I was very sick when I recorded this so I'm sorry that I look and sound weird lol, hope you can still enjoy! Also I was dissing Jeremy Irons because he played it so well! Nothing to do with him as an actor or person because he’s brilliant!
I know I'm late to the party but I feel like this never gets noticed: Nala basically saved Simba's life. She repeatedly kick flips him when he is on top her her, in their play fights and the real fight. Then, Scar pulled the same move on him at the end, jumping on top of him; Simba then uses Nala's move, kick flipping him off and over the ledge. Rafiki's words ring true - Simba learned from his past in more ways than one.
Lol my parents made the mistake of taking 3 year old me to the cinema to see it when it came out. Apparently I scream cried louder than all the other screaming crying children 😂
it was ALL zazu's idea "he'd make a very handsome throw rug" mufasa- Zazu! :O just think of it sire when every he gets dirty just take him out & beat him
OMGosh me too! Im 34 and I remember going to see the Lion King in theater and actually having a crush on Simba. LOL! I thought his voice was so sexy. Plus young simba had my heart as well cause Johnathan Taylor Thomas was the voice and I had a huge crush on him since he was a kid and on up cause he's around my age. Well a couple of years older than me. Then The Lion King 2 came out and Kovu became Simba's rival in sexy lions. Lol! And I absolutely loved the song that Kiara and Kovu sang together. I used to sing it all the time even with no music. I loved that song. Im so lucky to have grown up watching all of these Disney classics when they came to theater. Beauty and the Beast was my top favorite. Then the Lion King, then the Little Mermaid, then Aladdin, then Bambie I even had a crush on the grown up Bambi deer, lol, then Pocahontas. Then Snow White, then Cinderella. I've seen Beauty and the Beast nd the Lion King on Broadway and it is so out of this world mind blowing good it will bring chills to your arms as well as make you cry. Especially the Lion King. The music is so beautiful its almost a spiritual experience hearing those browardway singers belt out the first song as well as the song He lives in you, He lives in me. That song is SO GOOD! I was not the only person crying.
@@alyshaharper8730 Actually no. I recently re-saw that one and it didn't affected me much.🤷♂️Mufasa's death gets me *every single time* including when I'm only watching reviews of the movie and not the _actual_ film.
When I was in high school I took German, and our German teacher would get movies that were either originally German, or ones that had been dubbed into German for us to watch. (Which, back in the 90's wasn't as easy as it might be today.) And this was one of the movies he got. And let me just say... THAT song, being sung in German? The WW2 vibes are even more obvious!
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" predates the Lion King, they just sang it in the movie because they could. As a kid I thought it came from here too before hearing the original song and immediately loving it.
I am very stupid I just read this as "Can you feel the Love Tonight" and now I just feel dumb because I spent 1 minutes reasonig with myself before rereading lol
Never apologize for watching Disney movies. They are some of the best ever made. There's a reason we're all still watching them decades and decades later. They animation is always gorgeous, the stories are always fun. And this one is way high up on the list. Jeremey Irons' "Long Live the King" haunts my nightmares to this day.
@@lillyf973 well i will probably never be able to have a normal conversation with him.😂 not because I don’t like him, but because it would just constantly remind me of scar.
@@Welchy same with Joffrey from GoT he was so good at being a villain he had people cheering at a teenagers death he was basically done acting after that XD
@@brandi3981 Which is wild, because according to everyone I've heard from, he was one of the nicest, sweetest people on set, just an absolute cinnamon roll. Boy could ACT!
Fun fact: when Jeremy Irons did the line “you won’t get a *sniff* without me,” he actually damaged his vocal cords, so they had to get Jim Cummings (a *very* prominent voice actor who’s played over 400 roles in animated movies, television, and video-games) to come in & sing the last half of the song. The transition is so damn smooth you can’t even tell!
Also the “what do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hoola.” Part was adlibbed and then the rest of the room liked it enough to actually turn that line into a whole scene. They knew they wanted Pumba and Timon to distract the hyenas but didn’t know how until that line was said unexpectedly
Jeremy Irons is probably one of the best actors out there. For me, how Simba approached Mufasa's body trying to wake him up resonates different for me now, since I had to find my dad passed away in his bed last year, and I'm 30, and watching that part almost made me break down because that memory flashed back with full force.
I *love* Scar! Why you asked? He's such a great villain. His voice is sooo nice too which fits the role so well! I always appreciated great villains, especially ones who'd backstab their greatest threat while spreading lies. Like Starscream or Darkstripe from Warrior Cats franchise. They entertain me while on screen, and it's like cheer both for the bad guy to lose and win all at once. Scar DID win. He killed his competitor, lied and got rid of any other threat. But he also failed so I got to have both wishes achieved. Makes for a great story!
Just by saying that wrected cat's name Darkstripe I am really angry now I hate him so much with a burning passion HE TRIED TO KILL CINDERKIT but am I the only one who couldn't stop seeing Warriors parallels in this movie lol (and even though Im sure you mean Darkstripe did you mean Tigerstar? Because he reminds me a lot of Scar lol)
@@SaraSong-mw3zm OH! When I mentioned Darkstripe and Starscream it was because I was referring to my favorite villain type. The ones who aren't the strongest physically but are backstabbing and coy. Tigerclaw is a powerhouse of a cat on top of being smart, so Scar doesn't fit him all too much because I could see Tigerclaw first trying to best Mufasa in battle for the crown before going to more sneakier stuff. He wouldn't have hyenas do his dirty work. He'd lead Simba or whoever away to the elephant graveyard and do it himself. Much more scary. Tigerstar is Megatron as Starscream is as Darkstripe. Scar is similar because he doesn't have the brute force to back things up *alone* If that helps? It's why I LOVE villains like them. They have a bigger threat of evil they also need to be careful of.
Darkstripe was an unfortunate let down. I felt like he was pushed to being evil because of Fireheart/Star's accusations and harsh lack of trust. Darkstripe got super fed up with him and felt like he had no choice but to go to Tigerstar's side because he couldn't handle being around Firestar anymore. The moment he poisoned Sorrelkit was his last straw. They just... Let Firestar be right about him. Darkstripe could've been so much better, or at least he could've redeemed himself, but no. He was made a Tigerstar minion who can't let go of his grudge that gets him killed
@@a.g.demada5263 That's so cool! In English, they're voiced by different actors though; Frollo is voiced by Tony Jay (who was also the voice of the Asylum Owner in Beauty and the Beast) and Scar is voiced by Jeremy Irons.
@@ifeelpretty5790 I don't know these guys but I suppose they're famous 😇 About the soundtrack, Phil Collins sings himself too in " Tarzan " and " Brother bear " in french.
@@a.g.demada5263 And yeah Phil Collins did record all the songs for Tarzan and Brother Bear too I guess in multiple different languages, which is so cool
the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight was originally written in 1939 in the Zulu language. adapted by many pop and folk artists internationally in the 50's and 60's.
When I was young I saw my father just as Mufasa, he had the most noble heart, was a leader, and everyone loved him so when I saw Mufasa's dead I actually discovered what death meant and cried so hard because I didn't want my father to die. That was my bigger fear. He died 8 years ago and even when I live normally I can't feel properly since then, it's hard for me to cry of feel bad for more than 5 seconds for sad real life events like close people dying. I guess my father's death broke me but I still cry rivers when I see this movie.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight is actually a song from the 60s and this movie's just borrowing it lol Also, that moment Simba takes his place as king and roars gives me the exact same reaction EVERY time! Whoo!
Fun fact the sequel and the half sequel are so amazing. Lion King 1/2 is totally underrated and I think you'd enjoy it. And Lion King 2 is phenomenal! Also you're definitely NOT the first to realize how weirdly attractive simba is.
@@mercykok2635 I'm still annoyed by the accent,but I have a justification: English is not my 1st language and this accent makes it *extremely difficult* (and many times litterally impossible!) to understand what he's saying.
@@Nicamon english is not my native language either but it's my second language so i understand and speak it well. i understand that makes it difficult though. but if you watch a lot of English(with and without accent) you will learn to understand it better.
Pleeeeeaaaaasssssseeee watch the next two lion king movies. Lion King 2: Simbas Pride is one of the best Disney sequels to date Lion King: 1&1/2 is good for a laugh Also, I hope you are feeling better!
Fun facts! "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was actually written in 1939 in Africa and was translated to English and became really popular in the 50's. Lion roars weren't loud enough for what they wanted in this film, so most of these roars are either made by tigers or by a dude named Frank Welker (he's amazing) snarling into a trashcan. Disney actually brought several adult lions into the animating studio so that the animators had live references. Also the comment about Simba being good looking isn't weird at all, watch Lion King 2 and take a look at Kovu and you'll see why a generation of furries was made.
Mufasa’s death still makes me tear up even though I’ve seen it about 100 times Also: medium rare 😂 well done steaks you just end up chewing for 10 years Lion King 2 I really liked! Some people didn’t but it’s worth a watch
Seeing you so angry at Scar is such a great thing, because it means his performance was good! I'm sure other people are upset or whatever, but I bet the voice actor himself sees it as a compliment!
I hope you feel better!! Ginger tea and honey always help me when im sick. Also, you should react to the live action now that you've done the animation 😊
the opening scene animation from the sunrise through where they do the coronation of simba's birth literally has to be the most incredible piece of art in anmiation history. and the song with scar and be prepared, if you notice, the hyenas are doing the goose step. like i tis the third reich
Fun fact: The best scene as he says. When Simba IS on the top of the Stone. Is actully a Guy screaming in to a pot making the sounds that Simba make. The recording of this in the Studio is really freaking funny (I read in the comentarys that you were sick while filming this. Hope you are feeling better now 😘). Also your biggest fan from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 LOVE YAA
Its even better. Its Frank Welker screaming with a trash can. This man was the voice of Megatron and for some reason that makes it like 10× funnier to me
yes!!! best choice ever! This movie IS my childhood, no other will ever come close. This rounds up my day perfectly, thank you so much. Always makes me smile when i see that you've posted a new commentary:)
The Lion King is a trilogy. There's this one, Lion King 2: Simba's Pride and Lion King 1 1/2. All three are great and have amazing stories. The second was my favorite when it came out and the final one is hilarious. I'd highly recommend watching all three on the channel soon!
" I would like to become a sloth cause they don't do anything and the just chill and they are just so cool" Me: Time for sloth knowledge 101 :D Sloths move very little and don't wash unless they fall from a tree to water, resulting into fungi and algae growing in their fur. In addition to algae and fungi, sloth's fur is jampacked with numerous moths and other insects that live on the sloth's back for most of their lives and lay eggs in the sloth's poop. Apparently some birds, like brown jays, use sloth's as moving bug buffets and sit on them, eating their tenants :3
21:53 True but this is how Scar manipulates. He wants Simba to believe it’s his fault for killing Mufasa before sending the hyenas to murder him. And here, he wants Simba to admit to everyone that he is a murderer and break his mother’s heart. And Scar wants the satisfaction of telling Simba “oh sike that was actually me” and then throw him in the fire. It almost worked, good for him.
The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie and Mufasa was my hero growing up. He’s such a good king, parent, and role model. And tbh I still have so much respect for him.
You also have to admire the character designs in this movie. They made female characters who were still distinguishable as females without having big batting eyelashes or busty figures. **Glares at some of the more modern female animated animal designs**
Fun fact: as a child I was sick with lukeimia and was hospitalized and Jonathan Taylor Thomas (young Simba) and Matthew Broderick (grown Simba) they gave us plushies and pictures of them that were signed.... The guy who voiced mufasa was supposed to come to but schedule issues arose!
Fun fact for you, the song Be Prepared is sang by 2 different people, and it swaps after the line, you wont get a sniff without me, since Jeremy Irons strained his voice after doing it, Jim Cummings the guy who voices Winnie the Pooh finishes it
Ofc Simba is good looking. Again, it's that era when middle parted hair was verry popular 😩❤👌🏻 I actually like Scar with that BEEEE PREEPARREEEEEEEDD~ I mean, BEST VILLAIN SONG YAASSHH
Scar got his scar on the eye from his own father because he was different and not the son his father wanted. Mufasa however was perfect, always in the spotlight. Scar actually should’ve been the next king, but I’m not sure how it went from that, either his father just made mufasa the king or nobody wanted a king with a scar on their face. Sure I don’t support his actions in killing mufasa and then also wanting to kill a kid, his nephew. But he did have a tragic past and I’m sure the scar wasn’t the only thing his father did to him. And while already suffering like that, now that mufasa is king, he continues to suffer. Lives alone in the shadowland, with nothing to eat, only annoying hyenas. Want a life like that? I’m sure you‘ll go crazy as well. Also, scar and serafina (the mother of samba) were in love first, but mufasa took her from him, because by then he was already king and obviously the king gets the girl. Idk what serafina did (like if she went freely and wanted to be with the king or if she like had no choice), but either way, mufasa takes and takes everything from scar. You expect him to be nice then? Killing is brutal, but after such a childhood/young adult life, I’m sure anyone starts to get cold and brutal. Also, i don’t wanted to attack you or anything with this arguments, I’m not trying to justify his actions, but I want to clarify things. Hate scar as much as you want, but he had a pretty rough childhood, so at least he had some reasonable reasons to go against his own family.
This movie was composed of Elton John and Tim Rice. Young Simba was voiced by Johnathan Taylor Thomas and Older Simba was voiced by Matthew Broderick. Scar was voiced by Jeremy Irons
Fun fact, the Lion King and Pocahontas were made around the same time, and Disney thought Pocahontas would be the big movie, so they had what was essentially their B team working on the Lion King.
I saw this in the theater when I was around 10ish with my cousin and Aunt. The Circle of Life played and then Boom! Title card. "The Lion King." And my Aunt, joker that she is, went. "Well, that was a great movie." And the entire theater of parents just died laughing. Steak is rare or medium-rare otherwise it's trash. the story behind "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" Is quite sad. should look it up. Also the Lion King 2 is pretty good.
I had the same reaction at the end, with the music build-up and the majestic roars... You should've seen it in theatres bro. I did several times. As.often as I could get my parents/grandparents to take me (as I was in 3rd grade).
@@blushberryxo The emotions are there because of the nostalgia like I grew up watching lion King with my dad so when the two of us went to the theater to watch the live action we both cried our eyes out but I mean I guess everybody has their own version of emotions
I was very sick when I recorded this so I'm sorry that I look and sound weird lol, hope you can still enjoy! Also I was dissing Jeremy Irons because he played it so well! Nothing to do with him as an actor or person because he’s brilliant!

Then, Scar pulled the same move on him at the end, jumping on top of him; Simba then uses Nala's move, kick flipping him off and over the ledge.

You are not alone in thinking that Simba is good looking. There’s a whole crowd of people that agree with you

I’ll be honest Kovu and Mufasa also are good looking.
I believe that “group” is called “furries”

Fun fact the sequel and the half sequel are so amazing. Lion King 1/2 is totally underrated and I think you'd enjoy it. And Lion King 2 is phenomenal! Also you're definitely NOT the first to realize how weirdly attractive simba is.
My favourite movie of all time 🦁 👑
You can cry, don't be shy...you are not the only one. Millions (males and females) cried watching this scene. 👍
The first time I heard your accent: annoyed
The second time i heard it: it’s okay.
Me Now: is in love with the accent.
The accent is one the reason I'm here. I'm such a sucker for accents. Cute doggy btw.
@@victoriabryer4710 same. Love his accent soo much. One of the reason I love watching his reactions
@@victoriabryer4710 thanks
@@mercykok2635 I'm still annoyed by the accent,but I have a justification: English is not my 1st language and this accent makes it *extremely difficult* (and many times litterally impossible!) to understand what he's saying.
@@Nicamon english is not my native language either but it's my second language so i understand and speak it well. i understand that makes it difficult though. but if you watch a lot of English(with and without accent) you will learn to understand it better.
Pleeeeeaaaaasssssseeee watch the next two lion king movies.
Lion King 2: Simbas Pride is one of the best Disney sequels to date
Lion King: 1&1/2 is good for a laugh
Also, I hope you are feeling better!
Lion King 1 1/2 is criminally underratted.
@@dizzyrascal5015 True
@@korana1912 I mainly love it as one of the main reasons why I love Lion King is Timon and Pumbaa so that movie was a dream come true
Fun facts!
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was actually written in 1939 in Africa and was translated to English and became really popular in the 50's.
Lion roars weren't loud enough for what they wanted in this film, so most of these roars are either made by tigers or by a dude named Frank Welker (he's amazing) snarling into a trashcan.
Disney actually brought several adult lions into the animating studio so that the animators had live references.
Also the comment about Simba being good looking isn't weird at all, watch Lion King 2 and take a look at Kovu and you'll see why a generation of furries was made.
Mufasa’s death still makes me tear up even though I’ve seen it about 100 times
Also: medium rare 😂 well done steaks you just end up chewing for 10 years
Lion King 2 I really liked! Some people didn’t but it’s worth a watch
agreed, I really did and still do love lion king 2 its really nice!
Agreed! Both on the stake and 2nd movie 😁
I know you probably won't, but you should really watch the sequel. It's very underrated.
the 2 or the 3?

True i always loved the second one, maybe even a bit more than the first one

@@mercykok2635 shhhh! 😂
Seeing you so angry at Scar is such a great thing, because it means his performance was good! I'm sure other people are upset or whatever, but I bet the voice actor himself sees it as a compliment!
When he says "turn scar into a rug I dont care" and disney did that exact thing in Hercules 😂
Decades passed and I still get goosebumps with that intro.
I hope you feel better!! Ginger tea and honey always help me when im sick. Also, you should react to the live action now that you've done the animation 😊
Thank you!
Rafiki: “It is time”
Welchy: “Time for what?”
Me almost instantly:
*_“Time for his therapy session”_*
There's also a lion king 1 and a half from Timon and Pumbaa's POV that's absolutely golden
I watched all of them and had them did you see the tv show spin off? Gosh sometimes I get that song dig a tunnel stuck in my head
You should react to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron!
‘Turn him into a rug’.... laughs in Hercules
the opening scene animation from the sunrise through where they do the coronation of simba's birth literally has to be the most incredible piece of art in anmiation history. and the song with scar and be prepared, if you notice, the hyenas are doing the goose step. like i tis the third reich
Fun fact: The best scene as he says. When Simba IS on the top of the Stone. Is actully a Guy screaming in to a pot making the sounds that Simba make. The recording of this in the Studio is really freaking funny
(I read in the comentarys that you were sick while filming this. Hope you are feeling better now 😘). Also your biggest fan from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 LOVE YAA
Its even better. Its Frank Welker screaming with a trash can. This man was the voice of Megatron and for some reason that makes it like 10× funnier to me
@@lostagain9386 OMG KSKSKKSKS
00:07. Just seven seconds in and it’s already proven that this video was worth clicking on. Your dog is adorable! :D
It is one thing to know that Mufasa dies. It is another thing entirely to watch it.
yes!!! best choice ever! This movie IS my childhood, no other will ever come close.
This rounds up my day perfectly, thank you so much. Always makes me smile when i see that you've posted a new commentary:)
The Lion King is a trilogy. There's this one, Lion King 2: Simba's Pride and Lion King 1 1/2. All three are great and have amazing stories. The second was my favorite when it came out and the final one is hilarious. I'd highly recommend watching all three on the channel soon!
In german the Voice actor of Scar also voices Ollivander. He does a very good job in both movies, but I can’t just hate Scars voice. It is so great.
" I would like to become a sloth cause they don't do anything and the just chill and they are just so cool"
Me: Time for sloth knowledge 101 :D
Sloths move very little and don't wash unless they fall from a tree to water, resulting into fungi and algae growing in their fur. In addition to algae and fungi, sloth's fur is jampacked with numerous moths and other insects that live on the sloth's back for most of their lives and lay eggs in the sloth's poop. Apparently some birds, like brown jays, use sloth's as moving bug buffets and sit on them, eating their tenants :3
Ah, the life of a sloth.

HAHAHAHAHA YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A DEEP CRUSH ON ADULT SIMBA
Mufasa: *gives a child friendly version of "our corpses will be broken down into nutrients for the soil"*
Welchy: *starts talking about reincarnation*
21:53 True but this is how Scar manipulates. He wants Simba to believe it’s his fault for killing Mufasa before sending the hyenas to murder him. And here, he wants Simba to admit to everyone that he is a murderer and break his mother’s heart. And Scar wants the satisfaction of telling Simba “oh sike that was actually me” and then throw him in the fire. It almost worked, good for him.
"Turn him into a rug"
About that... if you watch hercules you can see a lion skin rug that looks suspisiously similar to scar
The sequel is one of the few good Disney sequels, one of my fav movies.
The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie and Mufasa was my hero growing up. He’s such a good king, parent, and role model. And tbh I still have so much respect for him.
Yes _please_ watch the second movie! It is one of the rare disney sequels that is actually pretty good! Very underrated, highly recommend
You also have to admire the character designs in this movie. They made female characters who were still distinguishable as females without having big batting eyelashes or busty figures.
**Glares at some of the more modern female animated animal designs**
You are the best reactor Ive seen so far. I love watching movie reactions and you sir is the funniest of them all. Subscribed.
*"I was just trying to be bravely cute..."*
If there was ever a Disney villain who deserved to be repeatedly called a bitch, it's Scar. XD
Characters are often animated to look a bit like the actor who voices them, and Simba is voiced by the handsome Matthew Broderick. It makes sense.
Yooo I thought I was the only one getting goosebumps from the ending scene. It's so powerful on every level!
Welchy! Good old Welch’s fruit snacks lol. Haven’t even watched the whole vid but just wanted to comment beforehand!
This video popped up in my recommendations and I absolutely love it!! :D Love your reaction to this movie! Thanks for the laughs
Seeing someone react to this movie for the first time is a rare treat.
Fun fact: as a child I was sick with lukeimia and was hospitalized and Jonathan Taylor Thomas (young Simba) and Matthew Broderick (grown Simba) they gave us plushies and pictures of them that were signed.... The guy who voiced mufasa was supposed to come to but schedule issues arose!
As a kid the first time I saw this I called people dramatic for crying when Mufasa died
The "you gotta get up, dad" gets me. Every. Time. Even just in this review, teared right up
When simba is walking up the rock
Mufasa's spirit: Remember
Welchy: weird moan🤣
Fun Fact: It is approved that Scar is the #1 vilain best vilain in the whole Disney community.
If you think Simba had a good design here, you need to see Kovu in TLK 2. It's a pretty solid sequel.
Fun fact for you, the song Be Prepared is sang by 2 different people, and it swaps after the line, you wont get a sniff without me, since Jeremy Irons strained his voice after doing it, Jim Cummings the guy who voices Winnie the Pooh finishes it
Ofc Simba is good looking. Again, it's that era when middle parted hair was verry popular 😩❤👌🏻
I actually like Scar with that BEEEE PREEPARREEEEEEEDD~
I mean, BEST VILLAIN SONG YAASSHH
Watching this reaction of yours gives me childhood flashbacks from when I watched the Lion King as a child.
Scar got his scar on the eye from his own father because he was different and not the son his father wanted. Mufasa however was perfect, always in the spotlight. Scar actually should’ve been the next king, but I’m not sure how it went from that, either his father just made mufasa the king or nobody wanted a king with a scar on their face.
Sure I don’t support his actions in killing mufasa and then also wanting to kill a kid, his nephew. But he did have a tragic past and I’m sure the scar wasn’t the only thing his father did to him. And while already suffering like that, now that mufasa is king, he continues to suffer. Lives alone in the shadowland, with nothing to eat, only annoying hyenas. Want a life like that? I’m sure you‘ll go crazy as well.
Also, scar and serafina (the mother of samba) were in love first, but mufasa took her from him, because by then he was already king and obviously the king gets the girl. Idk what serafina did (like if she went freely and wanted to be with the king or if she like had no choice), but either way, mufasa takes and takes everything from scar. You expect him to be nice then? Killing is brutal, but after such a childhood/young adult life, I’m sure anyone starts to get cold and brutal.
Also, i don’t wanted to attack you or anything with this arguments, I’m not trying to justify his actions, but I want to clarify things. Hate scar as much as you want, but he had a pretty rough childhood, so at least he had some reasonable reasons to go against his own family.
This movie was composed of Elton John and Tim Rice. Young Simba was voiced by Johnathan Taylor Thomas and Older Simba was voiced by Matthew Broderick. Scar was voiced by Jeremy Irons
Do you guys think it's overrated?
I certainly don't
absolutely not!
Your channel is blowing up! I subscribed about a month ago with less than 10k subs and now you’re at 16k! That’s awesome
Hey come on dude! Jeremy irons is a treasure! It’s not his fault he is so great.
Fun fact, the Lion King and Pocahontas were made around the same time, and Disney thought Pocahontas would be the big movie, so they had what was essentially their B team working on the Lion King.
I saw this in the theater when I was around 10ish with my cousin and Aunt. The Circle of Life played and then Boom! Title card. "The Lion King." And my Aunt, joker that she is, went. "Well, that was a great movie." And the entire theater of parents just died laughing.
Steak is rare or medium-rare otherwise it's trash.
the story behind "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" Is quite sad. should look it up.
Also the Lion King 2 is pretty good.
I had the same reaction at the end, with the music build-up and the majestic roars... You should've seen it in theatres bro. I did several times. As.often as I could get my parents/grandparents to take me (as I was in 3rd grade).
I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON ATTRACTED TO SIMBA FOR SOME REASON :D
Yeah little teeny Simba probably thought his roar practice that didn't even scare that chameleon somehow started the stampede.
Loved this reaction and your pup 😂😂 you should watch the live action version ITS SO GOOD
@@blushberryxo The emotions are there because of the nostalgia like I grew up watching lion King with my dad so when the two of us went to the theater to watch the live action we both cried our eyes out but I mean I guess everybody has their own version of emotions
The live action IS SO BAD. You should watch “your movie sucks” video on it and you’ll realize how bad it is, you’re just blinded by nostalgia.
@@oceansolstice608 I love it so much seem it many times it’s always good to me 😂
Love your reactions as always! Youre definetly one of my favourite youtube reacter. Hope you get besset soon!
