Confession: this film was the very first Disney film to make me cry. No matter how many times I’ve watched Mufasa’s death scene, I’m still reduced to tears. You were looking at the GREATEST father in cinema. Ironically, voiced by the same person that voiced the WORST father in cinema history. Darth Vader.

Being strong as a male doesn't mean all the time or to throw your ego around 24/7, there are times and places when you have to be there. That's Mufasa. Be there when it counts. That's a Lion.

[@branphillips9546]

True lions observe the lands as the lionesses prowl, lounging patiently with the playing cubs but come nightfall they hunt big game using all their knowledge and power. Otherwise they act in daylight only to patrol or protect.

[@TheClassicWorld]

It never means that. De Waal's work already proves that this is the case with chimps, not just humans (though it's not as true with lions, but that's Jungian symbolism for you). The alpha male is always the strongest and the wisest and the most compassionate, all at the same time (or at least, enough when he needs to be to the females, other males, and his own family, and to be open to new information, as noted by the bird/'King's eye' in this one, which Scar is unhappy about). In this way, I think the modern world has a very corrupt, anti-reality view of males, since it's always framed in the context of 'ego' and in the negative, which is just nonsense. This shows zero literally of biology, and it means you understand humans even less than chimps understand (both men and women fail to understand humans all the time). For more insight into this, you can actually watch Jordan Peterson's Jungian lecture of The Lion King from 2017 on KZbin. He goes through the entire film, scene by scene.

[@matthewguevara9257]

Well said man

[@RaymondJiang444]

​@@TheClassicWorld Just because that's what a 'strong' male is or should be doesn't mean there aren't males out there that misunderstand what it means to be strong and do things they feel would show that yet only show how insecure they are. And even so-called 'alpha' males in the positive sense know that being strong doesn't mean not being vulnerable. That was something Mufasa talked about with Simba after saving him from the hyenas. What he did was brave and required a lot of mental strength, but it didn't mean that he wasn't without fear. He was afraid when Simba wandered off into a dangerous territory (something he was 'strong' enough to admit to his son) but because he had a duty to protect his son if he ever got into trouble, it drove him to do something in spite of the fear. Most importantly, he didn't do it to try to prove to anyone _else_ how 'strong' he was. And even with all that, strong males also know that there are times when they may not feel as strong and are 'strong' enough to recognize when they need help and support and aren't afraid to ask for it.

[@gregfaber3417]

Keep in mind its the female lions that do most of the hunting AND caring after the cubs. Females are stronger than males emotionally and mentally.

[@WaffleCzar]

Hans Zimmer (who also did the soundtrack for movies like The Last Samurai, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Dark Knight trilogy & more) originally didn't want to do the Lion King soundtrack since it was an animation about animals, until he learned that it's about a boy who loses his father at a young age. Zimmer also lost his father when he was young so he tried to write the music accompanying Mufassa's death to reflect how he felt when his father died and as a kind of requiem for his own father. That's why it's impossible to not cry.

[@tararocksong5085]

Exactly, I know how it felt like to lose my dad 2 years ago to liver disease. At least my mom spent 14 years together with him until the end.

[@brodiger]

I can definitely see why Hans Zimmer didn’t want to do with the score part during Mufasa’s death scene because I remember watching him talk about it during behind the scenes of the lion king and I feel really bad that he doesn’t have his dad anymore. He probably goes to visit his grave either on his birthday, Father’s Day or death anniversary but still his score in the lion king is the best yet my dad told me that the lion king what is Hans Zimmer’s first score that he did because it was for his daughter and I can see why.

This movie always hits me where it hurts. I saw it for the first time in the theater with my father in the summer of '94. Six months later he was dead by his own hand. I was 8. Our post movie conversation panned out very similar to Simba and Mufasa's, the big difference being that my father didn't end up dying protecting me but rather protecting himself. I literally cannot watch this film without being overwhelmed with pride, sorrow, guilt, shame, anger, resentment, and regret, especially during the ghost Mufasa scene.

[@RYMAN1321]

Geez man, that’s horrible. Hope you’re doing okay now. It’s not quite the same, but this film came out two days after my maternal grandfather passed away. Granted I wasn’t even born yet, but knowing that fact still adds a certain sadness to this film regardless when I watch it

[@RaymondJiang444]

I obviously didn't know your father, but assuming he was an otherwise devoted and caring father prior to his passing, it's possible that he took his own life because he may have reached a point where he felt that his ability to be that to you could no longer overcome whatever personal demons he could've been battling inside. I understand as a loved one of a victim of suicide it's hard to process why someone would do it and it's easy to feel like it's your fault for what he did, but I want to say that neither you nor your father should feel shame or guilt for what happened. Your father was likely very ill and he just didn't want to tell you and bother you with it because he wanted to stay strong for you. Only when he felt that his ability to stay being that strong father figure to you was finally going to be compromised by his ability to deal with his own personal issues did he probably feel like he had no other choice. Many people take their own lives because they're in what they feel is a desperate and hopeless situation after having spent much of their lives using their emotional energy to to hide and mask their issues so they could survive and/or take care of others rather than taking time to take care of themselves. If somebody had reached out to your father or he had asked someone for help maybe it could've turned out different but I hope you don't feel that he did what he did out of selfishness. I'm sure he remembered that talk with you after watching the movie and didn't want to let you down, so rather than facing a reality where he wouldn't be able to give 100% to you, he just decided to end it himself.

Fun fact: In the opening scene, where he holds the Son up and the light breaks and hits him, Carl Jung calls that 'synchronicity', which means, 'a circumstance that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection'. As for the rest of it, that's pure Darwinism and a concept from Tolkien called 'applicability', which means, 'the readers are free to think about the work in any way that works with their own thoughts. It isn't telling you how to think or feel in any certain, topical or political manner. It is letting you apply the work to your life'.

Just to put into perspective how brutal Scar's death was: hyenas have a bite force strong enough to chomp through bones the same way we bite into celery. And, they have no ethical dilemmas when it comes to eating their prey alive. So they probably didn't even kill Scar right away; they ate him before he was even dead, meaning he endured SO much pain before finally dying to blood loss. Death by hyena attack is one of the most brutal ways to die in nature, because in actuality, contrary to what the movie shows, hyenas are actually BETTER hunters than lions! Their hunting success rate is higher than that of lionesses, and they even beat lions when they attack in a group. We didn't know that in '94; so, the most famous animated movie of all time did a HUGE disservice to hyenas as predators. Justice for hyenas! 🙏 These guys are SCARIER than lions!

The cast is perfect, the script is perfect, the delivery is perfect, the animation is perfect, & the soundtrack is the greatest movie soundtrack of all time... also perfect. As many amazing movies Disney/Pixar & other studios have released to date, to me, this is still the greatest animated movie of all time. The emotion it invokes is a testament to its greatness.

[@aziladodobem]

by far the best movie from disney, everything is amazing, powerful..

[@mycroft16]

I always start worrying with this movie when people start the crying early. Jeremey Irons absolutely kills it as Scar. "Long Live the King" is one of the most haunting line deliveries ever. People always seem so surprised when they're crying during an animated film. They deal with very real emotions and situations like any other film can. And Disney... they are absolutely masters of finding that emotional knife to just gut you with and then overwhelm you with later.

[@SaRENRampaiger]

I still have this on VHS. You should see the sequel of it too. Just as good as this one. And there's a tv series of Timon and Pumbaa

[@MontgomeryWenis]

The sequel is NOT good whatsoever. Neither is the Lion King 1½ with Pumba and Timon.

[@mosovanhe]

@@MontgomeryWenis Personally, I always HATED the sequel haha - even when I was a kid. Like, it wasn't even drawn in the same style as the first one.. that bothered me so much. That movie 100% lacked heart and soul.

I hope there will be a sequel reaction, the best song "he lives in you" is in that movie.

Love the reaction guys, very honest and genuine as usual. Lots of tears, but hey Lion King'll do that to ya.👍

[@CrisaMV]

Worst thing I realized about Moufasa and what Scar did with him AFTER he died?! Check the bones imprisoning Zazu and the skull Scar is playing with. 😳😭

[@stephies5352]

Looks more like a Baboon skull tbh. But the Hyenas probably did eat Mufasa 😭

[@jp3813]

The lionesses would've revolted already if he did that. That makes him look very guilty.

[@jp3813]

@@stephies5352 If the lionesses found the remains, they would've accused Scar of conspiring w/ the hyenas.

The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time! I still have my plush Simba from Disney world Florida with me. I saw the movie in 3D when they re-released it. The remake wasn't very good. Even though I know Mufasa's scene is coming it always makes me cry. Also Scar is the best. SAVANACLAW for life🔥🔥🔥

[@RYMAN1321]

OMG I remember that too! It was awesome finally seeing it on the big screen, as I never got to before that (I was born after it came out, 1995)

[@JedHead77]

When she was a toddler, my goddaughter called me Timon and my brother Pumbaa. 😂

[@jcg1576]

Another good and perhaps underated movie with James Earl Jones, voice of Mufasa and Darth Vader, is the Sneakers. Jones is just one of the many all-star cast members in Sneakers.

[@pennyforyourthoughts4]

Saw the Lion King on Broadyway about 10 years ago when I was in school as part of a choir trip, one of the best memories I have! It was so moving, we also got to work with some of the performers and learn a lot about the musical pieces earlier that day before hand ❤ shout out to Mr.Ullman and John Hanson Middle school for arranging that trip!

[@RYMAN1321]

It’s still my favorite Broadway show I ever saw, ever since seeing it back in 2009.

[@evilsponge6911]

The Lion King is what Hamlet would be if it had musical numbers

[@IMFLordVader]

I am a german borned 1984. I had no Connection to this until I met my fiance 2015. I watched it 1994 on cinema. For me as a kid it was just a great movie I met my fiance end of november 2015. She never wachted this movie before that. She was born and raised in Teheran, Iran. We watched that Movie together in December 2015. I was emotianally connectect to the family part of Mufasa and Simba. "Just" a kid lost his daddy. But my fiance was much more connected to it. For her it meant to be the history of the Iran before 1979. Mufasa = Reza Sha Palavi Sen. Simba = Reza Sha Palavi jun. The hyenas represents Ayatollah Kohmenie or his uncle. The king went to exile and never retourned back. From this point this movie is a wish for a better future. Let we bet it come true.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

ellie's hyena impression at the end was soo cute lol

[@blackpowder99]

My second favorite Disney cartoon after "Tarzan", fun fact...Google Scar as a throw rug in Disney's "Hercules".

[@Eivor85]

Poor wee Ellie started crying as soon as the stampede started,I always think it's weird that Mufasa and Darth Vader have the same voice(James Earl Jones)

[@adnap]

About like it’s weird for Gandalf and Magneto to be the same person.

[@MrParkerman6]

Disney's Tarzan and one of the Bad Guys from "Ghost" are the same actor.

[@rustyration]

They all have similar body types. It's like their bodies became friends and their heads just came along for the ride.

[@Nicole-tn8ep]

you should all watch "the land before time", it's another heart breaker. and it's about adorable dinosaurs!

[@mattslupek7988]

I love how they're so emotionally invested...especially Ellie!

[@alunavira2724]

Awwww! I loved your reactions! This Lion King actually has a sequel called ‘Lion King: Simba’s Pride’, and it’s EXTREMELY good! Almost feels like the first! I really recommend you all watch it!

[@zbynekurbanek3345]

Lion King 2 is Romeo and Juliet and it is well done... i really liked that they actually payed homage to Lion King 2 in South Park in episode where they clearly had a Romeo and Juliet theme and they never mentioned it and talked the whole episode only about references from Lion King 2...

[@lulystalgianature2968]

Indeed. One of Disney's best sequels for sure.

Rafiki hiting Simba and telling him it's in the past is THE BEST LESSION EVER!
