The Lion King: The Making of a Walt Disney Masterpiece (Part 1 of 2)

No wonder The Lion King earnt the awards it did, and for me it is the last great feature length film Disney ever produced.

I miss this era of Disney and Traditional Animation so much.

This movie is very special to me because it was released during a very tender time in my childhood. My father had died a year prior to its release so in a lot of ways I feel very much like Simba. Of course, I didn't make the connection back then but now, almost 20 years later, I see how much I've been positively impacted by it. And for that I thank you, Walt Disney Studios.

I wish Disney would do another animal film in the footsteps of The Lion King, Bambi, The Jungle Book, The Fox & The Hound. A film set in the arctic with wolves, polar bears, orcas, snowy owls, snow hares, moose, penguins, and arctic foxes. It can loosely be based on Homer's The Odyssey and focuses on members of a wolf pack trying to make it back home to reclaim their territory and pack from an evil treacherous wolf that has taken over the pack while at the same time crossing orca infested waters, dodging poachers, and trying to evade a rogue one eyed polar bear.

Everytime I hear a song from this movie I'm kid again. Disney gave me a beautiful childhood. And I will show my daughter all the movies I watched (and the new ones although they don't give me the same feeling) but I'm sure they'll give her the same joy and moral as it gave me as a kid. Love everyone that made Disney possible. And the background singers in lion king. The african music, so beautiful.

This film is incredibly majestic, and it stands tall alongside the other great epics Star Wars, Forrest Gump, The Lord of the Rings, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and Lawrence of Arabia.

Moira Kelly was a friend of our family. She used to watch me & my sister. This is how I remember her, big glasses and short hair!

"He has to learn to believe in himself before he can be what he is fated to be." A powerful statement.

[@1990wildkat]

"...lyrics you'll be humming for years to come." he was kidding when he said that, it 2017 and lion king still has the greatest musical till today since 1994(i think cant remember when it was first aired i was a toddler, but still grew up luvin it)

[@ciri_riannon235]

Aaaahhh the 90s...when Disney had ideas, passion for art and hard work...now it's all about money and CGI live actions 💔😞

I nearly cry while watching. It brings back all of my childhood memories. I love disney movies.!!!

Lovely! RIP Roy Disney. You are missed.

[@planetX15]

Why Roy?

[@elenzo1986]

[@planetX15]

@JAAYDE BAKER Yeah, shouldn't it be Walt?

[@thesladesterb3vt3co7h]

@@elenzo1986 Roy E. Disney was Walt’s nephew actually, not his son, because Roy E. Disney was the son of Walt’s elder brother Roy O. Disney. There’s two Roy Disney’s, the brother and the nephew. Walt’s nephew Roy is the one that’s featured in this video.

greatest movie in human history

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

Z-95SkyHunter I agree and one of my favorite Disney movies and movie in general

[@19EHF]

RIP Roy Disney. Under him Disney was better and made films that touched the hearts of all people. The Lion King is more than a Disney or animated masterpiece, the movie itself will go down as one of the best of all times. I dont know about the rest of yall but as a 80 year old woman I will STILL be watching the Lion King and STILL remember all the wonderful songs

This is one of many videos that inspired me to become a movie maker. I hadn't seen it for many years, and as I watch it now, it brings tears to my eyes.

[@lauramclaughlin5340]

[@felipeterrero]

God save James! What a powerful voice! My respects, To a powerful dark lord of the sith. Each line combines power and wisdom, glad to be alive listening to this spectacular actor! Irons also gave an incredible performance.

[@lauramclaughlin5340]

I love it how he sYs "with tunes I'm sure u will be humming for years to come" it amazing because it's now officially 20 years old and the songs are still such an influence on disney and media

[@jacktallis4283]

It's honestly so impressive how much went into Disney movies

[@Golden.dragon7]

I get chills every time I hear the music. So good

[@yogamanda8888]

Masterpiece! Captures the essence of Disney, from the drawings, colors, sounds and music, it all adds to the feeling this film delivers. Even if this movie gets redone this one will remain classic and original. A Favorite
