Be Prepared (Live Action) in the style of 1994's version

I re-edited the 2019 Live Action Lion King's version of 'Be Prepared' to stay very true to the original for fun because I, like many people, loved the original track so much. I worked with what footage was available in the film to make a 1994 version. Using Man on the Internet's amazing cover of the song, I tried my best to sync all the mouth movements to the song track. I still love the live action version so this was just a fun little project. Hope you enjoy it!

If you hear me sing you would think "now that's a voice"

I wish Disney could've remastered the song "Be Prepared" is one of my favorite songs from the film and Scar is my favorite Disney Villain

[@samperry5383]

Be Prepared 2019 should've got a reprise

2019 WAS a reprise... of the OG

Most underrated video of all time

Take notes Disney Remakes, we'll still love hero/sidekick songs, but everyone loves villain songs more!

[@kacmac2340]

Disney: "Ok, but what about morality?"

[@joyunicycle]

@@kacmac2340 Well Disney, we cannot know “morality” without seeing the evil too and comparing it to what is truly good/moral. The 1994 movie knew that and did a great job showing why Scar was bad. Heck that movie showed that there is no sugarcoating life, it has problems and we need to face them. It may not be a money making moral, but it’s a theme that will live on in several generations to come, which again is what the 1994 movie understood.

​@@joyunicycleOk, anyway (I'm not Disney now) I've got a question. How to made such great animated feature movie antagonists like Scar ("The Lion King"); Death ("Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"); Hades ("Hercules") or Lord Shen ("Kung Fu Panda 2")?

That was beautiful scar shenzai banzai Ed and the hyenas

What we should have gotten.

This is a million times better than what the 2019 movie did! I love it 😊

Jeremy Irons was and will always be the best Scar in my book.

joyunicycle Yeah it was almost a perfect tribute to the "original" Be Prepared song.

It’s actually a million times worse.

[@gabe6550]

Awesome! Though it's not perfect and sometimes it is obvious that you used the same shot more than once, the video works quite well with the soundtrack. It felt almost like the sequence from the original version!

[@DallasATrain7]

I like this cover

[@Drethyr]

Yeah Disney dropped the ball on the latest "Lion King"

[@AGuyNamedRobin]

Look I love the original as any... normal person. But that one wouldn't work in the remake, most of it is Scar insulting the hyenas, so considering here they're not even friends. He'd end up torn apart by the clan by the first 10 seconds of song

[@mukeshmalhotra9146]

Yes and these heynas are not supposed to be the same idiot heynas they are smart and clever like they should be in real life

[@100Darkspine]

I feel like that wouldn't happen. He wanders in and plans a coup regardless, Scar's whole thing is that he can charm and manipulate people. The only insults in the song are at the beginning, before Scar lays out his plans and makes promises for things the hyenas would want He delivers most of the same lines through his chant in the 2019 version, and the hyenas rally behind him regardless The song wasn't cut to make the story work, it could have been made into the song it deserved to be

[@100Darkspine]

@@mukeshmalhotra9146 They're less stupid in the 2019 version, but they are swayed by the same exact plan in the end. The presence of the song doesn't affect their decision. Cutting out Be Prepared did nothing for the story

[@austinabishop5559]

I love this! It's amazing! It should be in the movie. The movie worked as it was but this should've been worked into it. Edit: Just my OPINION!!! Didn't mean start anything. I was just sharing my positive opinion of this.

[@Eclipse_101]

In the OG movie, scar was friends with the hyenas for a while.

[@rajeebdas1724]

No my friend...It wouldn't work... You're seeing this independently..This is a great 'independent' work.. Watch the movie again . atleast in snippets.. It wouldn't be cohesive..The mood is too light. The 1994 mood doesn't work.the 2019 scar is a very very serious dude right from the start.. he wouldn't be singing in this fashion.. We should take the two movies as different. the tone is completely different. They had to..They were showing real lions after all!

[@DizzyBusy]

@@rajeebdas1724 "real" fake lions, you mean? We've suspended our disbelief enough to take in a story about a leonine dynasty, and the disinherited previous heir presumptive plotting to kill the current heir of said dynasty. Real lions don't do this.

[@francosalinas4459]

Waaaaay better

Buenos

[@kamilasantossantos5465]

Good bye be prepared the Lion king

[@Marblesoda821]

I wouldn't say you fixed it, the 2019 live action was to made to feel more natural, the original would be too cartoonish to fit in live action remakes.

[@Marblesoda821]

@Facundo León Yeah that's what people get when they expect live action remakes to be as good as their cartoon originals despite the live action remake having to followe real life laws and such. So yeah in short, no fire-bender third regime scar

[@pablofett565]

I definitely liked the 2019 version as much as the original

[@Welcometoweirdmaggedon]

the live action is still better.

[@Eclipse_101]

Also hyenas are not stupid like the original movie portrays them. The way scar takes this encounter is much more convincing than literally going up to their leader and insulting them- that would be a death wish.

[@terrancehylton-lyons1776]

​@Eclipse_101 No, it wouldn't. lol he was Mufasa's brother he literally wouldn't be harmed or the Hyenas would suffer.

[@erenjeager9442]

Much better than Disney Version. 🥰

People don’t get that the original is just him insulting the hyenas If he did it in the live action version when he literally just met them he’d just get ripped apart It sounds more natural as well I liked the 2019 version as much as the original

[@catoticneutral]

Cool, now replace the footage with something less dull

[@loganweaver8251]

I actually liked the 2019 version a bit more then the original one

[@rusttytoasttz]

Tristen Weaver me too!! The original was just too silly for a live action movie, it would make it no longer a darker movie, which I like about it

[@Welcometoweirdmaggedon]

I agree with both of you!

[@xianli6488]

Butb94 there is more color and show hyenas moving in cool actions.

[@100Darkspine]

@@rusttytoasttz It's not a darker movie though. It's got all the songs it's got all the same story beats. Nothing about it is darker, they just took out Be Prepared and replaced it with a chant
