I havent seen this movie since I was a little kid. I remember crying my little eyes out when Mufasa died. I just saw it on disney last night, and promised myself I wouldnt cry in front of my 3 year old niece....I made it all the way to the part where the baby giraffe walked into the sunlight before memories from my childhood started rushing through my mind. Its sad when a 3 year old can last through this movie longer than you can :/
I work at the Disney store and one of my co-workers went off 15 times during my break and it was the Lion King intro! It was 0:00-0:15 repeatedly, so awesome.
this part along with the rest of the movie was amazing. unfortunately Disney ruined it by turning it into one big fart joke in lion king 1 1/2. made me rage...
By the way, theres something about that title having a red font to it over a black background at the end, that once the song ends and that title appears, it has that instant-classic feel to it...ill even say, that...in a strange way, its pretty badass.
I cant believe I was sitting in a small theater with my family one day watching this in the early 90's...it stuck with me for so long that I demanded that we get the soundtrack from Toys R' Us lol (1st soundtrack I ever got)...so nostalgic that I couldn't resist seeing it again last week. The 3D was alright, and on a MUCH bigger screen since now we got stadium seating...it still doesn't compare to seeing it with my family for the 1st time.
This intro is so epic. I seriously have goosebumps. what makes it so majestic is that they didn't over stylize the animals! they made it truly gorgeous. animation just isn't that beautiful anymore. i miss you, classic disney!
im 27 and my friend is 24 and both i asses went to see it in 3D at the movies i almost cried during the intro, they dont do movies like this anymore disney needs to get back to its roots
there are twenty buffelo's in red dead redemption, if you shoot on down there are not any more coming, copy past this message to all red dead, GTA, Max payne, and other rockstar games movie's
I remember my first ever trip to Disney World was when this was their animated feature in production. They had storyboards/drawings and at the end you got to watch the intro in an adjoining theater. I was 8? Really great movie. I'll have to see it in the theater this time around if I have time!
When watching this i remember my childhood and how great it was to grow up with movies like this. Today i wouldn't like to see my children raised by shit like Hannah Montana or something ... cmon what happened?
Just imagine how iconic that sunrise and the Zulu words "Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba" in the very beginning of the film have become in our culture!!!!
This intro was also the first trailer (teaser) released for The Lion King. No footage from the movie, just this. I remember it blowing my family away.
I can't remember what movie we saw with it. Either The Three Musketeers or Jurassic Park.
I love that kind of music but i dont know how is it called from minute 0:00 to 0:50 can some one help it is like a african music or somenthing please help.
Sinple Google Search on "Circle of Life" Lyrics reveals... Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place] [Chant repeats] From the day we arrive on the planet...
I grew up and all but I still don't know wot language was used on the baaaaaaaaah sooowhenyaaaaaah mamabeatsebabahhhhh part :))) does anyone know? :)))
This was back when people actually put effort into animation instead of relying on CGI for EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. Don't get me wrong, CGI has its place, but I doubt it will ever have the same charm and beauty of truely decent animation like this.
@Scotttjt i 1000000000000% agree with you!!!! while we grew up with this the future gererations will grow up with fkn simpsons family guy and ren and stimpy and all that shit.
