In this episode, I am joined by Isaac the Media Hunter (along with interruptions by the crew of LionKingHeart Fantasy Films) as we take a look at an obscure animated film that is supposedly a knock-off of Disney’s The Lion King, Golden Films’ The Jungle King.

You never really realize how extensive animated media is. There's always another corner you didn't know about...
Wow! Hewy , Issac AND Benny ALL lost it after what Leonette said.
All it's missing is Mr.Coat, Phantomstrider, Animat, and Nostalgia Critic.
I still love the theme song to Hewy Toonmore’s Animated Movie Review’s Theme Song, Try saying that lots of times it’s really fun.
Still mighty catchy to this day.
All thanks to Jaimetud
The animation is really good too!
@@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB definitely!
Rest in Peace Irene Cara you’ll be missed 💐
I agree, how can anyone be worse than a tyrant just for lying?
17:52 - There's Cam Clarke again.
It's fun to see Benny The Beast and all the other anthro characters in this review, Hewy.
Thanks 😊 !
I don't know if Nostalgia Critic or Phantomstrider will talk about this movie.
I guess it depends if they are not to busy.
I don't get why this movie doesn't explain which country they're in.
Hard to tell if it's in the African Jungle and/or the Amazon Jungle somewhere.
The movie could've explained that to begin with, or even improvise.
Just saying.
That’s the same problem with Simba the King Lion
@@crsproductions2003 Really?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Simba the King Lion not only contains animals that live in Africa but also includes animals from India like the tigers and kangaroos from Australia.
Watch the review on it by Media Hunter and Hewy Toonmore
@@crsproductions2003 Good idea
So this film is sort of an original film while its also trying to be a rip-off of "The Lion King" and possibly "The Jungle Book" without almost trying to be a rip-off?
Along with Man in the Iron Mask.
I guess that's a "Yes" or a "Maybe"!
You are good at pointing these things out.
This is shocking but this movie was made in 1992 when lion king was made in 1994
@@RandomProductionss So, did Lion King rip-off The Jungle King??
Dexter The Nostalgia Toonster no the lion king used to be play way before any of this
*Im surprised that Phelous didn’t review this with you guys it’ll be awesome that he did this Jungle King review😂*
Nah, I'm not on his level.
@@Hewylewis Oh well 🩵💙❤️🤍
33:01 - 33:29: "It's one thing to take the Palace, it's another to get everyone to listen to you." That explains a lot on so many movies involving a bad guy trying to usurp the throne. At least in the Lion King (and it's remake), Scar managed to take the throne, by dealing away with Mufasa and Simba. This gives him the perfect opportunity to give a speech, making the Pride of Pride Rock feel depressed over the loss of their King, and would then be watched under Hyenas who Scar has been working with the whole time. By the time Simba returned as an adult, Scar's plan starts to fall apart, especially when the truth came out; leading to the Pride turning against Scar for the betrayal and murder of his own brother.
For Aladdin, yes, Jafar wants to rule Agrabah, but unfortunately, he fails to convince everyone to join his cause. The only way he would do this is to hypnotize the Saltan so that he can do whatever he wanted. By the time Aladdin exposes Jafar for taking control of the Sultan, Jafar is now labeled as a traitor. So, even if Jafar got the lamp to become Saltan, Everyone is not going to forget what he did before, which is why Jasmine said they'll never bow to Jafar, leading to the villain having a hissy fit and become a Sorcerer controlling everyone.
So yeah, I totally agree with this. You have to plan things out before you actually get what you wished for.
I love that they mention the Three Caballeros. That’s my favorite Disney movie
6:18 Did that LION (you know; a strictly CARNIVOROUS animal) just eat a thing of BANANAS?!?!?! 😳😬🤯🙄😃😂😭
My family had the VHS for this when I was a kid, and I can agree with the points you made. Sure, it’s not as good when looking back, but it’s harmless. Whether it’s rose-tinted glasses or not, I can’t help but have a soft spot for this one.
I used to enjoy this movie when I was young, but nowadays, I find it pretty okay. It's not Golden Films' worst, but it's still not as good as Disney's the Lion King in terms of animation quality. Sure, it has its flaws, but I still enjoyed it for what it is. I mean, it's nowhere near as bad as their own adaptation of the Hunchback of Notre Dame (the one with the talking musical instruments). Great review btw!
The Lion King is a rip off of Kimba the white lion
@@blueberrypitbull87 I’m sure it was just a coincidence.
21:24 - 21:28 Wait, that's the same music used for the Golden Films logo!
You’re right it does 🩵💚❤️
I saw the movie and I was so confused
I guess this film isn't the worst or the best.
If you ever think of making a Top 10 Cartoon Guilty Pleasures list, this would be part of the list of animated/cartoon Guilty Pleasures.
Just letting you know if you were planning on doing that.
Maybe.
I'll let you think about it.
Have a nice day, Hewy Toonmore.
I totally agree with Hewy about the comparisons between Max and Irwin. And even back when I was a kid, I don't know how they couldn't tell them apart when I, as an audience member, ironically does. Kind of a Prince and the Pauper plot point in my opinion.
So do I.
I saw the title and got really confused because I thought this was a review of Leo the Lion: King of the Jungle. But apparently that one was made by Jetlag Productions and distributed by GoodTimes Entertainment whom I mistook with Golden Films because GoodTimes distributed some of their movies.
31:25
I remember blown away, pulp fiction, more than the lion king.
I also have to say that the villain being a hyena kind of brought to mind of one of the earlier drafts for the Lion King where a hyena, named Banagi, was going to be the main villain, or at least be a major antagonist.
I'm not saying I'm pro-chancellor but I am saying that since it seems to be acceptable for different species to get together without any notice or hassle, it would have been nice for that to happen. The twin brother thing was excessive, adding a Prince and the Pauper thing to a bloated story. Lionette does deserve a good partner, so they could have written a decent one. They didn't need so many villains and antagonist heroes
here we go again
Is that whole golden films donating to children thing actually true?
I know I should have said this years ago but I say that this Lion King "knock-off" is better than the CGI/live-action Lion King!
6:18 SRSLY THO; WHY TF IS A *LION* EATING *BANANAS* ?! 🤯🙄😂
Forget about WHEN Sigeeyai will spring the movie on you; what about WHAT it might be? It could be something by Video Brinquedo, Spark Plug Entertainment, or even Dingo Pictures!
It's late but R.I.P. Irene Cara. Great Actress Great Singer
Could you do a brief review about, “The Lion King,” remake?
I have a Patreon goal for that, which hasn't been reached yet.
@@Hewylewis Keep trying your best.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Thanks. As soon as I get a new computer, I'll get back to work on reviewing! :D
@@Hewylewis Okay.
Good luck.
@@Hewylewis How do you know that movie isn't Count Sigeeyai's surprise?
I didn’t know Huey knew Manny and Leo
Not sure if you knew this for forgot to mention, but Leonette's brother is voiced by Townsend Coleman, the original voice of Michelangelo. So with Cam Clarke and Townsend Coleman, it's a bit of a TMNT reunion.
No, I'm pretty sure that's Cam Clarke, too.
@@Hewylewis I looked up the cast and it mentioned Townsend Coleman so I assumed it was him. If not, my mistake.
Townsend Coleman also voiced Wally in Where's Wally
It's always funny when people claim this is ripping off for lion King, when in fact, the lion King is a rip off of Kimba the white lion
Um, no it's not. It has been proved time and time again that it isn't. Some people still like to use that tired old conspiracy theory as a way to take jabs at Disney.
I feel bad for Irene Cara this film does not do her justice because she had a wonderfull singing voice its shame its not used in this film may she rest in peace
When I start thinking about it, this movie feel a little bit Babar clone. If you ever seen old Babar cartoon,
you may know what I'm talking about.
You can tell just by that cartoon??!
Well I get where your going.
Empero Raj's army is all-tigers. Also "ten of my tigers" is that a Phantom reference? Also Raj's General looks like the Frosties Tiger cosplaying as Piccolo.
Phantom reference, what?
@@Hewylewis Strength of ten tigers. The Phantom in Defenders of the Earth
It's one of those films where the people making it were like "Oh! It's for kids!" But, even though that may be true, it's still not a proper excuse to make it low quality. Though, I will admit that it is relatively harmless. Overall, for me, the film is just "meh".
Yeah, those same people would probably say the same about tripe like Re-Animated, Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka, and Teen Titans Go!
@@artbytesia Yup, saying it's just for kids is no excuse.
What did you mean by "at least he's wearing the big hat"? I don't get the reference.
Neither do I, Tyler Fish.
Neither do I, Tyler Fish.
That was a reference to the Aladdin TV series when Abis Mal always says he is hoping to wear the Sultan's turban (or in this case "the big hat")
@@benthehalfbloodpirate Thanks.
@@benthehalfbloodpirate How'd I not get that reference?
Now I feel dumb!
what game was media hunter ogling at?
I honestly don't remember.
So you have a problem with human characters in a world of talking animals that live like humans.
Have you watched Babar?
Yes, I have watched Babar. But Babar's rules make more sense than this.
He's the elephant wearing a crown and modern cloths, right?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 yeah, that's him.
@@Hewylewis Okay.
Just wanna make sure.
So Golden Films is the Asylum productions of the animated industry.
What's another example?
@@sonofmovienerdking7230 Video Brinquedo and Spark Plug Entertainment, to name a couple.
I read that this movie is set between Africa and Asia.
38:42 What about Baby Einstein
That was owned by Disney from 2001 to 2013
I had this because of a Christmas present and I wanted ninja turtles still funny animation flubs count
I will say this out of all the golden films this is probably the best even though it barely works as a side story line of a movie that takes 90% of the film
I know this may be a late comment but I think this is kind of a knock off of the Lion King and may Irene Cara rest in peace
What? What happened to your previous video?
It got a copyright claim so I had to re-edit it again.
Let me get this streight, you and your friends did a review of this movie in 2016, but got taken down because of copyright problems, so re-uploaded it again the other day, but was taken down again, so now it's now re-uploaded....AGAIN today, right?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 That's the jist of it. Yes. Sorry.
That is okay, I understand that it's not easy trying to get copyrighted without possibly trying to get copyrighted in the 1st place.
Leonette sounds like Good times Beauty. And her brother sounds like Michaelangelo, which I know from Phelous' review of Goodtimes Aladdin
That's because she IS Goodtimes Beauty. I say so in the review. She's voiced by the girl artist sings "What A Feeling" from Flashdance.
@@Hewylewis So they got the girl who sang What a Feeling to play Beauty in a not that good Beauty and the Beast cartoon? There's an irony here.
Also coincidence that Cam Clark voiced simba in lion king 2 and the spin off tv show that came out a year after the movie timon and pumbaa.
@Ryan Ward
I knew that
Mockbuster written all over it.
Irene Cara have done some, acting in the original films of, “Sparkle” and “Fame.”
Also, she provided the voices of Snow White in, “Happily Ever After” and Marilyn in the English-dubbed version, in the German-animated film, “The Magic Voyage.”
cam clarke who rather ironically did the singing voice of simba in the lion king 2 simbas pride
23:17 I know that he says thick headedness but it sounds different remove the th and put a d
Okay 19:00
About how you said Leonette's family wanted Leonette to marry the king so they could move into the palace, I don't know about you, but I think I found a reference to, not a Disney movie, but James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic
This movie was released in 1994.
I know, but I sorta said it as a reference, because to put it in a nutshell, my family and I were watching Titanic one day and in one scene set on April 14th, 1912 (the day Titanic hit the iceberg), my dad said that Rose's mother wanted Rose to marry Calvin Hockley for his money, I just thought it sounded similar to what you said when Leonette's family wanted Leonette to marry the king
@@robertlucido3686 For the last time. Go. Awayt.
Sooooo had to bring it back?
Copyright claim.
@@Hewylewis The fact that someone claimed this movie. Makes me go huh is it that bad? I have seen it but it shows people want it to vanish.
@@jabaribloodbane It was a song I used that got copyrighted, so I replaced it with a text gag instead.
It was because of a song?
Okay, I guess that explains it.
Oh, I guess that is what happened.
Well, hopfully he won't try doing that again.
35:29
They’re fraternal, twins.
This movie came out before half the characters they “copied”
Who says they coped them?
Well I'm glad that the chancellor is a hyena and not a wolf (I'm getting tired of that).
huh?
@@Hewylewis I'm starting to get tired of wolves in media being evil mostly because of those folktales and fairytales this is why I'm happy for animated movies like sheep and wolves and wolfwalkers are movies with good wolves
@@cindydillard1825 In their adaptation of Pinocchio, the crew replaced the Fox for a wolf, although he and the cat are significantly tamer than the book versions
@@bigcreator2084
Well that's kinda odd though
At least this is better movie then the 2019 lion king is
Is it though?
Maybe this is a similar world to Sands of Destruction where humans and animal people co exist. Or maybe Brand New Animal?…….. One Piece?
I got it
4:23 why do people give Ariel grief when this film has the more selfish protagonist? At least Ariel rescued the guy twice and was genuinely a nice person, if a little naive
Um, we never even mentioned Ariel in this review. What are you talking about?
@@Hewylewis I was referring to the fact that they made a Little Mermaid ripoff and many people seem to gripe about Ariel’s character. Not this review. Just bringing it up
1:05 WHOA! Whoa! Can't do that anymore... Frickin' Nazis ruined that hand-gesture for the rest of us.
This Movie has a 5,4/10 on IMDB. Why? This Movie is very bad.
Your opinion, not mine or my friends'.
*I can see why this movie is a Lion King ripoff😂❤*
More 'Man in the Iron Mask' than Lion King, honestly.
@@Hewylewis Yeah hehe😉🩵❤️💚
I know, I am quite late to the party on this, but RIP Irene Cara😞🫡
