nothing beats hand drawn animation. my kids aren't going to be watching the shit that my younger sisters had to grow up with. i shall use the wonders of the internet to download every good kids film i can think of then disconnect the sky box. by the power of greyskull my child shall watch the jungle book, and he shall enjoy it.
Its sad to see people my age and younger loose interest in quality movies, and especially this one. What they don't realize is that all of these earlier Disney movies had a heartfelt meaning to them, rather than the stupid new shows that had come along. I honestly think that disney is loosing its original taste. the last great movies they made were Princess and the Frog, and Tangled.
The memories of my time with and around this film remains fresh (I was 9). But to go from watching this vignette to seeing where I'm at now, well it blows my mind. Especially with my kids, this is their pinnacle childhood movie.
I remember going to see this with my family when it first came out, I was only 4 so I have only a very vague memory but it was the first movie I ever saw in theaters
We just almost worship that film, when it's first shown around 18yrs ago. Now me and my youngest brother have enjoying seeing it in our family room with all of our young nieces and nephews with complete amazement surrounded the time of the
LION KING's duration! That film, has a very special place in our hearts and souls. We were capable to transmit that chilling feelings to our new younger generation. They were so much overwhelmed and moved by this HISTORICAL piece of art! The recent box offi
@Jr2Video haha yea...my pops always laughs at me when i say that but...they way stuff changes honestly makes me feel like i been aroun for a lil while
couldn't they re release the Lion KIng Platinum Edition DVD again from 2003 i really really want it and when it was out at the time i didnt get a chance to get it and put the making of the Lion KIng features on the DVD and the next time they re release Lion King they should put more features of the whole Lion King cast especially Jonathan Taylor Thomas
my god, back in the day I had such a crush on Johnathan Taylor Thomas. I thought he was adorable. And when I found out later down the line that he voiced young Simba it made him even more awsome in my eyes.
@OldDisneychick161 I was 6 when it came out and hand-drawn movies were still the norm. It was a BIG deal! I'm glad it's still popular for younger people. :D
@MrBuch169169 same! I've been watching this movie since I was born and just found out last week that that was his voice all along :p like seriously...
I miss these days when they'd use celeb voices for a reason. It was all about "hey, he/she would be PERFECT for this character!" not "He/she would bring in more movie goers."
Aw, Johnathan Taylor Thomas is so adorable in this vid!
I remember seeing this movie in theaters. It was one of the very first films I ever saw on the big screen. It was also the first Broadway show I saw. The Lion King holds a very special place in my heart.
I loved this movie and i loved the broadway production!!! James Earl Jones is the right voice for mufasa! Great job, disney! I wish the films now were as magical as this one was!
Saw this movie at 6 or 7 then I had a phobia at 8. I went back to it at 13. When I was a freshman in High school, I didn't realize that it was based on Hamlet until now.
Did you know that there's going to be a 3D version of "The Lion King" coming to cinemas though Disney hasn't announced a release date yet when it comes out I'm so going to see it "The Lion King is my all time favourite movie.
