May I suggest reacting to BIKER BOYZ with laurence fishburne as smoke the king of Cali based on a real street racer or TORQUE it's like FAST AND THE FURIOUS but with motorbikes with ice cube both movies are fantastic
bro honestly this era of Disney animation was by far the MOST PEAK, the main reason for that tho was because they made these films (Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Little Mermaid, etc..) with the expectation of it going onto Broadway/
A common theory is that when scar said "long live the king" the fear in mufasa's eyes wasn't for him but for his son because he now knows the lengths his brother will go for the throne and he fears for his son....
if Mufasa had one weakness, it was his comradery with Scar. He seemingly never discovered his brother's alliance with the hyenas nor his envy for the throne, until it was too late.
@@nathancruz9172didn’t the first trailer get absolutely destroyed by fans. That movie should have been a 2d animation movie and not live action. I know Disney doesn’t do 2d animation anymore but I feel it would have suited it better.
The man threw out his voice singing Be Prepared and Jim Cummings had to step in to do the rest of the song. If that isn't dedication to the craft I don't know what is.
Circle of life song is written in Zulu which is mostly spoken in South Africa as well as Xhosa. The beginning of the song translation is "Here comes a lion, father, Oh yes it’s a lion."
The Lion King is an absolute classic that never gets old No matter how many generations pass, it will always be a movie must to be seen This was literally considered the Peak of animation in Disney from the animation, the plot, the soundtrack and the voice actors Everything was on point... Also Props to James Earl Jones (darth vader) himself and (Jeremy irons) for voicing to the most iconic characters of all time.
I know right it’s my favorite Disney movie and no matter how many times I watch it or Oliver and Company. They never get old or boring like this is beautiful. I love it so much.❤❤❤❤
Saying Simba isn't as strong as mufasa was, or his presence isn't as strong as mufasa is totally accurate with the story, Simba has literally been laying around with Timon and Pumba all his life, wat did u expect
This is one of the greatest Disney movies of all time. It has the best songs, awesome casts, important lessons and funniest moments. Long live the King 🦁🦁🦁🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤴🤴🤴🤣🤣🤣
I always get emotional watching The Lion King. My father was so excited to watch this with me stream I was a child.. he passed away a few years later. I remember him crying to scene of Mufasa dying…I absolutely love this movie! You guys souls react to The Prince of Egypt next, if you want amazing animation and music! It’s about the story of that biblical character of Moses.
Second that! There aren't near as many reactions to TLK2. The sequel does live in the shadow of the original (it was released direct to video; no theatrical debut) and it shows, but the themes feel right, and the story is just as Shakespearean.
The funny thing is Ursula flat out told Ariel the consequences and nearly won Jafar got what he wanted but was outsmarted and Scar actually killed the king and got what he wanted but turned on the ones that followed him and in the end got his comeuppance
I have to throw Frollo ( I think that's his name) from Hunchback of Notre Dame. He killed his mom, treated Quasi like his puppet, manipulated and lied to him. Killed hundreds of Gypsys, or ppl that looked like it, etc. Just throwing his name in the ring.
Always looking forward to your reactions ❤ y’all have to watch lion king 2 with Simba’s daughter. I think that’s the best one in my opinion and very underrated!
"The Lion King" has many details in common with "Hamlet", the famous novel by Shakespeare. For me, it´s the best animated film ever, with one of the best OST ever composed (by the great Hans Zimmer). ALWAYS touches my heart in some scenes. It´s a truly masterpiece.
And also, the voices casting it´s incredible; starting with Mufasa (James Earl Jones, who was the voice of Darth Vader among another epic roles), and Scar (Jeremy Irons).
This is my favorite Disney movie. 90s Disney animation was top tier. Little mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & the beast, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas. I miss 2D animation
The timing for this is crazy. I've recently been watching reactions of The Lion King and today i watched 2 reactions before seeing RTTV upload this. Thank you RTTV!
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this 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 and Johnathan Taylor Thomas' line delivery. 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 Pumbaa: Slow-Witted Zazu: Movement Shenzi: Savage Banzai: Skulk or lurk Taka (Scar's original name): Waste Timon (His name actually comes from Greek): Respect or Honor
The Lion King is my favorite Disney film, it has the best direction, best introduction and original songs, best script and 2D at its best. Too incredible!
I love this movie and lion king 2! I used to watch both back to back all the time growing up. The soundtrack is soo bomb. Peak disney when it came to sound tracks.
Idk if u guys have already seen the live action, (If u have) then, u should watch the show of their son, "The Lion Guard", just one episode to see how u like it. Cause the live action one was cooler to me cause it's REAL ANIMALS, and when I was younger the show was cool to me. (If u havent) then u should react to it aswell, But this is just a suggestion! Love yall reactions🫶🏾
ICONIC!!!! The live action was unnecessary and really didn't bring the story to life for me. Lion King 2 is also sooo good! The music and the storyline is iconic as well
Another factor that helped beauty and the beast, lion king and etc Was elron john and tom rice worked on both films scores and helped write the lyrics for most of the songs for lion king and beauty and the beast.
One detail that's easy to miss is that when Rafiki finds adult Simba, this is actually the first time Simba has properly met Rafiki (his prior appearance was in the prologue, which Simba was too young to remember). So when a crazy old "baboon" appears out of nowhere one night and drops a name Simba hasn't heard in _several years?_ Simba didn't know he was an old friend of the family.
Hope you react to Beauty and the Beast next. Personally, my favorite of the Disney Renaissance era. Also, hope you react to the old classics beginning with Snow White to see how much they hold up today. Thanks! Keep up the great work as always, RTTV crew! ❤
Crazy how beloved Disney were in the 90s, all the films from that era especially the early 90s are loved. Now it feels no matter what Disney do they’re pretty much hated. I can see why with certain things they push but I do feel the hate goes overboard. I do agree with the live action being crap cash crabs.
FUN FACT: Disney thought Pocahontas would gross more money than Lion King and decided that the top animators at the time, would work on that movie. while the budgets for both movies were pretty high somewhere in the millions Disney felt the Princess movie would be better. As of today Lion King grossed over 1.6bil and Pocahontas 300mil
6:01 So in the Special Edition of the movie released in 2003, the Morning Report is a musical number with a new kid as Simba’s singing voice, because Jason Weaver was obviously too old to play Simba again.
Love both films immensely. I find myself rewatching Aladdin more often but I agree the music in Lion King is phenomenal. The story of course is great...it is Hamlet with lions. So of course it is top tier. I appreciate Scar as a villain because he is one of the few that actually sees their goals accomplished. But his biggest mistake was being too hands-off. If he had just taken out young Simba himself after the stampede, he would have been good 😅 No one would have known but the hyenas, and they wouldnt have told anyone. As for Jafar, you gotta give it to him, he did almost everything himself...even played multiple characters to try to achieve his goal 😭🤣🤣🎉
A classic that still holds up and is still beloved by many 😎. Watching this and Hunchback numerous times as a kid is probably what birth my love for media that can have a good balance of action, comedy, and drama. While also being a bit edgy or dark, and having suspense, romance, and likable characters 😎.
25:20 that scene wasnt in the original script, that was just an improv outtake by Nathan Lane, and they decided to turn that into a whole scene because they thought it was really funny
Is Lion King The Best Disney Movie?? Watch The Full/Uncut Of This On Patreon + Watch Monster Inc That JUST Released! www.patreon.com/rttv_
no cause this was the most boring reaction i EVER SAW.. you guys are stone cold and boring to watch.
@@lofvee me of i was toxic and born in the 21st century LMAO:
May I suggest reacting to BIKER BOYZ with laurence fishburne as smoke the king of Cali based on a real street racer or TORQUE it's like FAST AND THE FURIOUS but with motorbikes with ice cube both movies are fantastic
it's the best, but love brother bear too so close between the two of them.
Lion king 2 reaction please
bro honestly this era of Disney animation was by far the MOST PEAK, the main reason for that tho was because they made these films (Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Little Mermaid, etc..) with the expectation of it going onto Broadway/
It was
Man I wish Hunchback’s show with Michael Arden actually made it to Broadway
Tarzan is super underrated
Brother bear is probably my favorite and lilo and stitch ..it’s hard to pick a favorite.
A common theory is that when scar said "long live the king" the fear in mufasa's eyes wasn't for him but for his son because he now knows the lengths his brother will go for the throne and he fears for his son....

@@Stratelier exactly 👌🏻
Live action will never be as good as this no matter how hard they try
Unfortunately, they’re making a prequel for the origins of mufasa in live action.
@@nathancruz9172 And movie already has its own retcons
@@nathancruz9172I’m actually excited cause i wanna know the relationship between Scar and Mufasa
@@nathancruz9172didn’t the first trailer get absolutely destroyed by fans. That movie should have been a 2d animation movie and not live action. I know Disney doesn’t do 2d animation anymore but I feel it would have suited it better.
@@biancaeze14not in live action lol
For me, I think the fact that Simba really cared for his uncle makes the betrayal 1000 Xs worse!!!
Jeremy irons Absolutely nailed it as Scar With his voice and exelent performance most iconic villain in cenema.
29:16 of course, he is.
Scar defo isn’t the most iconic villain in cinema. He’s a great villain tho, but the likes of Vader and Joker are more iconic.
The man threw out his voice singing Be Prepared and Jim Cummings had to step in to do the rest of the song. If that isn't dedication to the craft I don't know what is.
@@destinymcintire2188 Jeremy Irons had vocal problems.
You should watch The Borgias then he is great there too and his voice so devilish as he play the pope

And still to this day, the soundtrack is unfuckingbelieveable. They did not need to go so hard but they did. Timeless
Me and my sis were literally just talking yesterday about how "Be Prepared" is one of the best villain songs of all time. Jeremy Irons killed it.
@@Kladyos Oh, interesting. Well, they both did a fantastic job, then!
This is one of the greatest Disney movies of all time. It has the best songs, awesome casts, important lessons and funniest moments. Long live the King

Ursula is a top tier Disney villain too, her scar and Jafar are top 3. The order is up for debate
The funny thing is Ursula flat out told Ariel the consequences and nearly won Jafar got what he wanted but was outsmarted and Scar actually killed the king and got what he wanted but turned on the ones that followed him and in the end got his comeuppance

Legendary movie of all time ❤😢
My dad loves the 🦁 king.

@@edwardkimakaballislifekim_578 fair enough. I love 💕 the lion 🦁 king, since I was a kid.
@@nathancruz9172 same
Brother Bear next!
Such an underrated Disney film!!!
This movie still looks better than majority of cgi movies in 2024 after so many years what a legendary movie
Finally, been waiting for this one, I love this movie so much, one of my favorite Disney film ever. And here's to 30 years of The Lion King
I hope you guys do the 2nd Lion King next. I don't see a lot of people reacting to it and it was also good. Lion King 1 is always gonna be an icon
4:13 Mufasa and Sarabi: “(Individually and nonverbally to Simba) I’m *SO* proud of you”
Actually, Rafiki was the Shaman ^^
Also that bug eating scene always makes me want gummy worms XD
Me too. But, the real 🐜. 🤮
Always looking forward to your reactions ❤ y’all have to watch lion king 2 with Simba’s daughter. I think that’s the best one in my opinion and very underrated!
I watched this so many times I knew the dialogue.
Me too.
Same. I know it word for word, bar for bar.
Rob: Deku is so Disney.
Actual Disney: 💀
He's dumb 😂
Can you guys do the Hunchback of Notre Dame next?! That is such an underrated Disney film ❤️
My absolute favourite Disney film. Great reaction guys!
"The Lion King" has many details in common with "Hamlet", the famous novel by Shakespeare. For me, it´s the best animated film ever, with one of the best OST ever composed (by the great Hans Zimmer). ALWAYS touches my heart in some scenes. It´s a truly masterpiece.
I just now realize that tamon said dress and drag and do the hoola lmao
Omg Rob said those are actually words in the intro song 😂 🤦 dude the lion king is an African film bruh
And also, the voices casting it´s incredible; starting with Mufasa (James Earl Jones, who was the voice of Darth Vader among another epic roles), and Scar (Jeremy Irons).
I usually don’t like watching reactions after someone has seen the movie but this was fun!!!
You guys should watch “Tangled” next. It’s another great Disney movie.
This is my favorite Disney movie. 90s Disney animation was top tier. Little mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & the beast, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas.
I miss 2D animation
The timing for this is crazy. I've recently been watching reactions of The Lion King and today i watched 2 reactions before seeing RTTV upload this. Thank you RTTV!
I love that y’all watching these classic Disney movies. Brings me back to my childhood. Keep em coming 🔥👏🏽
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this 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 and Johnathan Taylor Thomas' line delivery.
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
Pumbaa: Slow-Witted
Zazu: Movement
Shenzi: Savage
Banzai: Skulk or lurk
Taka (Scar's original name): Waste
Timon (His name actually comes from Greek): Respect or Honor
This compared to what Disney is now is utterly embarrassing
‘Edddddd’ funniest character in the show😂😂that laugh is too much
The Lion King is my favorite Disney film, it has the best direction, best introduction and original songs, best script and 2D at its best. Too incredible!
It’s so crazy that this movie is about to be 30 years old and is still one of the greatest Disney animated films of all time 🦁 👑
I love this movie and lion king 2! I used to watch both back to back all the time growing up. The soundtrack is soo bomb. Peak disney when it came to sound tracks.

ICONIC!!!! The live action was unnecessary and really didn't bring the story to life for me. Lion King 2 is also sooo good! The music and the storyline is iconic as well
4:20 "that shit so fake" aw nah💀

Scar is one of the best villains
25:42
Correction!
He calls for Sarabi.
FUN FACT #2: Jason Weaver (ATL) sings the songs for Simba and still gets royalties til today
It's still amazing that both James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair had played as the Royal Couple in TLK AND Coming to America!
The African languages used in the lion King were: Swahili, Zulu, Sotho, Xhosa and Tswana
Hope you react to Beauty and the Beast next. Personally, my favorite of the Disney Renaissance era. Also, hope you react to the old classics beginning with Snow White to see how much they hold up today. Thanks! Keep up the great work as always, RTTV crew! ❤
I love it when people react to my favourite movies. They are speaking Swahili by the way…the pride lands is somewhere in the Serengeti
watch the second one!!
You can see all their inner child coming out 🥹
Whoopi Goldberg is Shenzi. Mr. Bean is Zazu. Cheech, Matthew Broderick and Jeremy irons...
you’ll should do princess and frog
You guys have to watch lion king 2 next i promise you it's sooooo good
I hope they can watch the sequel one day, it's really good too!
Yes the intro song consists of actual words from the language isizulu,Zulu for short
As well as hakuna matata
🔥🇿🇦
Scar hit the pocket sand move
Wait… after all the years I realized…. How does Timon know what chicken tastes like?
The song of the "Morning report" was not included on this one
Good 😂that song was terrible
Rob is such a vibe killer
You have to watch hunchback of notre dame
Brother bear, treasure planet also have peak animation like lion king
Y'all should ABSOLUTELY do the entire Ed, Edd N Eddy series.
Glad y’all loved this movie, I totally recommend Chicken Little, over the hedge and open season ❤
Disney was on absolute fire in the 90s man I swear
Robert nailed it as Rafiki 😊❤
Lion king 2 next !
Need that incredible 2 reaction 🙌🏿
There was actually a deleted scene where scar tried to come into Nala and she refuses his advances
Crazy how beloved Disney were in the 90s, all the films from that era especially the early 90s are loved. Now it feels no matter what Disney do they’re pretty much hated.

Yall ever watch hunchback of notre dame? Yall should

Disney's The Lion King Trilogy is On Disney +
4:21 what part of that is fake that just means they respect that they have a prince
Great reaction ❤❤ You guys should watch bullet train
6:01 So in the Special Edition of the movie released in 2003, the Morning Report is a musical number with a new kid as Simba’s singing voice, because Jason Weaver was obviously too old to play Simba again.
guys you should of watch schindler list
Scar is deadass like silco from arcane
I feel like you guys would like Togo it’s a live action of Disney’s animated Balto
If yall liked the song a whole new world yall should react to Zayn's version
Awesome video.
bro on the left needa get more sleep at night this kinda getting concerning lmaooo
Love both films immensely. I find myself rewatching Aladdin more often but I agree the music in Lion King is phenomenal. The story of course is great...it is Hamlet with lions. So of course it is top tier.

El mayor logro de la animación 😮
When Nala and Simba Saw The Elephant graveyard Scar Wasn't kidding Scar was right The Elephant graveyard is a dreadful place
Still my favorite Disney movie, but as I got older and realized that Simba and Nala are half siblings it makes scenes awkward haha. Still great movie
Some would have this as their number 1, I wouldn't try to argue with them. Not mine but I could see why it is for others. Upper echelon tier so...
All I can hear is DARTH VADAR voice XD
React to Corpse Bride movie next 🎉🎉🎉
Simba and Nala were siblings!😂
old Disney were so special....they
murdered all the Magic nowdays.
Exactly
