This is a video about lion wandering into hyena's den. If it wasn't for his brother, there would have been 1 less lion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2a5Z5qaqpqcnpo (Sorry, at first wrong link was added. It's fixed now)

[@pencilsandstories]

The way Scar is introduced is so significant. He plays with his food and because he doesn’t go for the kill immediately he loses it. (Zazu: “didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play with your food”) He toys with Simba before ordering the hyenas to kill him. He didn’t have to say all those things to him, because he was planning to kill him all along, but he enjoys the cruelty of making his prey suffer before the end. Just look at the little smile he has when Simba runs away from him. He relishes in it a little and gives Simba a head start, and it costs him the kill, again. And even when Simba hangs from the rocks he specifically wants him to die knowing he suffered all these years for nothing thinking he killed his father. And, again, his prey escapes him because he does exactly that. It’s an interesting dynamic they gave him. Scar is, imo, one of the most evil villains in Disney movies because he isn’t just evil, he is cruel.

[@Californiablend]

This is a wonderful breakdown!

Such an impactful movie for me when I was a child and even as an adult. The scene were Rafiki points to the water and says “No… Look harder. You see he’s in you” with Mufasa echoing in the clouds “Simba” still gives me goosebumps. I think it hits me harder because my dad passed when I was 13 years years old. I’m 33 years old now and that scene still touches my heartstrings. Just a phenomenal movie!

[@rodgill9376]

Its still very sad that Mufasa and Scar have such a bitter and resentful relationship with each other. It was implied that Mufasa was the favorite in the family while Scar wasn't. Of course, that is not the truth but Scar perceived it that way. Its also interesting that the two are such polar opposites. From personality to build. Mufasa's only real weakness was his poor judgement of character. He knew Scar didn't like him but he never would had imagined that he'd actually try to kill him the way he did. He didn't see his brother's hatred of him until it was too late. Scar hated him so much that even when is dead, he made it so petty to made a law to NEVER mention him when he is around is both petty and sad.

[@Cramblit]

That dynamic between Scar and Mufasa is rooted in a lot of real life situations between rulers and siblings, there has been quite a few situations in the same way.

[@rodgill9376]

@@Cramblit best prime example is Hamlet.

I'm retired now, but I was a Spanish teacher for 30 years and during much of that time I used to show Disney & Pixar films to my classes with the Spanish language audio track playing. This is one of the videos I used to show. Now every time I watch it, I hear the dialogue and songs in Spanish from my memory.

[@jlinkous05]

That's a really good idea, showing the Spanish audio version! We're sitting here on Duo Lingo and they're learning things naturally.

[@tofersiefken]

@@jlinkous05 I also used Duo Lingo with my students. I liked the platform and it supplemented the curriculum well, but the variety of activities in class had a heavy focus on audio / video media in the target language from a plethora of sources, both from the curriculum and from authentic, real-world sources. Disney / Pixar have just always been great about including multi-language audio tracks, first by offering VHS options in Spanish & French, then by offering DVDs and Streaming Media with a whole list of language options. Mixing Spanish audio with English subtitles (for the entry-level learners) on a movie that many of the kids were already familiar with made it more fun. I regularly showed Toy Story, The Lion King, and Coco for animations, as well as numerous live-action films such as Selena, Stand & Deliver, The Sea Inside, Pan's Labyrinth, Man Facing Southeast, The Official Story, and more. Obviously the more complex, thematically sober movies were reserved for the more advanced students. Maybe now is a good time to mention that at University, one of my degrees is in Communications with a specialty in Broadcast & Film Production, so I may have a bias for the media.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

My Spanish teachers did this too, and I can't remember whether it was Mrs. Medina or Mrs. Martinez who showed Spanish Lion King, but I remember everyone only halfheartedly watching because we couldn't figure out what was being said XD

[@animetrashamvs]

You know as a kid I got used to characters losing one or both parents early in a movie (i.e. Bambi and Littlefoot) but Mufasa broke me because he was in a full third of the movie! Letting the viewer get to know him and form an attachment was painful enough but on top of that (unlike Bambi's mom who dies off screen or Littlefoot's mom saying her last words) they linger on his corpse for an uncomfortable amount of time as SImba tries to get him to move. It's a scene that's only meant to deliver as much pain as possible😿

[@SegaChamber]

Then Scar comes in to add the cherry on top the misery sundae. "Your dad is dead and it's all your fault."

[@jlinkous05]

I've struggled in wondering whether I should show my 6yo these movies. She already has the occasional nightmare of losing her parents in the crowd or to a T-Rex!

[@joshuagavile4775]

I highly recommend you to watch The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride. It is a criminally underrated film. A large portion of those who have seen it opine that it’s arguably just as enjoyable as its predecessor. Some even say they liked it more than the original. That’s a tremendous testimony to its quality because we’re comparing it to not only a classic, but one that is globally the considered as the “greatest” movie ever produced by Disney.

[@xwolfhunter2237]

I love the 2nd Lion King movie ❤ The scene in that movie that I really love the most was when Kira told Simba "Them? Us. Look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?

It's probably one of the better "direct to DVD" sequels Disney did back in the 90s. Not as iconic as the first film but still good. Now that Lion King 1 1/2 movie on the other hand...

[@mikemath9508]

at my last job, was talkin' to some coworkers. i asked, "favorite disney movie?" and one of them said the lion king, "i cried in the theater" and i was doing math in my head because she just had her 22nd birthday. Turns out she meant the live action one, whereas I saw the animated one when I was 5 probably the coolest cinematic experience in my life to be in a dark room, Rafiki holding up Simba's son, and the song ends with the OF LIIIIFE--BOOM

Disney brought in wild animals for the animators as live models. Good to see this movie holds up.

10/10 The Best Animated Film I Have Ever Seen The Lion King is a great film. Along with a great story (inspired by William Shakespeare's Hamlet), terrific animation, and an all star cast of voices, there are the lessons that are learned from this film (despite being a little rough for the younger children). Like responsibility and honor. I rank this animated film among the great films I have ever seen. It was part of my childhood and it is a film experience I will never forget. And hopefully, you won't either. A++

[@15blackshirt]

This was primarily inspired by the Shakespearean play Hamlet. Following this are two more films, two animated series and a Broadway show

[@Buddy-Dale]

Also partly the story of Moses from the book of Exodus

[@Kratosx23]

The producer of The Lion King claimed that Moses and Joseph were characters who Simbas journey is partly inspired by, but it's also heavily inspired by Shakespeares Hamlet. Both stories center around a prince whos father is killed by his brother to take the throne, the uncle convinces the son to exile himself while trying to kill him, their fathers appear to their sons as spirits, and they exact revenge, but they're not identical mirrors. For instance, in Hamlet, he's indirectly responsible for his lover and mothers death rather than his fathers, and he also dies at the end after killing his uncle.

One thing I learned when I watch animated movies is that when the animated movies hit you with emotions, they hit you HARD. And all because they combine the visuals with the music in such scenes. Revisiting those scenes, whatever emotions and feelings those animated movies were trying to make me feel and have, I feel them and I have them, and that's how you tell amazing stories in this medium.

[@DukeDarkshadow]

I was nine years old when this movie first came out and there was nothing like seeing this in the theater. The entire theater room literally shook when Scar's giant paw slammed down at the beginning and don't even get me started on how thunderous and heart-pounding the roaring wildebeest stampede was on the big screen.

[@U-Gozoo]

Few things I met Matthew Broderick (grown Simba) when I was a child he is an amazing person, the stampede scene took the teams three years to complete and the teams were 3000 miles away from each other with some on the west coast and the rest in the east so there were a lot of phone calls, and business trips, Nathan lane ( timon) actually auditioned for the role of pumba and vis versa for pumbas voice actor but the casting thought they'd be perfect for the opposite roles... The look in Mufasa's eyes wasn't fear for himself it was for his son because he finally realized his brother would literally stop at nothing for what he wanted and that includes ki**ing whoever he thinks necessary, and with Mufasa not around Simba is defenseless....!!

Amazing reaction! I really would love to react to the rest of the franchise! I’d do it in this order: The Lion King, The Lion King 1 1/2, The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, and The Lion King Live Action. There is a tv series called The Lion Guard, which follows Simba and Nala’s second born Kion as he becomes the leader of the Lion Guard and protect the Pridelands from their enemies; it takes place during The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride and not long after its ending. Also here’s some trivia; Hyenas are actually part of the feline family and a clan of hyenas are led by a female. Also in the original storyline, they actually had planned for Scar to find Simba besides Mufasa in distraught. Scar would pick him up by the mouth and attempt to kill him. Only to be interrupted by Sarabi and the lionesses, and they would’ve thought Scar had saved him. Simba would grow with Scar being his adviser. However, the production team thought it would best for him to run away in shame, so he’d be more humble and actually grew up from his carefree life style to take his place. 🦁💛🧡❤️🖤

In lion culture, it would’ve been appropriate for Scar to either be dead or banished as the secondary male lion, so he was lucky to even be there. Interestingly, Scar is also considered “more attractive” in lion terms, being dark haired and having more testosterone, so it’s likely the lionesses might have preferred him as pride leader (if they weren’t “humanized” to see his poor leadership qualities of course.)

Re c. 13:53 When this came out in '94, I was on active duty in the Navy. Main Gate Movies 10 was right off post at the big base in Norfolk, and an Army officer I knew from back before I enlisted, was in town. It was on a weekend when I was, for a change, off duty, and he wanted to catch up. Wasn't much going on around town that I knew about, so we opted to see this particular picture. I'd seen it before, but this is the kind of movie you REALLY have to see in a theater to get the full experience. Now, this was a tough old officer, former Army Nurse Corps major, who'd served two tours in West Germany toward the end of the Cold War. He wasn't exactly the moviegoing type, so the sample size is kinda small here. But it was the only time in my life, that I ever saw him cry during a movie. That old Army nurse passed away in Washington, DC, in 2017. I miss you, Dad.

Everything about this movie is a masterpiece. Music written by Elton John and Tim Rice, music composed by Hans Zimmer. The animation is so beautiful, and the acting is just as beautiful. I love everything about this film. I miss when Disney made classics such as this. ❤
