old male who never watched cartoons.

[mightymop19]

@SusayyQ Tangled was amazing. Why is that EVERY video of material from 2000s is just loaded with laments of the good old days, where everything was fantastic and modern day music, movies, art, characters etc. pale in comparison. Lion King was brilliant, and Disney continues to be brilliant.

[mightymop19]

@mightymop19 *before 2000s

[Ygdrasel]

@mightymop19

Brilliant? No. Their 2D projects have ranged from shit to pretty good in recent years. Never hit "brilliant" again. For my part, I think they either need to keep going with 2D until they reach brilliance again, or stick with the "2D disguised as 3D" approach from Tangled. That film just looks amazing, and actually is brilliant.

[mightymop19]

@Ygdrasel The stuff that was once brilliant maintains its brilliance. And you just said they never hit brilliant again but Tangled was brilliant? I am confused

[Ygdrasel]

@mightymop19

No shit, Sherlock. But once being brilliant doesn't mean they still are.

Tangled was 3D. None of their 2D work (what Disney is known for and expected to excel at) has been brilliant in a long time.

[psymaster1234]

Oh look Nazi hyenas .

[NCISLizzo3]

@psymaster1234 Goose-stepping hyenas. It was intentional, we know that, especially from the way that Scar is stand on that ledge watching the hyenas march. Heil Scar!

That's a joke!

[MetalGearDragoon]

Scar: So badass he turns squabbling hyenas into the third F***ing rich.

[gabbyisbest]

The best Disney villain and his voice is perfect

[YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE]

this is jeremy irons right? i can tell XD

[Gimm1ck]

@YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE Jeremy does the voice but someone else does the singing =P

[90geekgirl06]

@Gimm1ck Actually Jeremy Irons did most of the song, but Jim Cummings had to come in during the middle of it. Right after the line "YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!" is the transition from Irons to Cummings. A really fantastic example of mad voice acting skills.

[Gimm1ck]

@90geekgirl06 ok thanks for clearing that up =D

[YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE]

one of the last great disney movies. after this it just sucks. they tried with the princess & the frog but failed big time.

[BedfordMulesSports58]

On the title you put that it came out in '95. It was 1994

[gjdfluffy]

does anyone else think that 2:06 is an allusion to Nazi Germany?

[hamburger055]

@gjdfluffy yeh it definitely is i rekon..its exactly how the nazis used 2 march

[Mordrenze]

@gjdfluffy the speech is also similar to hitler's, "stick with me and you ill never be hungry again" that sounds like that Hitler said to the german people to gain trust and popularity.

[Urchie2009]

This song is awesome, though I admit I never clocked it was Jim Cummings singing parts of this until someone mentioned it. How I never noticed THAT in the final parts of the song I'll never know...

[lyrathehumangodzilla]

this is why young male lions boot elderly lions out of the pride. no offense.

[griffdog141]

1:22. skyrim helmet.

[ReyesX77]

Amazingly enough the guy who played scar's voice lost his voice mid way through this song, so another guy had to come to sing for him

[TwilightAddict247]

2:20 Poor, poor hyena

[Bexilulz]

They're fat Hyenas!

[thabaddestof01]

wow this movie came out when i was 3 im 19 now! and it's still awesome

[ElysiaIndigo]

0:57 Scar , PLEASE! control yourself! this is Disney! Not any of those magazines you're apparently starring in.

[kairi91293]

hyena's are Nazi's, who knew?

[Joy6168]

I remember cheering on simba when he fought scar.

I remember booing at Ursela when she took Arieal's voice.

I remember fighting the Huns with Mulan.

I remember the wind through my hair, running by Pocahontas.

I remember being locked in the Beast's castle.

I remember laughing and having fun with Mickey and his friends.

I don't remember watching teen drama on stupid disney channel

Copy and paste this to all your favorite Disney Videos and let's start a revolution.

W. Disney forever

[TheHouseOffice]

Those fucking Hyenas I swear to god..

[herpnderpful]

Nazi Hyenas!!!!!!

[NCISLizzo3]

@herpnderpful Goosestepping Hyenas!!!!!!!

[puttings]

It doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned it, so here goes:

Jeremy Irons is the voice of Scar. My #1 fav actor, simply due to his amazingly villainesque voice!

[TheKahuna70]

the hyena look like nazi

[puttings]

@TheKahuna70 Well, yes, that's the point ;)

[LegosRock223]

@TheKahuna70 u just realized

[vintagepixiedust]

stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!!!!! Lies!

[DellDuckfan313]

Scar or no Scar, the hyenas seem kinda doomed whatever they do.

[qwexas]

Is one of the hyenas voiced by Cheech Marin from Cheech & Chong? It sounded like him, and I'm pretty sure he voiced a dog on Oliver & Company.

[MattBOrange]

@qwexas you are quite correct, good friend, Cheech Marin plays a lot of disney voices. one of the hyenas in this movie, Tito the Chihuahua from oliver and company, and Ramone the Low Rider from Cars, to name just a few.

[Metalunited101]

This movie came out on June 15 1994 This movie is a classic!

[HamJeong]

Scar is so fabulous

[XxLiyahSoFweshxX]

Mufasaaaaaa!

Ooooooo...say it again!

[xX99SilentShadowsXx]

you are defintlly a wonder scar.

[lilydoraloveshpdrwho]

hehe i ramdomly shouted be prepared the other day and today i finally remembered where its from, i havnt heard this in YEARS :/ i need to watch this again. i might go raid my nieces dvds, she ALWAYS has the best dvds :)

[lilydoraloveshpdrwho]

@lilydoraloveshpdrwho hmmm some of these lines are used in the school production! just a few! but wow, i just realized that... my school is cool :)

[JKNIP15]

@NCISLizzo3 He is partially correct. Irons' voice is used for the song. But they also used Jim Cummings' voice when Irons' voice gave out.

[Deadpool381]

scar was voiced by two different people in this song first it was his normal voice actor then when things start to turn red he is voiced by someone else

[NCISLizzo3]

@Deadpool381 Where did you get that information? It's Jeremy Irons all the way through the song!

[AnubForever]

Scar was the sexiest Disney villian of all time.

[charleechafiare90]

smh...plotting to kill his own brother.....scar wasn't shit

[AnimeBarbic]

One of my favorite Disney songs. Though, I wish the soundtrack version included that awesome echo on the line: "yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared"

[k4z3n0k1zu]

One of the best Disney songs ever.

[StubbyButtons]

i fudging love Scar.... infact we're quite similar- we're both surrounded by IDIOTS!

[Darkinu2]

At least now I know wtf the lyrics are XD

[1ranjeeves21]

is it just me or does this remind anyone of hitler?

[NCISLizzo3]

@1ranjeeves21 It's not just you. I've noticed this since I was little.

[swampgirljessie]

hyena:yeah be prepred we'll be prepared..for what?

scar:for the death of the king

hyena:why is he sick?

scar:no fool we're going to kill him and simba too

XD dumb hyena

[nibblesfan]

No king, no king, la-la-lala! XD that would be me!!!!!!!!!

[Cloudandis]

HYENAS <3 I lvoe those three lil furballs no matter how clueless they were x3

[Ofir84]

Jeremy Irons rules!

[GabriellaKate339]

The hyena's march is so weird. It cracks me up every time I see it!

[bumbatumba]

for a cartoon cat, scar is very sexy

[Ofir84]

@bumbatumba

Furry spotted!

[tompats00]

Major Props to Jeremy Irons, he went ALL OUT with this. Blew out his vocal chords during "YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!"

Plus, his voice makes this character. Nobody else could do it like him.

[TisebasAN]

he was a bitch!!!

[cianandseans]

Scar=Hitler lol



[2345Pikachu]

@cianandseans after reading this im liking it :3

[ShannonMoran11]

its all time adore mate

[TheValiantBob]

am i the only one that hears, "It's great that we'll soon be connected, to the king who'll be all time a dork!"

[PalerLaze]

Simba, Nala, Pumba, and Timone disliked the video

[360Nomad]

1:30 Hyena should've said DOWN WITH THE CROWN AND UP WITH THE VOTE!!!

[sarmdl]

best disney villain song ever!

[rosie32ify]

i wish my marchin band could march as good as the hyenas

[downsidebrian]

Back when disney was good and lions were earthbenders

[ppp9922]

@downsidebrian

haha love the reference



[Isabellustration]

WHO? WHO? WHO? HOO!

I just tried to post the comment, had to refresh :D But the word I had to type in was "nionalas" :D Like "Neo-Nalas?" :DDD

[TheMasterOfLols]

that was creepy! i forgot this song and when i watched it i made me jump at 1:47 because all these hyenas just come out of nowhere, scared me! :)

[yukiNmori]

lion version of kyoya outari

[phantomess120]

nazi hyenas 1:48!

[FlyingHotdog125]

"Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again". Sound familiar?

[Leogirl978]

This is so much fun to do in ballet

[RikMayallAddict]

Read somewhere a few months ago that at 2:21 it switches actors, from Jeremy Irons to Jim Cummings, because Jeremy lost his voice after yelling 'You won't get a sniff without me!' True? If so, the change is almost non-existent.

[123FishCrazy]

@RikMayallAddict I didn't really notice the change either. I read comments on other videos about how they shouldn't have changed voice actors in the middle because you can tell, but I don't think so! It's still a great song. :P

[DaughterofRaistlin]

@RikMayallAddict

now that I paid super close attention the second guy is a bit more gruff and not as prjecting but yeah not a huge difference.... I had to REALLY listen and hey it could just be me, or it could be after he (the original singer) yelled he was still kinda trying to get re-control over his voice :p

[PurpleAndYellow10]

When he says "no fool we're going to kill him" he sounds EXACTLY like Severus Snape. Am I right? Am I right?

[Gene616Fan99]

Scar can't sing... But man he was one heck of a villain! :D

[FoXMaSteR001]

I especialy like the color, start poison green, than yellow, than red and blue at the end :D

[studentsof2010]

All old Disney movies had some of the best background music!

[MellyMusicIsMyLife]

saw this in 3D yesterday, and I was laughing at Ed's facial expressions the entire time <3 ahaha

[deyyhco15]

"For the death of the king!"

"Why's he sick?"

bahahahaha i crack up everytime

[kermitthefrog512]

just came back from the lion king 3d and i have this stuck in my head! like if you do!

[1seniorpepe1]

@CanIbeascoolasShaggy, what second? I wanna see it

[MsRangerbaby]

@HopeCullahan i only say that cause its shows them eating other animals, and killing eachother... i like this movie, but for a kids movie it is morbid

[HopeCullahan]

@MsRangerbaby But kids HAVE TO learn about the circle of life. It's completely healthy to know how the food chain is like in the planet they live in... On the other hand, it is not healthy being ignorant..

[percyluver4ever]

Love it! Like Gusto in Beauty and the Beast or Ursula from The Little Mermaid...villains clearly have the most fun in the songs...I would SO be a villain! I always wanted to voice a character. <3

[CanIbeascoolasShaggy]

Anyone noticed Scar's NAZI EAGLE SHADOW?

[Oesterreich1156]

@PDMalachai

that's the FOURTH REICH !

ENGLISH DICTATORIAL REPUBLIC !

Lord Protector Scar !

heil scar,

[derickb2]

hm.... does this remind anyone else of hitler and his nazi's

[Slash0mega]

@derickb2 yes, because disney based this scene off nazi propaganda

[derickb2]

hm.... does this remind anyone else of hitler and his nazi's
