Hello there! 👋 I'm a new subscriber to your channel! 😁 Hey, could you do a couple reactions to: *Turning Red (2022)* & *Alita: Battle Angel (2019)* Maybe????
This is the middle (and arguably the peak) of what is called Disney Renaissance. A 10 years period from 1989 to 1999 where all the movies Disney released (From The Little Mermaid to Tarzan) were critical and box-office successes. Everything works in it. The songs are great. The vilain is awesome.The story is engaging. Plenty of iconic scenes. The Lion king truly is a timeless classic. Hakuna Matata.
The irony being that Disney put their "B" team on the Lion King project, while their "A" team worked on Pocahontas (which was ultimately NOT a success).
To this day you could argue that The Lion King is Disney’s greatest movie. Forget how much money was made, just based off of the art, story, execution etc.
This is based off the Shakespeare play Hamlet. This is my absolute FAVORITE Disney movie! I highly recommend watching 1 1/2 and 2 as well. They are all great!
Can agree, definitely look up the sequel! There are not as many reactions to both films as a pair. The sequel picks up (almost) right where the first ends.
It’s not directly based on Hamlet, but the story does take inspiration from Shakespeare and the Bible. They started noticing the similarities as they were developing the story. For example, Scar was originally going to be a rogue lion from outside the pride, but then they thought it would be more interesting to make him part of the royal family so the threat comes from within, so they made him the brother/uncle and that’s when they noticed the parallel to Hamlet.
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
My father passed away when i was pretty young. This movie touched me on a different level. Simba immediately trusting Scars words after his fathers death was so relatable. I adore this movie.
I was in Kenya in 1993 and I picked up some cool Swahili phrases. When I got home, I got to show off for a bit and then the Lion King came out. Every five-year-old knew the exact same Swahili as I did.... damn you, Disney! नव वर्ष की शुभकामनाएँ (trying to learn Hindi and not very good at it)
"Everything the light side touches is ours." "Dad, what about that dark side over there?" "You must never go there, son, or forever it will haunt your destiny."
We've seen many disney death's of villains and family members up to this movie back in the day, but this was kinda ground breaking because they actually showed Mufasa's body and Simba dealing with this grief.
Fun facts: - When Simba got chased out of the Pridelands, it was evening. Every subsequent shot of the Pridelands under Scar's rule is apparently at night, and the land is not seen in daylight again until after Simba takes it back. Mufasa's words about "the sun will set on my time" came true in SO many ways. - Lions and hyenas are indeed hostile towards one another, since their territories (and hunting) tend to overlap and conflict. - Hyenas are _extremely_ matriarchal: it is subtle, but Shenzi is actually the leader. - Ed may be the punchline of the hyena trio, but there are some clues he's probably _not_ as dumb as he looks (he just has a speech disability). While Shenzi and Banzai were busy telling food jokes, Ed was the first to notice young Simba and Nala making a run for it. - It is typically 7 years from one generation of lions to the next. Lions reach adulthood by about 2 years, and start becoming old after 10. Simba may have spent about 3 years in exile with Timon and Puumba. - The social structure of a lion pride can be complex: though rare, lionesses CAN organize to reject/oust their dominant male.
It's so refreshing seeing someone react to this movie for the first time! The Lion King has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember; I probably watched it for the first time when I was 1 or 2 years old so I don't remember ever being unfamiliar with it.
I saw this the first time when I was 4 and I don’t remember being that emotionally affected by Mufasa’s death…fast forward to this past year, showing it to my 3-year-old. I’m trying desperately not to bawl my eyes out, while she’s confused while I’m upset. I think a lot of the heavy stuff goes over kid’s heads when they’re little, but the bigger themes hit harder as one gets older
There's also a bit of not quite contoversy, but there is a Kimba the White Lion manga, with a lion cub that looks rather similar. The crew claim they've never heard of it before, but people like to bring that up. 4:28 King of the jungle that lives in the savanna... 16:26 King? I would say a ceratin mustache leader. What with the imagery being so gosh darn subtle. 45:47 It's just lion Hamlet.
Scar's real Name is Taka by the way.. the series *The Lion Guard* tells a little bit more about his past and the theory, he would actually be the king but Mufasa was chosen, because he was considered be better and stuff. Not justify his actions, or motives, but makes it better to understand.
Fun Fact: Jeremy Irons (who voiced Scar) threw his voice when singing "Be Prepared" Jim Cummings (of Winnie the Pooh fame) had to take over and finish the song. From the line "You wont get a sniff without me!" Jim Cummings takes over the vocals but his voice was so similar that the transition is barely noticeable, if at all.
Amazing reaction! I really would love to see you react to the rest of the franchise! I’d do it in this order: The Lion King, The Lion King 1 1/2, The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, and The Lion King Live Action. There is a tv series called The Lion Guard, which follows Simba and Nala’s second born Kion as he becomes the leader of the Lion Guard and protect the Pridelands from their enemies; it takes place during The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride and not long after its ending. Also here’s some trivia; Hyenas are actually part of the feline family and a clan of hyenas are led by a female. Also in the original storyline, they actually had planned for Scar to find Simba besides Mufasa in distraught. Scar would pick him up by the mouth and attempt to kill him. Only to be interrupted by Sarabi and the lionesses, and they would’ve thought Scar had saved him. Simba would grow with Scar being his adviser. However, the production team thought it would best for him to run away in shame, so he’d be more humble and actually grew up from his carefree life style to take his place. 🦁👑🖤💛🧡❤️ RIP James Earls Jones
It's a great kid's film because it is not afraid to use mature themes and scary scenes. Also, the place where the lions live is not a jungle, it's a savanna. The place where Simba lived with Timon and Pumbaa, that's a jungle. "The fight is pretty brutal for a Disney movie." No, it's actually pretty normal. There have been intense fight scenes in a lot of the older Disney movies. Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Tarzan... The modern movie makers just don't have the balls to show something like this to younger audiences anymore.
🦁👍 Nala bears the interesting distinction of being the only non-humanoid Disney Princess of the studio's renaissance era (1989-1999). Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Esmeralda, Mulan, Megara and Jane are all bipeds. 😜
Another dark and beautiful one to watch is Hunchback of Notre Dame, same questions if it's truly a kids movie. The villain is one of the most evil villains in any Disney movie.
26:33 “He looks like he lives in filth.” Remember what he said earlier about perceiving himself to be _smarter_ than Mufasa. I don’t know what _other_ indicators one can look at, but there’s this subdiscipline of biology called ecology which is a study of all the ways an ecosystem is sustained. When Mufasa was telling Simba, earlier, about the circle of life, he was demonstrating an understanding of this. The circle of life. The ecosystem that sustains the Pride Lands. The circle of life must be respected. In other words, that ecosystem must be maintained. You can’t expect the natural world to continue furnishing you with things you subsequently deny it the means to _produce._ Mufasa understood this, and that’s why, under his leadership, the Pride Lands flourished. He taught _Simba_ to understand it, and under his leadership, the Pride Lands flourish _again._ Scar _doesn’t,_ and under his leadership, the Pride Lands come to look as desolate as the elephant graveyard in which the hyenas lived, earlier. That’s what an ecosystem comes to look like if you don’t take _care_ of it.
35:58 “Is this the _elephant_ land? The elephant wasteland? _No._ It’s his _birthplace._ That’s where he was hoisted up. 200 feet up in the air.” This is the state in which Scar’s leadership has left it.
Elton John also does the songs for Road To El Dorado, a DreamWorks animated feature with voices by Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh (among others). You would love it Shree 😉
Hello! Beautiful Shree 🥰 The line in this movie is played over the public address system at Pennsylvania State University,or Penn State for short.It's played to over 105,000 fans at home🏈games in the fall.The line/qoute is 'Hakuna Matata'.I have no idea what it means.🤔Well,afterall their mascot is a Lion.More specific a Nittany Lion.
I have watched may of your reactions, Shree. Never did I think that English wasn't your first language. I assumed that, being Indian, you spoke a language native to India, but you speak English so well that I never questioned that it was your native tongue. This movie was based on Shakespear's "Hamlet." I first saw it while in the military and deployed to Saudi Arabia. I look forward to seeing you react to more movies.
Shree, I was in the US Army when this movie came out, and saw it 5 times in the theater. If you EVER get the chance, you should consider going to Animal Kingdom at Disney world here in Orlando. Not only the safari ride, but the festival of the lion king is a full on Broadway production musical of this movie. You will not be disappointed! BTW, as much of a Star Wars geek I am (I watched a new hope at a drive in theater as a kid back in 77) my favorite movie quote is "the monkey is his uncle?"😂
38:24 “The lionesses have spoken. Oh, I _love_ lions.” It did not occur to me for several years after the _first_ time I saw this movie, but consider, at this point, they’re indicating a fight that’s about to happen between the lions and the hyenas. Now, just how did the hyenas end up exiled to the elephant graveyard in the _first_ place? An epic battle between the lions and hyenas must’ve happened at some point in the _past._ The lions won and they drove the hyenas out of the Pride Lands, _then._ And now, the hyenas were spoilin’ for _another_ fight. 🤷♂ I would like to know just what outcome they expected, _this_ time.
My mom took my brother and I to see The Lion King when it first came out back in 1994. When Mufasa died, my mother turned to my brother and asked if he was ok. My brother, who was 3 years old at the time, said: "I'm ok mommy, it's only the dad who died."
Not only am I "Happy" to share this one with You today🥰I'm also "Proud" of You🫂for choosing this Animated Classic instead of the more-recent Remake.🙏Everything (and I do mean "Everything") about this Original Version was not only Better🤭it was Honestly Perfect!👌All of the Characters (even the Villains) were more Fun💖and Funnier too...😂👍
CONGRATULATIONS ! 🎉👏 Over 11 thousands subscribers WOW!😳.It's not all about the reactions.Yeah! being Beautiful has it perks.🥰I have 2 favorites India native BABES 🇮🇳 Shree,and the very funny,witty,smart, author,tv show producer,actress Vera Chokalingam also know as Mindy Kaling 🇮🇳 Mindy co-starred in the all female Ocean's 11 movie.
I saw this as a kid and it changed my life. Growing up in an abusive household I did not like humans so most Disney movies were just not something to care about. To see a movie without mentioning humans except the voices was just fantastic. It was the first movie I have seen that really showed how family could betray you. That you could find your own family in the end. I could go on and on about this movie. I watched it on Christmas and New year's. I know almost every word line for line. I even saw the Broadway show. I'm so glad you liked it and will share it with others. I loved how you also tied it to your own background and history. If I could rate your review, it would be 5/5. Will read the Historical context you gave.
If you love "silly on the surface, but actually full of empathy and meaning underneath", I can safely say, you're gonna love A Goofy Movie. Yes, *_THAT_* Goofy. It's a plot 'capstone' to the Goof Troop TV series that was running around the same time, an animated sitcom with Goofy as a single parent with a son living the whacky world of suburbia and sometimes beyond. Also, Soldier 1998 with Kurt Russell when? XD
"I see why he's called Scar..." Does anyone else find it demeaning that they call the king's brother by his facial injury? Shouldn't he be given a little more respect? I'm not defending Scar's regicide, but I get why he would be resentful 😅
People mistake animation to = “kids film” there’s a reason the term Family Film exists. A kids film is the Paw Patrol Movie, or the Barbie movies etc. a Family Film is something everyone in the family can enjoy. There’s layers that the kids will enjoy, but things only the adults will get, like some of the jokes and themes, and the complexity of the story or character arcs
Hi Shree , I had fun watching your reaction to the lying king. This is one of my favorite Disney movies. I grew up watching this and Aladdin🧞♂️🦁 I love the songs of this movie like the circle of life. RIP James earl Jones 😢 Just like his character is gone He also voiced darth Vader🖤 I did play scar in The Lion King play in my high school. There is more other lion king movies Including lion king 1/2 And watch the live action lion king 2019. I also watched Mufusa In theaters you'll never win it comes out. Also my uncle has 2 big cats named Simba and Nala and I have 5 cats to . I didn't know you're from India before thanks for sharing about you and I'm from CA part Korean , Samoa.
Watched it as a kid, mufasas death still makes me cry, agree with you that the animators and everything about this movie is amazing, my favourite thing is the music, I watch this movie atleast once a year, crying makes me feel good and I cry easy I'm very emotional 😅
I’ve had occasion to take stock, and determined that there are at least _four_ Disney movies that I saw the original releases of, with which I have since seen CGI/live action _reboots;_ _Pete’s Dragon,_ _The Jungle Book,_ _Beauty and the Beast,_ and _The Lion King_ The CGI animation was used, in each case, with high expectations of the kind of movie it would deliver; a movie that, in each case, has just not measured up. It has led me to stop wasting my time and money on CGI/live action reboots. To that end, I’m glad to see you reacting to the _original_ of this particular movie. On this note, if you haven’t already seen it, and you plan to, I recommend the Disney version of _Beauty and the Beast_ from 1991. It’s _hands-down_ better than the version from 2017. Oh. But you may want to make it a point not to wear makeup at the time.
I accidentally closed the live chat on the premiere and I don’t know how to get it back lol, so I don’t know if anyone has brought this up, but Hamlet was the inspiration for this one! I couldn’t believe it took me so long to learn that! (I only found out a few years ago!)
It's fine to include mature themes like betrayal and coups as long as you present it in a family-friendly manner. If you make it pretty clear visually the basic plot, and it's not gory or sexually explicit or contains bad language, then kids I would say from 6 years or older can basically understand and enjoy the film. Lion King, the Grinch, the Neverending story and others all achieve this. But it's understandable if a small child might find this too hard to handle.
Fact about hyenas that this movie puts their imgae wrong is that they r really smart and they r one of the most important animals in the circle of life. They help clean up the bone scrapes and leftovers kind of like the clean up crew of rhe savanas. I understand though that disney had to have some sort of villan minions so I don't blame them for choosing hyenas especially how they look. But I just wanted to help educate about them as animals because its interesting. Sorry if this was a bit much but if you want to learn more about hyenas there are videos on TH-cam that help educate more about them. Obviously a disney movie is not always reliable for facts like that its more so just a story to help bring joy and give you good life lessons. Also to bring emotions to your life in an animated form for every age including adults because disney is not just for kids its meant to be for all ages.
@@ShreeNation ur welcome I'm glad I could help educate about heyens but I can say this movie is a master piece I love it same with the second one. Also there is an animated series called lion guard it's a good cartoon despite it being mostly for children but it dose add more to the story. I highly suggest it the cartoon has tons of amazing music and realistic facts about animals. Just a suggestion.
I have a very strange relationship with this film, I don't know why, it was over 30 years ago when I saw it in the cinema with my brothers and my aunt and one of us had a birthday. But as a child I never experienced the magic of it like you did here, especially with the music which is really good, although I have to say, in my case in the (German version) the songs are terrible... like, really terrible. But from today's perspective I can say... in my head canon Timon and Pumbaa are a gay couple. 100%
wait isnt english an official language in india due to brittish colonisation ? im just asking i wouldnt know if there are parts where people only speak local tounge and no english at all
oh this is a kids film u didnt grew up with these lets say more grimm toppics but i did i just reached the age of 30 if i look at children films nowadays sure they can be dun but no wonder the jung people are getting dummer and dummer its all wishi washi nowadays i tell ya nobody who is fan of the lion king sicne a young age would ever trust putin or or kim or for the amtter of fact trump and elon becouse we lerned that people who use certain methods and wording arent the best leaders and most ccertainly dont act in the interest of peopl yeh there might be exeptions to this but i bet these people couldnt even tie their own shoe laces if u get what i mean anyhow didnt wantet to get political just comment my thoughts on it the lion king is based on hamlet if i remember correctly wich of couse is a more mature themed piece but this counds for mst older disney moovies If u look up the origins of cinderella and such its rather grimm grimm being a good key word as most of these fairy tales are either Germanic or wiedly sprad and got written down by the brothers grimm they always had a morell in them and a verry dark and bloodie side and where against comon belive not thought for children as an audience greetings from germany

Pocahontas made almost 350 millions on a budget of 55 so making 7 times your budget in sales isn't exactly a failure.

When they were making the movie, they felt it was a mixture of; Hamlet, and Bambi.
So they were calling it, "Bamblet."

35:58 “Is this the _elephant_ land? The elephant wasteland? _No._ It’s his _birthplace._ That’s where he was hoisted up. 200 feet up in the air.”
This is the state in which Scar’s leadership has left it.
Elton John also does the songs for Road To El Dorado, a DreamWorks animated feature with voices by Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh (among others). You would love it Shree 😉
Will check it out 😃
Hello! Beautiful Shree 🥰 The line in this movie is played over the public address system at Pennsylvania State University,or Penn State for short.It's played to over 105,000 fans at home🏈games in the fall.The line/qoute is 'Hakuna Matata'.I have no idea what it means.🤔Well,afterall their mascot is a Lion.More specific a Nittany Lion.
Haha me neither 😆 But I've been quoting it all week!
hey I’m Ryan I have a movie request the movie anaconda and if you can please wear gloves to
so can you please do this request for me
I have watched may of your reactions, Shree. Never did I think that English wasn't your first language. I assumed that, being Indian, you spoke a language native to India, but you speak English so well that I never questioned that it was your native tongue. This movie was based on Shakespear's "Hamlet." I first saw it while in the military and deployed to Saudi Arabia. I look forward to seeing you react to more movies.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching 😊🙏
It's funny she's pointed out all of the things that the new movie Mufasa didn't do well and ruined🤭
40:31 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Bug eating hippie"
I'm stealing that.
Shree, I was in the US Army when this movie came out, and saw it 5 times in the theater. If you EVER get the chance, you should consider going to Animal Kingdom at Disney world here in Orlando. Not only the safari ride, but the festival of the lion king is a full on Broadway production musical of this movie. You will not be disappointed! BTW, as much of a Star Wars geek I am (I watched a new hope at a drive in theater as a kid back in 77) my favorite movie quote is "the monkey is his uncle?"😂
38:24 “The lionesses have spoken. Oh, I _love_ lions.”
It did not occur to me for several years after the _first_ time I saw this movie, but consider, at this point, they’re indicating a fight that’s about to happen between the lions and the hyenas. Now, just how did the hyenas end up exiled to the elephant graveyard in the _first_ place? An epic battle between the lions and hyenas must’ve happened at some point in the _past._ The lions won and they drove the hyenas out of the Pride Lands, _then._
And now, the hyenas were spoilin’ for _another_ fight. 🤷♂ I would like to know just what outcome they expected, _this_ time.
This would make for a fantastic prequel 👌
The rescuers down under is one of my personal favorites I can’t remember if it’s Disney though or not
My mom took my brother and I to see The Lion King when it first came out back in 1994. When Mufasa died, my mother turned to my brother and asked if he was ok. My brother, who was 3 years old at the time, said: "I'm ok mommy, it's only the dad who died."
Haha aww 🥰
Not only am I "Happy" to share this one with You today🥰I'm also "Proud" of You🫂for choosing this Animated Classic
instead of the more-recent Remake.🙏Everything (and I do mean "Everything") about this Original Version was not only
Better🤭it was Honestly Perfect!👌All of the Characters (even the Villains) were more Fun💖and Funnier too...😂👍
Original over remakes anytime 😉 See you at the premiere!!
In this emotinal stuff is what lot of us folks saw as 5 years of age ;) Very glad you are discovering this movie
CONGRATULATIONS ! 🎉👏 Over 11 thousands subscribers WOW!😳.It's not all about the reactions.Yeah! being Beautiful has it perks.🥰I have 2 favorites India native BABES 🇮🇳 Shree,and the very funny,witty,smart, author,tv show producer,actress Vera Chokalingam also know as Mindy Kaling 🇮🇳 Mindy co-starred in the all female Ocean's 11 movie.
Once again you have transported me back to my childhood. I saw this movie hundreds of times as a kid I was born in 1988
I saw this as a kid and it changed my life. Growing up in an abusive household I did not like humans so most Disney movies were just not something to care about. To see a movie without mentioning humans except the voices was just fantastic. It was the first movie I have seen that really showed how family could betray you. That you could find your own family in the end. I could go on and on about this movie. I watched it on Christmas and New year's. I know almost every word line for line. I even saw the Broadway show. I'm so glad you liked it and will share it with others. I loved how you also tied it to your own background and history. If I could rate your review, it would be 5/5. Will read the Historical context you gave.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
This was my favorite movie growing up. Must've seen it about a thousand times, not even exaggerating
I don't blame you 😍❤️❤️
If you love "silly on the surface, but actually full of empathy and meaning underneath", I can safely say, you're gonna love A Goofy Movie. Yes, *_THAT_* Goofy. It's a plot 'capstone' to the Goof Troop TV series that was running around the same time, an animated sitcom with Goofy as a single parent with a son living the whacky world of suburbia and sometimes beyond.
Also, Soldier 1998 with Kurt Russell when? XD
"I see why he's called Scar..."
Does anyone else find it demeaning that they call the king's brother by his facial injury? Shouldn't he be given a little more respect?
I'm not defending Scar's regicide, but I get why he would be resentful 😅
Good point 😅
This is why I miss 2D animation. It was literally a moving painting!
Zazu The Toucan/Hornbill was Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean
That's so awesome!
I was 8 when I saw this in theaters. My sister was 4. Mufasas death messed us up, and it was amazing.
Shree weeping over a monarchy re-establishing power and propagating to continue their reign? I'm shocked! 😉
From a backstabbing uncle? Hell yeah 💯😎
People mistake animation to = “kids film” there’s a reason the term Family Film exists. A kids film is the Paw Patrol Movie, or the Barbie movies etc. a Family Film is something everyone in the family can enjoy. There’s layers that the kids will enjoy, but things only the adults will get, like some of the jokes and themes, and the complexity of the story or character arcs
24:37 I think it's called a savannah
Hi Shree , I had fun watching your reaction to the lying king. This is one of my favorite Disney movies. I grew up watching this and Aladdin🧞♂️🦁 I love the songs of this movie like the circle of life.
RIP James earl Jones 😢 Just like his character is gone He also voiced darth Vader🖤
I did play scar in The Lion King play in my high school.
There is more other lion king movies Including lion king 1/2 And watch the live action lion king 2019.
I also watched Mufusa In theaters you'll never win it comes out.
Also my uncle has 2 big cats named Simba and Nala and I have 5 cats to .
I didn't know you're from India before thanks for sharing about you and I'm from CA part Korean , Samoa.
Thanks for watching 😊🙏
@ShreeNation Happy to always watch your reactions🥰🦁 I hope to see your reaction to the others sequels in future.
If I were you, I would check out Lion King the musical when you ever get a chance in your life.
Will do!
Watched it as a kid, mufasas death still makes me cry, agree with you that the animators and everything about this movie is amazing, my favourite thing is the music, I watch this movie atleast once a year, crying makes me feel good and I cry easy I'm very emotional 😅
Something to drink in Hindi? Nice.
Sarabi in swahili means "Illusion"
I’ve had occasion to take stock, and determined that there are at least _four_ Disney movies that I saw the original releases of, with which I have since seen CGI/live action _reboots;_ _Pete’s Dragon,_ _The Jungle Book,_ _Beauty and the Beast,_ and _The Lion King_
The CGI animation was used, in each case, with high expectations of the kind of movie it would deliver; a movie that, in each case, has just not measured up. It has led me to stop wasting my time and money on CGI/live action reboots. To that end, I’m glad to see you reacting to the _original_ of this particular movie.
On this note, if you haven’t already seen it, and you plan to, I recommend the Disney version of _Beauty and the Beast_ from 1991. It’s _hands-down_ better than the version from 2017.
Oh. But you may want to make it a point not to wear makeup at the time.
Haha noted! Thanks for the recommendation 😍
I accidentally closed the live chat on the premiere and I don’t know how to get it back lol, so I don’t know if anyone has brought this up, but Hamlet was the inspiration for this one! I couldn’t believe it took me so long to learn that! (I only found out a few years ago!)
That's so fascinating!! Thanks for watching 🙏
I always think animated movies lot better than real ones.❤
It's fine to include mature themes like betrayal and coups as long as you present it in a family-friendly manner. If you make it pretty clear visually the basic plot, and it's not gory or sexually explicit or contains bad language, then kids I would say from 6 years or older can basically understand and enjoy the film. Lion King, the Grinch, the Neverending story and others all achieve this. But it's understandable if a small child might find this too hard to handle.
Love your reaction, I hope you react to the sequel “SIMBA’S PRIDE”
Thanks for watching, and for the recommendation 😍
You’re going to adore story of mufasa
I can't wait!
Thank you for your beautiful reaction Shree ❤
Thanks for watching 😊✌️
Another great classic movie reaction. Keep em coming Shree. 🙂
Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed 😊🙏
For something funny, look up Kimba: The White Lion and cue the Spiderman meme 👉👆👈
Will do!
Fact about hyenas that this movie puts their imgae wrong is that they r really smart and they r one of the most important animals in the circle of life. They help clean up the bone scrapes and leftovers kind of like the clean up crew of rhe savanas. I understand though that disney had to have some sort of villan minions so I don't blame them for choosing hyenas especially how they look. But I just wanted to help educate about them as animals because its interesting. Sorry if this was a bit much but if you want to learn more about hyenas there are videos on TH-cam that help educate more about them. Obviously a disney movie is not always reliable for facts like that its more so just a story to help bring joy and give you good life lessons. Also to bring emotions to your life in an animated form for every age including adults because disney is not just for kids its meant to be for all ages.
Thank you for the info :) Hyenas are majestic and intelligent!
@@ShreeNation ur welcome I'm glad I could help educate about heyens but I can say this movie is a master piece I love it same with the second one. Also there is an animated series called lion guard it's a good cartoon despite it being mostly for children but it dose add more to the story. I highly suggest it the cartoon has tons of amazing music and realistic facts about animals. Just a suggestion.
Zazoo is a hornbill
Childhood trauma
Now time for the second!
The cancer thing was crazy.
I was really hoping you would let the intro play out non stop so you could have experienced it to the fullest.
Can you also watch 2-3 to please
We need to go back to real animation
Please reaction to home alone 2 😊 thanks a lot 🙏 💓
Will do definitely 😍
sumba has a relatifly full mane must have been about 4 years
i wouldnt call this fas
I have a very strange relationship with this film, I don't know why, it was over 30 years ago when I saw it in the cinema with my brothers and my aunt and one of us had a birthday. But as a child I never experienced the magic of it like you did here, especially with the music which is really good, although I have to say, in my case in the (German version) the songs are terrible... like, really terrible.
But from today's perspective I can say... in my head canon Timon and Pumbaa are a gay couple. 100%
Hahaha, I can see it 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So you dont have ever watch this movie i love this movie
Animators didnt make it like for 200%
Its just now they do it like for 10. Just look at the life action....garbage
wait isnt english an official language in india due to brittish colonisation
? im just asking i wouldnt know if there are parts where people only speak local tounge and no english at all
Yes English has always been part of our languages after the British but became very popular in the 90s after globalization and privatization.
this green lantern in this show looks like you

Wait until you see the live action Aladdin movie
Can't wait!
oh this is a kids film u didnt grew up with these lets say more grimm toppics but i did i just reached the age of 30 if i look at children films nowadays sure they can be dun but no wonder the jung people are getting dummer and dummer
its all wishi washi nowadays
i tell ya nobody who is fan of the lion king sicne a young age would ever trust putin or or kim or for the amtter of fact trump and elon
becouse we lerned that people who use certain methods and wording arent the best leaders and most ccertainly dont act in the interest of peopl
yeh there might be exeptions to this but i bet these people couldnt even tie their own shoe laces if u get what i mean
anyhow
didnt wantet to get political just comment my thoughts on it
the lion king is based on hamlet if i remember correctly wich of couse is a more mature themed piece
but this counds for mst older disney moovies
If u look up the origins of cinderella and such its rather grimm
grimm being a good key word as most of these fairy tales are either Germanic or wiedly sprad and got written down by the brothers grimm
they always had a morell in them and a verry dark and bloodie side and where against comon belive not thought for children as an audience
greetings from germany
oh and lions are the king of the savanna not the jungle
mute.
"I don't like to cry in front of camera."
This comment came a bit late, and this reaction is all the better for it 🫶
I lost my dad when i was 12. It's okay to cry dear. 🫂
