[quote="hey101hey"]Well, it has been 20 years since I saw it in theaters. Unfortunately I missed the two re-releases. I really hope that disney does another re-release.....[/quote]
Well perhaps in 5 more years for Lion King's 25th anniversary
[quote="hey101hey"] This part is very blatant, but there's a tie in between lion king and the movie hercules! In the disney adaptation of hercules the lion herc defeats is none other than scar![/quote]
I got a big kick out of that.
[quote="hey101hey"]Cam Clarke is famous in the gaming world for portraying Liquid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, but he also did the singing voice for simba in SP and the voice of simba in kingdom hearts 2.[/quote]
He is also Simba's T.V. voice, or perhaps it would be best to say that he is the guy Disney calls when they can't get Matthew Broderick.
[quote="hey101hey"]The Avengers is technically a disney film, as Disney purchased marvel a few years back. What most don't know is that in the digitally re-created NYC, right before captain america talks to the two cops you see a poster for the lion king broadway musical.[/quote]
I noticed that that the 2nt or 3rd time I saw the movie in theaters. I kind of thought that had been done deliberately, now I know it was done very deliberately. That is awesome.

Awesome Clip.
[quote="hey101hey"]Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, made by developers Retro Studios located in austin texas has a level seemingly inspired by the lion king

Yes I'd say the game designers that made that level definitely saw and liked The Lion King
[quote="hey101hey"]There are a lot of controversies surrounding the movie, one of the strangest ones is how some people got angry seeing the zebra meat being eaten by the hyenas. But somehow there was no outrage of sarabi being slapped pretty hard at the end. Strange.[/quote]
I never understood how anyone could be upset about the zebra (which in the DVD Commentary they sad was made to look like a ham and the hyenas were shown to be eating neck ties). Hyenas are carnivores and zebra are one of the animals that they prey upon. It's not like it showed the lionesses take the zebra down. I don't see the problem.
As for Sarabi being slapped perhaps no one is up in arms about that because Simba defeats Scar after that. I am sure he was still angry with what Scar did to his mother as well as everything else while they fought.
