Not only is Mufasas' voice done by James Earl Jones, who was the King in Coming to America (as well as Darth Vaders voice) but the voice of his queen Sarabi in this movie is the same actress (Madge Sinclair) that played James Earl Jones queen in Coming to America as well.
I cannot believe that he disregarded the important line the Circle of Life, “When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass.” I don’t mind recognizing voices and appreciating how great they sound, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of attention to the important lines.

Omg same! Me and my younger siblings used to make it a game where we would memorize the entire movie from start to end and sing the songs too hahaha good memories ❤
7:14 That's the voice of the legendary James Earl Jones, who also voiced Darth Vader throughout the original Star Wars. Once you hear it, you can't get it out of your head...it's such a thrilling contrast between a chilling synthetic-voiced dark lord and a dulcet-toned King of Beasts.
@@Yugioh420sadly, the Lion King was her final film role because she passed away shortly after this film was released after a 13 year battle with leukaemia.
The voice behind Nala as an adult, is Moria Kelly, who played the female lead in "The Cutting Edge", and the voice of Zazu is Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean!
I really liked her in With Honors even though she wasnt the lead she was enjoyable throughout the movie to me. My wife knows her from One Tree Hill though
Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is also an underrated gem. Most reaction channels overlook it, but it's brilliant. Top Tier Disney Sequel. The soundtrack?! Amazing! 🎶
I love this movie, the stampede took 3 years to complete. The be prepared song blew the vocal chords in scars voice actor.. we 90s kids learned some valuable lessons from this movie... Mainly even family can do evil things to harm you! In reality lionesses hide their cubs till about 3-4 months or until they are strong enough to keep up, but by the age 2 they are banished from the pride. So Simba was about that old when he came back... And scar would have been next in line after Mufasa because bachelor brothers run prides together... So scar banishing Simba is accurate! The fear is Mufasa's eyes weren't for himself it was for his son cause he finally realized how evil his brother actually was .. timon is a meerkat 😂😂
@@drigerdranzer7514 speaking voice yes his singing voice was a completely different person.. Jim Cummings because irons had blown his voice out with the be prepared song
Lionesses actually introduce their cubs after 6-8 weeks when they are robust enough to withstand the physicalities of pride dynamics…not sure where you got 3-4 months? It’s very rare that a lioness stays away that long as it opens herself and her cubs to unnecessary prolonged vulnerability and risks. And it’s between ages 2-3 when males reach sexual maturity they are ousted. Simba’s mane growth in the film as he returns to pride rock is also not consistent at all with a 2 year old lion, but 4-5 year old male.
Oh man! Devin singing “a whole new world” at the intro had me dying!! 🤣🤣🤣 but you definitely heard a few songs from this movie whether you’ve seen it or not 😂 as with all Disney movies, they play the songs everywhere and of course if you have kids in your life, you’re gonna hear their favorite Disney songs all the time 😂
This movie is by far the best thing Disney ever produced. It had a massive impact on me as a kid, teaching me the meaning of death, evilness and betrayal. Todays movies lack the ability to teach those life lessons and I wish Disney had the spine to do something like this again. But sadly they don't.
@@fakenews3742 Cars? I watched those with my children but I can't remember shit, except there is a red racing car... I didn't feel anything special about them.
Not unless it has to do with wokeness. Lol. But yeah. This movie will always be a personal standout to me because this was probably the first movie that I can remember that had an onscreen death and actually showed the body. Especially for a kids movie in the 90s.
Omg I can't believe he never saw the lion king besides a whole new world...which is definitely an Aladdin song is great 😂 But I'm glad you two watched this movie together...It's one of the best movies of the 90s." Disney was at its peak in animation when this came out, it was massive. and it is a classic That we all remember what else to say everything in the movie works the songs the characters the plot... on the other hand Scar is one of my favorite Villains.... :)
my favorite movie growing up and my late father in law worked on this film he drew the landscape, the waterfall in the beginning and mufasa has the cloud
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this movie doesn't matter how many times I've seen the movie, the scene where Simba finds Mufasa dead in the gorge always gets me in the heart. Especially the fact that Scar gaslights Simba into thinking it was his (Simba's) fault. Also, I am very glad they cast James Earl Jones as Mufasa. As much as I respect the actor, they almost cast Christopher Walken. Side note: Some of the character's names have meanings translated out of Swahili Simba: Lion Nala: Gift Mufasa: King Sarabi: Mirage Rafiki: Friend Timon: Respect Pumbaa: Slow-Witted Zazu: Movement
Jeremy Ian's as scar is so slick and sly ❤ and Rowan akinson (Mr bean) as zazu. Plus I absolutely love that pumba got the stars right because of gas lol
17:30 fun fact: Jim Cummings is taking the last part of scar singing of be prepared, after Jeremy irons has vocal problems from saying you won’t get a sniff without me.
This movie is so good and I don't care if I get flamed for this, the sequel is great as well!!! Lion King is basically Hamlet and the sequel is Romeo and Juliet and I love them both!!
Been seeing a lot of different videos of people watching this movie for the first time and I just don't get sick of it! This film is just moving in so many ways for any generation
When my family first saw this movie, my mom immediately declared Rafiki as her spirit animal. Anyone else? EDIT: Mufasa is voiced by the legend himself, James Earl Jones. As you observed, he’s the king in Coming to America, among many roles.
Yes, Shenzi the hyena is indeed voiced by Whoopi Goldberg! You are correct. Mufasa is voiced by James Earl Jones, you are correct that he is the king in Coming to America! He is also best known as the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. Young Simba is voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who played the young boy Randy (the son of Tim Allen's character) in the 90s TV show Home Improvement. You seem to be a millenial like me, so perhaps you remember that show. It was really popular in the 90s. And older Simba is voiced by Matthew Broderick best known from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Godzilla 1998.
@@zipporahlewis4908 I regret to say, I didn't mention him because Jason Weaver's voice is not a voice I know from anywhere else other than The Lion King. I was mentioning the actors' voices Devin recognized based only on sound because I noticed Devin has the same ability as me. I one day long ago became aware from watching anime and from playing Japanese video games, I could identify the same voice actors across different works based only on tone, pitch, and/or inflection, oftentimes even if they were altering their voice. I realized I could do this because I would watch different anime or play different video games in Japanese and noticed the language didn't matter. I could recognize and identify a voice from another work just from sound only without need for any visual or language hints. I remember many times in the past where I would ask my brother, or a friend, "Hey isn't that so and so's voice from so and so?" And they often would be like "Huh? No? I don't think so?" And I would be like "Yeah that definitely is." And we would look it up and I would be right. I would also get told, like his girl said to Devin, "You're good at that." I can do it with just about any person's voice as long as I have heard it before at least once. If I hear it extensively, I can remember it with "photographic" accuracy at any time in the future no matter separation by any length of time. My ears are very sensitive to intonation and my memory is very strong. Without even knowing the actor's names, I would Google to see who played each character to see if they matched and sure enough, it would be the same actor pretty much everytime I tested myself. Essentially, sounds for us are FUSED directly to a memory. When I walk outside, if I hear a bird chirping, as long as I have seen the kind of bird that makes the sound before one or two times, I can "see" the bird that makes it. I don't only hear it. I know what kind of bird it is, if I know what it's called, and know what it looks like. I can also mimick sounds with my own voice in any language whether I know the language or not, somewhat accurately, just from hearing it one time. I don't know a lot of other people who I've noticed can do the same in the way I do, but I noticed Devin has the same talent, we share an ability to identify sounds by linking them to an emotion or a memory. Hearing the same tone later triggers the memory instantly, even after a long time has passed. It's like smelling a familiar smell that makes you remember something from long ago, except we only have to do it once or twice to remember it with complete accuracy forever. I would bet money he is good at remembering music or has some sort of music related past or talents because I think that's where my ability comes from. I was involved in music making throughout most of my childhood which made my ability to recognize nuance in pitch and intonation very sharp and ingrain. And music and sound moves me emotionally, and emotions are something that form within us a strong memory. I'm betting Devin would describe his ability similarly if he were to be asked. Sorry this was so long but this was just to explain why I chose which actors I chose in my original comment to talk about. The commonality is they are all actors I know from other works that he also did. I should have mentioned that, apologies. Now, if I were to hear a young Jason Weaver's voice in another artwork even today, I'm sure I could link it to young singing Simba. I remember sounds forever. Hope that clears things up.
My brother and I are taking our mother to see this in theaters tomorrow evening for the 30th anniversary. I was only three when this movie came out and it’s been my favorite ever since.
I like how she said bless you in the beginning when Simba sneezed 😂😂😂😅😊 so sweet LMAOO I didn't even notice he sneezed until now after times after watching lol
One great thing about the casting of this movie is that James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair the king and Queen from Coming to America which came out in 1988 they are the King and Queen here and this came out in 1994
Yess Mufassa is the King from coming to America, and Mufassa’s wife is voiced by the Queen from coming to America, they brought them both back together for this
You can simply tell it's old disney REAL DISNEY, by the fact every single animation, SOUND, VISUAL and SONG OOZES WITH LOVE OF THE CRAFT!!!! Nowadays.... DISNEY IS A FECKING HUUUUSK OF WHAT IT SHOULD'VE BEEN!!!!
its really refreshing to see someone take this movies themes and values on a naturalistic level, rather than getting all political and cynical with it. This is a film about balance, about stepping into the roles in our communities that only we can fill, about overcoming our past and meeting our destiny surrounded by our people. and how the world around us can thrive when we give it the respect it needs. this is in my humble opinion one of the finest traditionally animated films of all time and it always gives me the feels:)
If you notice that Scar's voice is a bit different during the last part of Be Prepared is that it wasn't Jeremy Irons who sung it. His voice got destroyed when he did "You won't get a sniff without me!" so Jim Cummings (who voices Ed the Hyena and is the voice of Pete, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Razoul, Ray and several other Disney and non-Disney voies) stepped in to complete the song.
New subscriber here but I've seen your reactions! The Lion King was the first ever Disney movie I saw and I fell in love with it. It still shocks me to hear that some people have never seen it. Whoopi Goldberg does play the main hyena, Shenzi. The amazing James Earl Jones also does the voice for Darth Vader. Great reactions!
Loved the Lion King! I hope you guys get a chance to react to the second one and there's also a 1/2 and the Lion Guard (spin-off series). I've always loved everything about the Lion King!
Pumbaa is one of the first, if not THE first animated character that passed gas, which put an end to a formely taboo subject of fart jokes and opened up the floodgates for flatulence humor in media, family friendly or otherwise, such in the Shrek movies.
Zazu's voice is done by Mr. Bean himself, Rowan Aktinson. When he recorded his lines, he had never been to Disneyland or Disney World, so the directors had to teach him how It's a Small World After All goes.
Scar may have been at least indirectly been responsible for the disappearance of the prey animals around Pride Rock, but I don't think you can blame him for the WEATHER...
Not you mixing up my 2 fave disney movies in the beginning 😅😅😅 but so happy you final are watching it! I grew up in a Disney house lol and still love it just as much if not more at my grown age😊 im a disney head!!❤❤❤

That’s what I find out when I first saw coming to America on Netflix almost 10 years ago.
I find it incredibly ironic. He voiced one of the WORST fathers and one of the GREATEST fathers in cinema. That’s quite a resume.
Not gonna lie when I found this out my immediate thought was "damn Eddie Murphy should've been simba" lol
I cannot believe that he disregarded the important line the Circle of Life, “When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass.”
I don’t mind recognizing voices and appreciating how great they sound, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of attention to the important lines.

Fun fact: the voice of sirabi (simbas mum) is also the actress who plays the queen from ‘ coming to America’.

The opening theme song in Lion King was sang in Zulu, a South African language, before the song The Circle of Life
Funny thing is, when talking about the stars, Pumbaa isn't wrong 😂
Pumbaa is one of the first, if not THE first animated character that passed gas, which put an end to a formely taboo subject of fart jokes and opened up the floodgates for flatulence humor in media, family friendly or otherwise, such in the Shrek movies.
"King of the jungle;" is wrong, actually. Lions live in the savanna, not the jungle.
Seeing this in the theater was magical.
Zazu's voice is done by Mr. Bean himself, Rowan Aktinson. When he recorded his lines, he had never been to Disneyland or Disney World, so the directors had to teach him how It's a Small World After All goes.
This movie my me cry the most my childhood ❤😢
Hans Zimmer changed my life.
The Power of One soundtrack is like a rough draft of The Lion King score❤❤❤

Oh its that famous "kimba white lion" parody)
Damn good classic movie, glad you enjoyed bro. Love this channel, y'all are great
Omg I love this movie, thanks for reacting
Please bring Lion King 2, it's really good too 🥰
lion king will always be the greatest disney movie of all time
I remember when I first started watching the lion king the part when scar killed mufasa in purpose was really heartbreaking.
My favorite Disney movie is the Lion King 🦁❤️
When Nala and Simba Saw The Elephant graveyard Scar Wasn't kidding Scar was right The Elephant graveyard is a dreadful place
“You can tell this an older movie” lol bc it’s hand drawn, not computer animated
Makes sense lol
This was the first ever cartoon i watched when i very young i really liked it i have the trilogy
Timon is actually a Meerkat
Scar may have been at least indirectly been responsible for the disappearance of the prey animals around Pride Rock, but I don't think you can blame him for the WEATHER...
Great reaction you guys! I broke this vhs as a kid always wanting to re watch it. My parents hated this movie after 100+ watches
The music in this movie is beyond amazing..🔥
I like your reactions so much, I hope you continue!
Thank you!! That’s the plan!
Awesome movie
Zazu was Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) that British actor and Comedian
