The Lion King Pitch Meeting

Ойын-сауық

Step into the Pitch Meeting that started Disney's classic The Lion King! Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
Disney’s original Lion King movie from 1994 is one of the most beloved animated kids movies of all time. It made so much money that Disney is making it again! This time in “live-action” which essentially means very good CGI. Although the original is a classic and characters like Simba, Nala, Mufasa, Zazu, Scar and more are iconic now -- the movie isn’t without its questionable moments. Like what’s up with Scar controlling the weather? Why is the brother-sister romance so… romanticized? Why are lions even kings? To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Lion King. It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    I always took the "I can't wait to be king" song as high-lighting Simba's naivete. He doesn't really understand what he's asking for as he's just a selfish child.

    Kings can step down and pass on the throne willingly though right? 🤔 Genuine question, I feel like that's a thing but I'm not too sure.

    @@wayneb6583 They are king, they can do what they want. Lion wise when Simba got strong enough he'd just run Muffasa off, after he himself was ran off as male lions tend to do as the young males get older. Since it is Disney once he got old he likely step down. Either way Simba was a child and didn't think about what has to happen to become king, only one day he will be king which is common with kids.

    i remember as a kid watching this movie in the 90s i didnt fully understand that mufasa had to die for simba to become king so the thought behind the song never caught my attention. only thought it was a good song with a beat beat to it. but after being more grown up you begin to realize what songs can mean in a different way. back then the song was just a good song and you cheered simba on and was like i cant wait for that to happen. not fully understanding what has to happen 1st. in my eyes there could be 2 kings. simba and mufasa. didnt know there could be only 1

    I think the implication of Just Can't Wait to be King was that Simba didn't fully understand death, or the idea that a king can die. Zazu says "What you don't realize--" before he's cut off. He was going to explain the concept to him. Later on Simba asks his dad if they'll always be together. Mufasa explains the stars. Simba thought that his dad would just retire.

    That's probably the intent, but logically speaking it wouldn't actually have that effect- its far more likely that scar just got unlucky and had a long draught during his reign. Overhunting would just make animals scarce, it wouldn't affect the weather, water or vegetation and turn an area into a barren wasteland.

    Hey, i dunno if you'll see this out of the other thousands of comments, but none the less, i just want you to know mate, that what you've created over the past few years is literally, a modern work of art. You've made millions of people laugh and smile and most importantly, want more. You're a very charismatic gentleman. A good hearted man, with so much to offer. No matter how crappy things may get, or seem to be getting, as long as you surround yourself with real people, who really care for you, you'll be alright. Things will be alright! - A fan from the UK

    Producer Guy: You know, I've been focused so much on the plot you told me that I forgot the characters' names. Can you repeat them for me? Screenwriter Guy: Sure thing. You've got King Mufasa, his wife Sarabi, his son Simba, and his daughter-in-law Nala. Then, there's Timon the Meerkat, Pumbaa the warthog, Zazu the bird, and Rafiki the baboon. Producer Guy: Okay, those all sound perky. But what's the evil uncle's name, again? Screenwriter Guy: Scar. Producer Guy: Wow, Scar? Just-just Scar, huh? Did you find that in the dictionary? Screenwriter Guy: Actually, I wrote down that he was born "Taka" which means "garbage" in Swahili. Producer Guy: Ouch. Did his parents hate him? Screenwriter Guy: Probably. Producer Guy: Oh, giving your child a terrible name is TIGHT! I'm planning to name mine "Idiot". Screenwriter Guy: Whatever floats your boat. Producer Guy: Why give him an English name, though? Shouldn't his name be "Kovu" or something? Screenwriter Guy: Well, I tried that, but I thought it would work better applied to a future character in the sequel. Producer Guy: Sequel? Screenwriter Guy: Yeah, this movie will hopefully make both of us a lot of money. Anyways, I also thought giving the villain the most obviously evil name ever would work for the audience. Producer Guy: Man, imagine that applied to other Disney villains. I would take Ursula more seriously if her name was actually Hag. Screenwriter Guy: Wait until you get a load of the hyena names. Producer Guy: What do you mean? Screenwriter Guy: I originally thought of making them all sound exotic, but I threw my intern a bone by naming one after him. Producer Guy: What do you mean? Screenwriter Guy: His name's Ed. So, I just named one of the hyena characters Ed. Producer Guy: Wow wow wow wow...wow.

    So, that part 4:25 might be a bit exaggerated in the movie, but when apex predators such as lions are removed from an ecosystem this can cause a cascade of negative effects to the environment, such as loss plant diversity, soil erosion, and overall loss of biodiversity. This happens because apex predators regulate the populations of lower level predators and grazers, keeping the "balance" in the circle of life if you will.

    I think the reason Scar let Simba run awat instead of killing him then and there as a child is maybe because, at that time, Simba liked Scar, so Scar didnt want Simba to get the impression that he is actually evil. That might have ruined his plan. If Scar tried to kill him then and there and Simba managed to escpe, he would already know the true identity of Scar. But since Scar asked Simba to run first, Simba wouldnt know that it was Scar who sent the hyenas to kill him
