@@collinscott1052 If you're talking about old fairy tales, then I agree. But Kimba wasn't an old fairy tale. Something, something corporate IP copyright law. etc.
7:49 It was revealed that Scar's name, before he got the scar, was Taka. Taka means garbage. So, naming your children King (Mufasa) and Garbage (Taka) kinda makes a kid wanna change his name.
I think Mufasa's death was worse than Bambi's mom. Bambi's mom's death happened off screen. We actually saw Mufasa fall *in slow motion* into the stampede below.
as a kid, I didn't realize that he died at first. I saw him fall, but cats land on their feet. A stampede didn't mean anything to me. In retrospect, his death is pretty horrifying. I was just sad and confused as a kid.
Situation for foreign secretary.. So that when the military commanders tell the president that they "have a situation in the middle east" they can mean it literally. :S
I would love to see that too! I guess there might be a sliver of a chance to get him since they did get Ryan Reynolds who's a fan of Honest Trailers and both Jackman & Reynolds are pretty cool dudes who love to interact with fans so maybe at some point he might be interested, who knows.
This director doesn't get enough credit as he should do, he directed one of the greatest animated films of all time, if not THE greatest...oh and Stuart Little.
Jackeroose98 Agreed. He made a film that's arguably better than anything Hayao Miyazaki has ever made. There's no animated film better than The Lion King imo.
Jake G 2187 I will admit, I am a little triggered, because Hayao Miyasaki has made some damn fine movies in his career, Spirited Away is one of my all time favourite films since I was pretty young, but The Lion King is still a phenomenal masterpiece.
Jackeroose98 Lol Sorry if I triggered you. I LOVE Spirited Away as well. It's my 6th favorite film of all time. That's in general, not just animated. But The Lion King just has this aura about it. When Mufasa confronts Simba late in the film and tells him he is more than what he's become, I get this feeling inside that I've never felt before. The score, the beautiful visuals, the powerful voice acting by James Earl Jones. It's like the stars all aligned to make the most perfect scene. I'm always transfixed by the stars and background when I watch The Lion King. The atmosphere just takes me over. The Lion King is with out a doubt my favorite film of all time.
They'll always deny it. Even when they changed one freaking letter to make it Simba. Great movie, but at least they should be big enough to admit the origins.
"Look, there goes a lion (yes there's a lion, a lion)" or something to that effect. Which is the funniest thing, and makes sense now that we know he only had what the director told him the movie was about to go off.
Besides being my absolutely favorite Honest Trailer, this dialogue with the director, Rob Minkoff, there in person taking it all in a humorous way was so good. Great job to the Honest Trailer guys and what a good sport Rob Minkoff was. The Lion King has stood the test of time. That is truly the sign of an incredible movie.
Yes!! And as a kid,one thing that bothered the fuck out of me was...Hakuna matata does NOT mean...no worries!! It means...NO TROUBLE!!! which they could've just said.the music would've been the same!
MrQuickshot117 That was legitimately in my top 3 fav Disney movies when I was a kid. It is very imaginative and has a sense of wonder and exploration to it that no other movie can quite match.
Vinnie was my all time favorite character in that movie. "Fuses, wicks, glue, and...paper clips, big ones. You know just, eh, office supplies." "BOOM! No more Chinese Laundry." *Bridge blows up: "Okay, now you can go." Milo: "Great, well do you have any suggestions!?" Vinnie: "Yeah, don't get shot!"
Everything wrong with..... is CinemaSins this is Screen Junkies who do honest trailers i'll admit they are similar in what they do but different channels non the less.
yeah, he should definitely be proud of having made this movie what it is and with soul the message, and I would definitely like him to be back in another The Lion King project, if possible
- There's a book that speaks of Mufasa and Scar as youngs. It's called "The Lion King: A Tale of Two Brothers", it's written by Alex Simmons - It would be cool and different to see Mufasa and Scar as kids in a movie

The top three sad parent child moments are No.1 Littlefoots mother getting ripped apart and killed and nearly eaten on screen and saying her last words to her son. No2 Dumbo having a mother that can barely touch, see or hold him do to her being locked up. No.3 simba seeing his father fall to his death and having to feel its his fault.
MyOpinion DontDis It's actually a series called the Land Before Time. It's aimed towards young children and follows the story of a young brontosaurus (?) named Littlefoot. I believe that scene happens in the first episode. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I've seen it.
Mike0908 no you're right, I was teen by the time they announced the first "sequel", too old to be objective on comparisons, they just seemed boring but I still can watch the first one, beautiful.
Fully agreed, but I can on the other hand fully subscribe to the notion that for some it is the weakest of all those songs, because the other songs are also fantastic!
lol, that wasn't written by the original staff, but by independently contracted children's book writers that Disney hired--likely through 3rd party publishing. That's why they didn't include any of that material in the later adaptations. It's not cannon.
Scar actually gave himself that name when he was a kid, according to one of the Lion King books Disney put out. Even back then he was super salty that his father preferred Mufasa over him, so he tried to make his brother get into a fight with a giant water buffalo. Things went wrong, the buffalo charged at him, he had to be rescued by Mufasa, and he got that scar. So, he changed his name so as to always remember that day (...as if the scar wasn't enough)
CidGuerreiro1234 Directing one of the most memorable animated films could certainly give someone quite the ego boost too. Had that happened, his reaction to the Honest Trailer could have gone horribly. Thankfully he did have a great sense of humor, lol.
Kristoffer Butler ok I just watched the first bit and I already recognize the story, I've known it forever and I love it (it's in the Quran too :p) I'm gonna watch the rest now, but it's not following it exactly, a bit changed to make a cooler story and I don't mind :p
If you enjoy it (which I think you will because people of all faiths and those that don't have one enjoy it), then I'm glad I pointed you in its direction.
SalmaX33 SalmaX33 I hope you like it! It's by far my favourite movie based on a religious story; usually, the writers/directors simplify the story and characters to the point that no one acts like real people (because being a true believer means you never make mistakes or stress about what path to take, right? Right?), but this movie makes the people relatable and their actions understandable. Also, the music is quite good. :) Now you have me curious about how similar the versions of the story are between the Old Testament and the Quran... To Google!
@screenjunkies just a note to the director, the language in the "circle of life " is NOT Swahili. "Hakuna matata" and various of the character names are, but not the song. As a Tanzanian I feel that needed to be made clear.
brother lions actually rule a pride together. most commonly it is 2 brothers that rule together however it is not uncommon to see 4 or even 5 brothers together.
At Mufasa's death, "do you want to apologize?" I would answer no, because in his shoes, I'd be responsible for making all of you grow up ;) Tough love, man. We grow around pain. I think stories with loss like this really build us.
Allen Douangchak the honest trailer for the first Twilight film starts with "from one of the shittiest authors of all time"... so maybe inviting her wouldn't be such a good idea haha
Why don't Disney remake emperor new groove , treasure planet etc. Why remake movies that have done well . its like disney is showing off its budget and technology
I'm surprised that Rob doesn't know the translation of "Nants Ingonyama." It is as follows: "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 IngonyamaSiyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place][Chant repeats]" Edit: The chant is Zulu, not Swahili.
"Nants Ingonyama" is Zulu. Also, as far as I know, TLK is the first ever Disney film to be totally dubbed in Zulu. Ingonyama is Zulu for Lion. Here is an interesting Quora answer on the chant. This person says that, in this context, it's no ordinary lion, as "Ingonyama" is used to refer to a Zulu king. Also, only royals can wear leopard print (www.quora.com/What-are-the-lyrics-of-the-Lion-King-introduction-What-do-they-mean/answer/David-Barnes-76?srid=RjQl).
I know, but the songs, as far as I know, contain Zulu lyrics, while most of the character's names are Swahili (Mufasa = king, Simba = lion, Sarabi = Mirage, Pumbaa = Simple Minded...).
His name suggests that he often protests people wearing furs... But yeah, he co-directed this at 32? Crap... Time to do something with my life, I guess..
lol, really the stories themselves are nothing alike if you've watched both movies (and the Kimba series). The key similarities are some of the character designs and screen shot concepts. He probably said "I gotta go" because people are so triggered by it that it's sparked online battles. So yeah, that's a pretty funny reaction in that regard.
we did a play about Lion King and it has been a memory to be truly remembered. All the songs make my heart fill with joy. Oh, how I miss the times! I played as Banzai haha
In Swahili, as a verb it means to "want" or "wish", while as a noun it means "waste"--as in trash. This is established in a short barely cannonical book "The Six New Adventures of The Lion King." But a lot of people accept this as cannon. In a way, Scar's real name is also a really mean nickname.
Man, I think My Lullaby from the lion king 2 is one of my favorites from the trilogy, I just love Zira's voice and the melody is just really nice. From the original movie, I like the ending song a lot. I don't really remember how it's called (might be a reprise of circle of life actually), but again the melody is awesome. For 1 1/2 anything with Timon singing is hilarious.
I was 2 years old when this movie was released on vhs, and i learned how to rewind a vcr with this movie, and after my 52nd time watching this movie the vcr ate the lion king, and i cried for 2 days until i got a new copy, and now i get a copy of the movie every time it gets re-released.
In canonical Lion King books it said that Scar had a much more normal name similar to Mufasa’s (I can’t remember it exactly) and he chose to be called Scar as a reminder of his failure as he attempted to get Mufasa killed but the plan backfired and gave him hi scar
Be Prepared was my favorite song 😏. The whole soundtrack was amazing for this movie. Oh and Mufasa's death scarred me as a child lol (I saw it when it was new, in theaters).
That would be really weird to have worked on The Lion King. Everybody sees it as a classic, but for Rob Minkoff, he's seen it in production from start to finish.
I believe they were talking about how all those movies didn’t do well in the box office. Almost all the movies shown in that second are I love but a few bad choices mixed with bad luck made it hard for them to make a little more money with those movies. Hence it being the downfall...
Oh my God. It WASN'T Taka. I would've thought this very interview would have finally made people realize that it was NOT Taka. I mean, _if it was_ then this director right here in this freakin' video interview would have _said_ so - as he was clearly and directly asked what was Scar's real name!! He did not say it's Taka. Therefore it was never Taka. Pay. Attention.
Jesus christ Rob Minkoff is one charismatic bastard. Awesome voice, awesome clothing style, handsome charming dude who just so happened to direct one of the best movies of all time. Well freaking done
*you want to go little further than what been done before* has this guy not seen *the land before time* that movie came out in 86 or 87 I forget but I know it was before *lion king* that movie had littlefoot depressed and sad and his mom even came back in a spirit form to tell him how to get to the great Valley
To be fair, mufasa is a Lion who only knows the world as he has seen it. So he believes that his whole world and thus everything the light touches, is his
i was at a different point when i saw the lion king and didnt really get the same impact from mufasa's death that i can remember, but the music department of my high school took a trip to New York a few years back to see the musical version. We had a sort of behind the scenes tour before hand, though, during which they explained the swords and costume choices of more human characters. it was after that tour that watching the musical left a VERY different feeling than i expected to get out of the musical version of an old disney classic. That's when the "realness" of the story really sunk in...
I've always been a life-long _Lion King_ fan, but I never really appreciated the 'realness' of the story until I started getting into sub-Saharan African music (particularly South African music) and realizing how much they were influential to the film and Broadway show's soundtrack, because once you actually learn the words to the various isiZulu songs and lyrics you realize how deep the themes run (especially in the Broadway show's 'exclusive' songs) and it just makes the whole thing that much more powerful.
A well-done villain song can really steal the show. Plus, I can't stop writing parody verses for "Gaston". No one's bad as Gaston No one's mad as Gaston No one makes other characters sad like Gaston No one's rude as Gaston Has bad moods like Gaston No one eats salmonella-filled food like Gaston (all those eggs he swallows)
So basically, the Lion King director is cool as hell. No wonder that movie is a classic.
A classic Disney rip off. One of my favourite movies none the less.

If you enjoy it (which I think you will because people of all faiths and those that don't have one enjoy it), then I'm glad I pointed you in its direction.
SalmaX33 SalmaX33 I hope you like it! It's by far my favourite movie based on a religious story; usually, the writers/directors simplify the story and characters to the point that no one acts like real people (because being a true believer means you never make mistakes or stress about what path to take, right? Right?), but this movie makes the people relatable and their actions understandable. Also, the music is quite good. :) Now you have me curious about how similar the versions of the story are between the Old Testament and the Quran... To Google!
Rob Minkoff is a legend and seems like a really nice person...
@screenjunkies just a note to the director, the language in the "circle of life " is NOT Swahili. "Hakuna matata" and various of the character names are, but not the song. As a Tanzanian I feel that needed to be made clear.
So which language then?
Keithustus
people keep saying it’s in Zulu, so prob Zulu (correct me if I’m wrong)
@@Keithustus the language in the song is Zulu. The phrases and character names are Swahili e.g Hakuna matata, pumba, rafiki and even simba
brother lions actually rule a pride together. most commonly it is 2 brothers that rule together however it is not uncommon to see 4 or even 5 brothers together.
But when ur brother starts screwing ur women, maybe u should rethink about ur Kingdom 🌚
Say "The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault. "
I feel weird watching this and seeing Andy
How does it make you feel now watching this comment?
I feel fine, no big deal.
Wow the honest trailer guys were brave to tackle the Kimba controversy
THAT MAN IS NOT 55 YEARS OLD....... Damn. I know 30 year olds who look way way older
He is 55. He directed the lion king at 32 or something like that. You guys know some pretty shot out 30 years olds..
MöpelPlatsch he kind of looks like Ryan Reynolds
times are changing ... people aging different nowadays
I thought you were talking about Mufasa for a second, and I was like, there's no way that guy is over 25.
Scar's real name was Susan.
And he wants you to respect his life choices.
Lol
Scar's birth name, Taka, is the Swahili word for "waste",
disney.wikia.com/wiki/Scar
wow so Scar is actually better lol
"no it's not. I speak horse. He says his name is Susan, and he wants you respect his life choices"
I love how much of a good sport he is
At Mufasa's death, "do you want to apologize?" I would answer no, because in his shoes, I'd be responsible for making all of you grow up ;)
Tough love, man. We grow around pain. I think stories with loss like this really build us.
I really like this guy! He seems so fascinating and easy to listen to.
bandotaku I imagine this will be what Ryan Reynolds is like when he’s older
I'd love to see more of these Honest Reactions! Maybe Leo and Kate for the Titanic Honest Trailer or Stephenie Meyer for the Twilight ones hehe.
Allen Douangchak Stephanie Meyer would probably start crying.
But the movies were successful wouldn't it be better to take the roasts in stride
Allen Douangchak the honest trailer for the first Twilight film starts with "from one of the shittiest authors of all time"... so maybe inviting her wouldn't be such a good idea haha
Be prepared is my favorite song in lion king
Why don't Disney remake emperor new groove , treasure planet etc. Why remake movies that have done well . its like disney is showing off its budget and technology
They should remake The Black Cauldron... a GOOD remake. The original was a travesty.
I'm surprised that Rob doesn't know the translation of "Nants Ingonyama." It is as follows:
"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
IngonyamaSiyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place][Chant repeats]"
Edit: The chant is Zulu, not Swahili.
Wait, isn´t "simba" swhahili for "lion"?
"Nants Ingonyama" is Zulu. Also, as far as I know, TLK is the first ever Disney film to be totally dubbed in Zulu.
Ingonyama is Zulu for Lion.
Here is an interesting Quora answer on the chant. This person says that, in this context, it's no ordinary lion, as "Ingonyama" is used to refer to a Zulu king. Also, only royals can wear leopard print (www.quora.com/What-are-the-lyrics-of-the-Lion-King-introduction-What-do-they-mean/answer/David-Barnes-76?srid=RjQl).
Niklas Hansen yes, but Zulu and Swahili are two different languages
I know, but the songs, as far as I know, contain Zulu lyrics, while most of the character's names are Swahili (Mufasa = king, Simba = lion, Sarabi = Mirage, Pumbaa = Simple Minded...).
wait, so he was a lion named lion?....Wow REAL creative dad.
His name suggests that he often protests people wearing furs...
But yeah, he co-directed this at 32? Crap... Time to do something with my life, I guess..
Ikr I feel like I've wasted my life
+RS0h7 Videos Me too. Let's be productive now and make cute babies.. 😊
RS0h7 Videos me too, just watchin' useless videos.. 😒😒😒
caffeineadvocate ehh... That can wait, but watching Screen Junkies cant
if you want to feel even worse Orson Welles made Citizen Kane when he was 26
I wonder if Adum from YMS has seen this for his Lion King review
The Lion King is still my favorite movie❤️
*Is still waiting for an Oliver and Company Honest Trailer*
Sameeeee
*shrugs* why should i worry (pun intended)
WHY SHOULD I WORRY~?!
Because I know it’ll happen eventually.....
Say "But I needed that taco more than you"
I feel stupid because I don't get it :(
Caleb Dearing i think its from plants vs zombies
19:00 Lion king director: I gotta go
Others: *Laughing*
Me: Seriously?
He doesn't even try to hide the fact that they ripped it off. It's almost hilarious.
lol, really the stories themselves are nothing alike if you've watched both movies (and the Kimba series). The key similarities are some of the character designs and screen shot concepts. He probably said "I gotta go" because people are so triggered by it that it's sparked online battles. So yeah, that's a pretty funny reaction in that regard.
I love how all the Kimba stans never even watched it lmao
@@mikewalker678 it's quite pathetic really
@@jacobsellers4362 how does it feel being an idiot?
we did a play about Lion King and it has been a memory to be truly remembered. All the songs make my heart fill with joy. Oh, how I miss the times! I played as Banzai haha
Scar's real name is Taka.
And Treasure Planet is awesome! How dare you include it in the downfall.
under_score doesnt taka mean snake or eagle or something?
In Swahili, as a verb it means to "want" or "wish", while as a noun it means "waste"--as in trash. This is established in a short barely cannonical book "The Six New Adventures of The Lion King." But a lot of people accept this as cannon.
In a way, Scar's real name is also a really mean nickname.
Taka means garbage xD
Taka was from Kimba the white Lion. which is what Lion King borrowed from.
ye, my little naruto friend. taka, in japanese, means hawk
His real name is Taka
Means trash
Not any better
(I bet you already knew)
Non-canon.
Which means roughly "garbage."
No, it is Larry.
no it's not
When you realize that Darth Vader, Ferris Bueller, Alferd (Batman's butler, specifically), and Gomez from the Addams Family are all in Lion King.
Man, I think My Lullaby from the lion king 2 is one of my favorites from the trilogy, I just love Zira's voice and the melody is just really nice. From the original movie, I like the ending song a lot. I don't really remember how it's called (might be a reprise of circle of life actually), but again the melody is awesome. For 1 1/2 anything with Timon singing is hilarious.
Milla Cabral "He Lives in You." is the name of the song from Lion King 2.
Love Will Find a Way was pretty good too in the second movie
My mother helped animate that scene :D
I loved the Deception song.
@@ayiciamurray9079 That's called "Not one of us". All the songs in the first two LK movies were good.
He kind of reminds me of Ryan Reynolds
See I was thinking his mannerisms and way he is reminds me a LOT of Adam Savage, of Mythbusters.
You're so right! I kept thinkingh, ive seen someone who reminds me of him so much, but who? It is Adam Savage
Now that you point it out... can't unsee it
ezio auditore He looks more like a thin Jon Favreau to me honestly
ezio auditore, fucking how?
I was 2 years old when this movie was released on vhs, and i learned how to rewind a vcr with this movie, and after my 52nd time watching this movie the vcr ate the lion king, and i cried for 2 days until i got a new copy, and now i get a copy of the movie every time it gets re-released.
Nick Palumbo
VCR's are evil. They eat your favorite movies.
Nick Palumbo Others do the same with porn.
Nick Palumbo Exactly the same thing happened to me, that's crazy😂
Nick Palumbo same thing happened to me!!
my VCR ate Aladdin and I freaked.
"Everything the light touches is ours, Simba" Disney was flexing with that line
In canonical Lion King books it said that Scar had a much more normal name similar to Mufasa’s (I can’t remember it exactly) and he chose to be called Scar as a reminder of his failure as he attempted to get Mufasa killed but the plan backfired and gave him hi scar
How about the Frozen with the Frozen directors?
I'm not sure about that. I personally prefer unfrozen directors.
They don't have a new DVD version to sell yet
LOL!!!
@MrLaxinator Lol!
MrLaxinator lul
Be Prepared was my favorite song 😏. The whole soundtrack was amazing for this movie. Oh and Mufasa's death scarred me as a child lol (I saw it when it was new, in theaters).
Don't wanna be rude but... how old are you?
That would be really weird to have worked on The Lion King. Everybody sees it as a classic, but for Rob Minkoff, he's seen it in production from start to finish.
The circle of DEATH
Circle of life, circle of death.
@@newsiesforever208 , Jon tron fan I presume.
Followed by it's downfall? But I loved Emperor's New Groove, Brother Bear, and Atlantis. I'm so offended lmao
Chef I think they meant in relation to box office sales
Brother bear was my favourite
I've never seen Brother Bear, but I loved Emperor's New Groove and Atlantis was good too.
What about Tarzan?!
I believe they were talking about how all those movies didn’t do well in the box office. Almost all the movies shown in that second are I love but a few bad choices mixed with bad luck made it hard for them to make a little more money with those movies. Hence it being the downfall...
Scar's actual name was *Taka*
Talus Tanat Nope.
Talus Tanat it's Larry now
I would like his name to be Chad.
Talus Tanat wasn't Scarlet
Oh my God. It WASN'T Taka. I would've thought this very interview would have finally made people realize that it was NOT Taka. I mean, _if it was_ then this director right here in this freakin' video interview would have _said_ so - as he was clearly and directly asked what was Scar's real name!! He did not say it's Taka. Therefore it was never Taka. Pay. Attention.
Jesus christ Rob Minkoff is one charismatic bastard. Awesome voice, awesome clothing style, handsome charming dude who just so happened to direct one of the best movies of all time. Well freaking done
*you want to go little further than what been done before* has this guy not seen *the land before time* that movie came out in 86 or 87 I forget but I know it was before *lion king* that movie had littlefoot depressed and sad and his mom even came back in a spirit form to tell him how to get to the great Valley
Hating on be prepared? That is my favourite song in lion king 😄
The Lion King will always be a long classic
To be fair, mufasa is a Lion who only knows the world as he has seen it. So he believes that his whole world and thus everything the light touches, is his
I hate to say this, but Lebo's words were in Zulu, not Swahili.
Starts at 2:06
jd he iene uwjbdhe thanks
jd he iene uwjbdhe Not all capes wear heroes.
Scrubs
Oh look, a disrespectful jackass.
why?
12:40 - Are you kidding me?! "Be Prepared" is one of the best songs in the movie!
The director looks like he's the same age as me and The Lion King came out when I was 14. Dude aged well.
Me before watching:
Oh it'll be funny watching his reactions!
"So have you seen it?"
"Yes"
Me:
(Insert Pikachu meme face here)
DO ME EYES....LOOOOOOOOL
afro symphony I remember seeing that scene when I was younger. It felt sooooo awkward. I had no idea why though. Innocent me. LOL.
15:08 Pork joke
i was at a different point when i saw the lion king and didnt really get the same impact from mufasa's death that i can remember, but the music department of my high school took a trip to New York a few years back to see the musical version. We had a sort of behind the scenes tour before hand, though, during which they explained the swords and costume choices of more human characters. it was after that tour that watching the musical left a VERY different feeling than i expected to get out of the musical version of an old disney classic. That's when the "realness" of the story really sunk in...
I've always been a life-long _Lion King_ fan, but I never really appreciated the 'realness' of the story until I started getting into sub-Saharan African music (particularly South African music) and realizing how much they were influential to the film and Broadway show's soundtrack, because once you actually learn the words to the various isiZulu songs and lyrics you realize how deep the themes run (especially in the Broadway show's 'exclusive' songs) and it just makes the whole thing that much more powerful.
Honest Reactions w/ Ryan Reynolds dad.
Rob Miknof sounds like Mark Hamill and does a great James Earl Jones impression. He’s both Luke and Vader.
I'm one of those who often enjoy the bad guy songs the most xD
A well-done villain song can really steal the show. Plus, I can't stop writing parody verses for "Gaston".
No one's bad as Gaston
No one's mad as Gaston
No one makes other characters sad like Gaston
No one's rude as Gaston
Has bad moods like Gaston
No one eats salmonella-filled food like Gaston (all those eggs he swallows)
You guys should get Jon Favreau for Iron Man. Maybe you could get him, for the 10th anniversary of Iron Man.
YES!! Would love to see that.
Xander M Me too.
He was actually super chill and cool, honestly surprised me a lot. Thanks for this interview ❤️
Was it intended for the lion king to be the kid version of hamlet?
LunarWiseGirl yes
