This is only a theory, but when Rafiki snatched the floating leaves and seeds from the air, he may have seen some fur when he examined them, and maybe smelled Simba's scent. By the way, 'Asante sana', which are the first words of Rafiki's chant, mean 'thank you' in Swahili. Mufasa couldn't defeat Scar because he wasn't expecting treachery. Simba, having experienced it, was better prepared for Scar's tricks. Warthogs are related to pigs. By the way, Pumbaa's line 'They call me Mr. Pig!' is inspired by Sidney Poitier's line 'They call me Mr. Tibbs!' in the film 'In the Heat of the Night' (1967).
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this movie, the scene where Simba finds Mufasa dead in the gorge always gets me in the heart. Especially the fact that Scar gaslights Simba into thinking it was his (Simba's) fault and Johnathan Taylor Thomas' line delivery. Also, I am very glad they cast James Earl Jones as Mufasa. As much as I respect the actor, they almost cast Christopher Walken. Side note: Some of the character's names have meanings translated out of Swahili Simba: Lion Nala: Gift Mufasa: King Sarabi: Mirage Rafiki: Friend Pumbaa: Slow-Witted Zazu: Movement Shenzi: Savage Banzai: Skulk or lurk Taka (Scar's original name): Waste Timon (His name actually comes from Greek): Respect or Honor
In Swahili simba actually means "lion" but it could also mean "king" too so his name is really fitting..... The stampede scene took three years to complete, half the team was on the east coast the rest on the west... And the fear in mufasa's eyes when on that cliff wasn't for himself it was for his son because he finally realized the true lengths at which his brother was willing to go and he also knew he'd no longer be there to protect his son.... When I was younger I was sick I had cancer and I was admitted once and we were told some special people were coming to say hello well guess who walked in the room none other then Matthew Brodrick ( voice of grown Simba) and Jonathan Taylor Thomas (young Simba speaking voice) we got autographs and plushies and pictures..... But because we were so sick the entire meeting had to happen with us in our sanitized bubble room... It's a memory I have and it's very vivid something I'll never forget!!
Gives me such joy to see others enjoying my favourite Disney film. I saw it first time around I was 10… this movie was HUGE when it came out and smashed loads of records and won so many awards. It was also the score that made me a life long fan of Hans Zimmer the composer. Absolutely loved it 30 years on!
Most of all Disney clásicc movies are all Musicals this movie came out at a time called the disney renaissance A time when Disney was in crisis and completely bankrupt since the founder of the company (Walt Disney)died back in 1967 The animators and people behind the studio no longer knew what else to do or create for the company since the mastermind behind everything had died so they began to release films that were mediocre and low quality at that time But today they are considered great clasics Disney movies to watch the movies were not generating enough profits at the box office and basically the public was already losing interest in Disney because they were no longer releasing good movies like when Walt was alive But not everything would last forever. In 1989, what would be the studio's rebirth began the animaters and new executives brought back the notion of making great movies again with deep stories and a good plot and the essence of all this was the musicals It was something very characteristic of previous Disney movies that had been lost after the crisis began back in the late 60, and 70s They decided to bring it back for this new era since they considered it to be something essential in the movies so people will connect with the protagonists and understand their motivations in the movies through music to make this story shorter, the first movie that came out of this era was The Little Mermaid. Back in 1989 It was all a success and a Hit for the studio winning all kinds of awards and nominations for good soundtrack, good animation, story, etc. With that the studio had already revived again so they began to release all kinds of successful films Beauty and the Beast in 1991 Aladdin in 1992 and then we came to 1994, which was when the Lion King came out, considered one of the most successful films of all time even to this day. this movie literally took Disney to the top in animation at that time The film has everything you would imagine , good story telling , good characters,good voice actors perfect Soundtracks Musicals score perfect animation etc..The Lion King was so successful when it came out back in 1994 Which was the highest-grossing movies in history and lasted for almost more than 20 years In that position until Disney Made frozzen tha came out in 2013... The Lion King is considered a classic that has been seen generation after generation and never gets old so just for the quality of the movie I feel like I don't have to say much. So don't feel bad because you all never saw it, believe me until today's, there are many people who still haven't seen the lion king yet And almost everyone knows something about what the movie is about 😂, but more or less I wanted to explain the story of Disney and the lion king since I notice that your"ll were a little confused and I wanted to explain a little in context.
A couple of Disney recommendations (in case you haven't watched these before) Some more awesome music: Tarzan Something with action: Mulan Something more mature/dark: The Hunchback of Notre Dame Something to make you laugh: The Emperors new Groove + Aladdin Something that pulls at your heartstrings: Brother Bear A true classic: Beauty and the Beast And a recommendation for a movie from Dreamworks: The Prince of Egypt
Your excitement at the end tells me you’d like the lion king 2! Very much made for tv but still very much an amazing sequel regardless. Would be a fun as heck reaction!
@@Stratelier nice to see a fellow appreciator! Also glad you commented because I just reread my own and realized I put “made for tv” and not “straight to video”. Both get not theatrical across but made for tv movies tend to be particularly bad so I was actually pretty insulting when I didn’t mean to be! Figured I should correct that.
Cape Buffalo is actually lions favorite food. They also happen to be the most deadly to kill and can easily kill a lion. Antelope is simply easier to take down
If you look closely, most of the lions are drawn with their claws retracted (compare Simba pouncing on Zazu, claws sheathed, to when he swiped Shenzi with claws out), but Scar is drawn with his claws ALWAYS out -- they are never sheathed. Based on the average lifespan of real lions, we could estimate Simba was chased out of the Pridelands somewhere between one and two years old, and spent maybe 2-3 more years in exile with Timon and Puumba. From the opening scene to its ending counterpart, the entire story probably spanned about 7 years' time.
Daaaang y'all cut out Mufasa's ghost scene, darn XD But honestly, this is definitely one of Disney's ABSOLUTE best movies!! Y'all should totally watch the sequel, Simba's Pride! It holds up!
First time watching you guys it was fun. All the movies for me in the Disney renaissance are awesome. I would say the next good one for you to watch would be Aladdin.
I loved you guys reaction to this! I hope you both do a reaction video on The Lion King 2 next! ❤❤ underrated and don't see a lot of people react to it!
Please watch “Kung Pow: Enter the Fist”. It is a supremely underrated movie, top tier hilarity in the abridged movie category. If y’all like nonsensical stupidity, it’ll be right up your alley.
I really think you need to understand cartoons better. theyre cartoons so anything can happen. youre getting angry at the movie. animals can co-exist in a cartoon. once you understand you may enjoy cartoons more. But i really enjoyed your reaction.
First movie reaction lets goo!! remember to like comment and subscribe !!
Another movie suggestion is The Hunchback of Notre Dame if you like classic Disney animated movies. It’s such an underrated film 😊❤️
I loved react! React to Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame too
You should watch Lion King 2: Simba's Pride now.
Big Hero 6
If you liked the music, you should watch Lion king hans Zimmer live world tour. So beautiful🥰

That has always been my theory since I first saw this movie! Plus I was just willing to chalk it up to folkloric type of shaman powers lol

Simba: Lion
Nala: Gift
Mufasa: King
Sarabi: Mirage
Rafiki: Friend
Pumbaa: Slow-Witted
Zazu: Movement
Shenzi: Savage
Banzai: Skulk or lurk
Taka (Scar's original name): Waste
Timon (His name actually comes from Greek): Respect or Honor
love the meaning behind some of these names !! Thanks 🙌🏾

Wow!! Never knew that! Thanks for the info :)❤🫂😊

If we ever meet someone that has not watched The Lion King we going to force them to watch it lool what a classic!! And thanks for the context 🙌🏾
This movie has a special place in my heart ❤ I’m glad I grew up with this movie!!
6:15
Quoting Simba: "Dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad..."
😅
27:34 I saw this in theaters when I was 7 and cried my eyes out and had nightmares for weeks that my dad was going to die 😭😭
even we had a bit of water in our eyes 😭
“That’s a squirrel” 😂 great reaction!
A couple of Disney recommendations (in case you haven't watched these before)
Some more awesome music: Tarzan
Something with action: Mulan
Something more mature/dark: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Something to make you laugh: The Emperors new Groove + Aladdin
Something that pulls at your heartstrings: Brother Bear
A true classic: Beauty and the Beast
And a recommendation for a movie from Dreamworks: The Prince of Egypt
Price of Egypt is top tier! I still love Mulan though!
Your excitement at the end tells me you’d like the lion king 2! Very much made for tv but still very much an amazing sequel regardless. Would be a fun as heck reaction!
Agreed! Yes, the original casts a long shadow over its sequel, there aren't near as many channels reacting to both movies.
@@Stratelier nice to see a fellow appreciator! Also glad you commented because I just reread my own and realized I put “made for tv” and not “straight to video”.

Lion King 2 pls
You two need to watch lion king part 2. Simba's pride❤❤❤❤❤
Sisi ni Moja
We are one
2:59 I still go ‘Awww…’
Brother Bear, The Fox and The Hound, Nimona, Balto! These four, please!!!!!
Happy 30th Anniversary To Disney's The Lion King (1994-2024) 🎬🎞🦁📽🎥
🥳
"They love to eat antelopes!" So, which one of you two wants a Red Bull? "I don't have to run quicker than a lion, just faster than you . . ." X3
Cape Buffalo is actually lions favorite food. They also happen to be the most deadly to kill and can easily kill a lion. Antelope is simply easier to take down
Gotta watch Lion King 2 Simba's Pride now surely
OG childhood memories ❤
When Nala and Simba Saw The Elephant graveyard Scar Wasn't kidding Scar was right The Elephant graveyard is a dreadful place
