Don't mind the if

[victoriajustice019]

If Attention all lion king fans this message is passed on by the actor who played simba! So we need to get the word out about this wonderful musical! Copy and paste this on at least 10 videos and get a chance to win a pair of tickets to their next show hurry!

I understand the parts that were originally in English being translated in Japanese, but why are the Zulu portions changed too? Takes away from the authenticity of the musical

[marleylove05]

[migencluz]

[SuperZalex]

This was really weird, and awesome!

[DennyJohnny]

The Japanese version is an epic fail.. They should use more African actors and singers.. not Japanese!

@DennyJohnny ikr

[shamwow56]

@DennyJohnny I know this comment was 9 months ago, but just a quick question. How often do you see an African in Japan?

[DennyJohnny]

@shamwow56 The actors in the lion king in Germany, Holland, France etc. also come from africa.

So why cant Lion King Japan import actors from Africa and America?

[shamwow56]

@DennyJohnny Do you realize how hard it is to learn Japanese?!?!?!?! That is one complicated language! You can't just import actors and say "LEARN JAPANESE!" I doubt you can find many Africans who can speak the language.

[DennyJohnny]

@shamwow56 But its quite the same with the actors in Germany. GERMAN is a hard language too.. did you ever try to learn German?? And we Africans are very gifted in languages.

Speaking 3-4 languages is normal for an African person.

[shamwow56]

@DennyJohnny Dude, in general besides the Japanese themselves, you aren't going to find many people who can speak the language. And i'm talking about Japanese not German.

[rosebloodfaerie]

omg. I think the japanese made it even more epic that it already is!! I love this show ^.^

[bc503x]

[TwinsisterWendy]

Disney never releases its musicals on dvd.
