Easily my favorite "renaissance Disney"-era film.

Although I thought Simba was bland, but he was tolerable. Also I never imagined Darth Vader would make an awesome lion.

Scar was one of the most awesome animated villains in the 90's. Quirky, witty, and his erm... "flamboyance" reminds me of a certain Ratigan.
 
After intercourse when you cum all over a girls stomach, you take a swipe off with your index finger, wipe it on her forehead and say "Simba".

apparently. i woudnt know.
 
I remember I was starting to grow out of Disney at the time... But no matter.. This one sucked me back in. You just had to give it props.

Speaking of intercourse this is the only modern franchise I know in Disney that had the main characters do intercourse - since they have children.

I dunno, I'd put Be Prepared over Circle of Life. Something about Jeremy Irons-turning-into-Jim Cummings has some strange effects.

I almost put it over Circle of Life myself, but the intro to the movie is too epic. Even more epic than Jim Cummings and the hyena Third Reich.

A si bueña, konichiwa. Ja ja.

Three language in a single line of lyrics, it's an impressive cultural achievement by Disney.

Hmm true, it's pretty funny seeing the animals that would be on the lions' menu bow to them hahahaha
 
all i remember is the video game was too fucking hard, i never got past the level where you had to jump on the Giraffes heads, ludicrous, terrible game, i hate it
 
I watched this on Blu-ray recently, first time watching in years, and realized that it's just a decent film. The script is kind of clever, but the movie was too short for its own good. The visuals are on the garish side and the animation leaves something to be desired. It definitely loses points for being a ripoff of Kimba the White Lion. Fuck Disney's arrogance.

Yeah the game sucked. Could have been decent if Capcom had the license.
 
There was a debate on Stormfront a few years ago about whether true conservatives should allow their children to watch the film or not because it takes place in Africa.

Anyway, The Lion King is a national treasure, beloved by everyone. If you ever meet somebody that says, "I hate the Lion King!", know that they are your enemy and they can never be treated as an equal.

If you haven't seen the Blu-Ray, PLEASE do so. It looks absolutely stunning.

and how ANYBODY could put Be Prepared anywhere but #1 blows my mind, but then again certain people prefer KFC to Popeyes, so ya know...

Be thankful you didn't get to the Hakuna Matata stage. Or these fucking stages. Got damn, the last level used to have me so salty. You had to throw Scar into the fire during the final fight, but I couldn't figure out how to. When I finally did it, it was on the wrong part and the game froze. Gave up right there.

Yo, real talk...fuck Kimba.
 
I thought the game was relatively easy when I was a kid.

The stage before the final battle with Scar was the only part where I got particularly frustrated. The battle itself was intense as fuck.
 
I actually had a hard time in the second stage of the SNES game... until I realized I can double jump ostriches. The other time I got stuck was at the geyser level - it took me awhile to realize that I had to wait until the geysers are "covered" by rocks to finish it.

Don't worry I don't like Kimba 1 too.

When they started production, Disney even admitted that this was a remake of Kimba. They were lazy and changed the K to an S.

Except Simba at least has a meaning (all of the names are Swahili, Simba being lion), and while they wanted to remake Emperor Jungle Leo I'm glad they didn't - that anime was horrible.
 
It was the hippo tails that got me in the second stage. Fell into the water all the time. Though the plus side to dying so much was that you to hear that Rafiki soundbite when you continued. Something about hearing "The King...has returned" before starting your game again just makes you feel badass.

The third level scared the shit out of me as a kid. My parents watched me finish it the first time I did to show me it wasn't anything to be scared of. lol

I watched a little bit of it, and it really wasn't that great. Certainly not to the point that people have to bring it up every time someone starts talking about "The Lion King."

Weakest one of the Disney's 90s. I don't get why is the most beloved.

Still awesome, of course.

The Rescuers Down Under
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King
Pocahontas
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Hercules
Mulan
Tarzan

I'd take TLK over Tarzan, Hercules, Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast
 
The preparations for this movie and the rigorous test screening just proves Illuminati mind control techniques. Love the opening song, need the jibberish part at the beginning with Elton John singing.

Wouldn't The Little Mermaid count as well?

It's not 90s but it started the Renaissance
