[Pcesco27]

"I told the elephants to forget it (sigh), but they can't" haha

[pebble37lifter]

awesome quality

[ichigoandrukia999]

Can someone tell me how to find the theatrical version on the Lion King DVD...I cant find it? All I can watch is the one with morning report...

[ByakuganRaven123]

I had the original copy of the lion king without the morning report song, but then my VCR wrecked it

[animalsfun]

if you want i could post a copy with a more clear image and give you credit if you want! ty for putting this up

[Digitalerfreak]

is this in the german version too?

[kylgrv]

This scene is funny.

[LRFC09]

Is this the original version?! SUGEEEEE!

[ellu96]

I'm very confused now... Is the "morning report" song in the dvd officially or is it just in the extras?

And the song can't really be done before this scene, because you can see how the animation style changes in parts that were redone... oh well

[Simbaholic]

It's officially in the DVD, but you can choose which version of the film to watch: the special edition or the original theatrical release.

Oh yeah! It is different. So is Simba's voice, because they had to use a different actor.

[shesafirefly]

it was added it was like this originally

which is lame b/c this part is way better this way

[CutehBunneh]

@ellu96 this was the old version... the new one has the morning report song and simba trying to catch a gopher, while in the old one he tries to catch a grasshopper...

hope that helped! :3

[RionKingu]

I wish they didn't change it, and just added the Morning Report song in the extras instead =/

[shesafirefly]

yeah it was dumb

[thebigj3]

[coynie3]

love the pounching lesson, so much more funnier than the morning report

[CountJames007]

in the new one have they redubbed the whole of the film?? :O lion king was the best!!!! :)

[Simbaholic]

No, they haven't redubbed the whole film. They've just added a new song with weird voices, that's all.

[manufan1999]

I never realised that here Zazu is just using a bunch of animal stereotypes, the buzz from the bees, cheaters never prosper, I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't. I have now realised that this was my first exposure to Rowan Atkinson in films. Just like George of the Jungle gave me John Cleese for the first time.

[Zazuthehornbill]

LOL Zazu can make "Cheetahs" sound like "Cheaters" XD

[ChristianBalefan91]

Why did they remove this? I really liked this. The morning report song sucked anyways.

[MyMirandaWorld]

@ChristianBalefan91 they changed it to morning report as it was in the theatrical version and it was such a hit and every one loved it they changed the pouncing lesson to morning report in the special edition dvd. Personally I quite like the song but I can see where your coming from they should have kept the original scene

[SuperDeedee11]

@ChristianBalefan91 They didn't remove it, it was added on so that it would be more of a fun singing bit, plus this is the first time Simba gets to sing before "I just can't wait to be king" So thats why so many people like it. Most of them think this one is boring anyway. I think it is to. It just doesn't think have the Simba spirit.

[zodiacgirl01]

what are you telling him mufasa

mufasa

ahh

[absolvscharizard]

I like this one because Zazu says "This is so humiliating" while in the new one, Zazu is more of a joke character.

[Sitaliea]

they were so mean to him when simba was little

[apemannen01]

i kinda  like this one better then song because the song is abit too much :P

[crazy4gymnastics4224]

i agree. the song is lame. That's why they took it out.

[wowxmaryx3]

it's good.

but still the morning report song has been stuck in my head all week... my friends are mad when i randomly begin singing it...

[fireboy0333]

good vid

[alchemyfarie]

this version is WAY beter ^^

[izzy24601]

LOL

[animalover177]

what was that from?

i have never seen that b4

[rentheadangelcollins]

That is what it used to be before they re-released the Lion King on DVD...Quite frankly...I like this version MUCH better for two reasons...Zazu's reaction, and the fact that this is how it always was before they sudden'y had the mind to change the classic...I mean, I like the song, but it should have stayed in the Broadway performance, as far as I'm concerned...

[snoozertheham]

I agree completely, Zazu to me always seemed like a grumpy old rule following bird. And his character was awesome because of that! It made it ever more fun when Simba and Nala tricked him. The new one is out of character and just plain strange. Leave the classics as they are =3

[gigametroid99]

Actually, they had the Morning Report song first. They ended up cutting it for whatever reason, and replaced it with this scene, but included it in the Broadway version. Then they animated the scene, probably based on the early storyboards, and then put it into the Special Edition version.

[StrickenRecord]

As good as the song in the new version is, I prefer this one simply for Zazu's reaction after realizing he's the target in the pouncing lesson. XD

[megadisneyfan]

great

[mcandhsmfan1]

luv it

[jimmyestrees]

i thought the song was asome in the new one u all have 2 addmit u propaly would like 2 know what simba did in his child hood b4 mufgasa dies

[Simpleplan016]

this version is better than the sung one..!

[moldymolly]

I prefer this one. You have to pay more attention to get the puns.

[Adelaide14]

wonferful that this is the old version! the song is awful...This is just great!

[ivgabriel]

yeah.. agreed.. the new version sux..

[Kiara676767]

hahhahahhahahahahahahaah(con.)­

[calicarman]

Mufasa signalled Zazu to turn around then simba pounces.

[frankm89]

Mufasa: Zazu, could you turn around?

Zazu: Yes sire *continues talking* What's going on?

Mufasa: A pouncing lesson.

Zazu: Oh, very good, pouncing. POUNCING! Oh, sire you can't be serious... oh this is so humiliating.

HILARIOUS!

[HollyMayWright]

@frankm89 you missed out the word no inbetween oh and sire :) just thought you'd like to know :)

[SummerBayJournal]

SO much better than the song version

[raptersarecool]

I agree, although the song is pretty cool in and of itself, it just shouldn't have messed with this scene.

[Simbaholic]

I don't really care. I think it's pretty funny in the special edition when Zazu pecks Simba on the head and then Simba flings him.

[raptersarecool]

Yes, it was a good scene, despite what it messed with. I guess it's just hard to mess with anything in this movie. But if something had to, the song did a respectable job.
