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.

As a child I had this movie memorized word for word, and my friends and I would act out the entire film in the backyard ❤️

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

One of my all time favorite movies! Mufasa dying ALWAYS has me in tears. 😭

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 😂😂

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.

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.

Scar's song is one of the BEST Disney villian songs ever

Jim Cummings, the voice of Ed, personally believes that he is just playing dumb. Way smarter than he presents himself.

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.

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.... :)

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 😂

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Scar is one of the greatest villains of all time. His one of the few personification of hatred. Crazy how Lion King is a kids movie. Also Timon and Pumba are my favorite

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

Great reaction, love it! Thank u!🤩 Can't wait for lion king 2!🤗

One Heyena was Whoopi Goldberg, and the other was Cheech Marin.

"The same guy from Coming to America" Among other roles . . . "Be good Simba, or you'll end up like your half-brother . . . missing a hand . . ." X3

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

Mufasa's voice is Darth Vader voice

The best movie Disney ever made. They will never make another one like that. It's a masterpiece.

Mufasa is the voice of Darth Vader out of star wars.x

Funny how the bug eating scenes make me want gummy worms lol

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:)

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

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

They have a whole broadway show that’s been going on forever for The Lion King! It’s an awesome movie!! The circle of life!! 😁

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.

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...

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.
