I think Lion King had the first dead parent on screen. Having a child interact with the dead body just twists the knife in your heart.

Its true genius when you can express so much anger and then switch 2 so much pain in 1 score

I will be 31 in a couple of months. I saw this film back in 1994 many times. No one can’t imagine how many times I have imagined my self saving mufasa. Since 1994 and to the end of my days, I will always think about it. That’s how this movie marked me.

Hans Zimmer is one of the best composers I have ever listened to, to be honest.

i remember balling my eyes out as a kid in the movie theater. the music was perfect. Hans Zimmer said that he wrote the sound track as a requiem to his father who also died early in his life

As a child, I was not ready for this. Thinking back on it, this scene is very likely to be why I preferred to watch the second movie - because its experience is far less harsh. But what devastated me the most wasn't Mufasa lying dead on the ground. It was him jumping and clawing at the rocky cliff, his noble face distorted in pain and fear - followed by his horror at Scar's betrayal. Because in that instant I could feel the dreaded terror of one's last moments,a terror of childhood that still haunts me today.

I cried so much at Mufasa's death when I first watched it and my mom kept saying that it's just a movie. I avoided watching it a year or two and only watched "Simba's Pride". It still remains the most powerful scenes in the animation history.

When composing this, Hans Zimmer wasn’t that interested in the movie. But then he realizes it was a story about a child losing his father. And then he immediately thought of his own father that died when he was young himself. So Hans made this as a Requiem for his father, that’s why the emotion is very powerful here.

Incredible creation, Hans Zimmer is a Genius with a big G. I've got so much chills... Is it possible to express so clearly an emotion ? So clearly a feeling, without any words....? He proves that, yes we can.

This is so amazing, such drama, such movement, and so incredibly perfect for the scene. This is the music I let people listen when they say Hans Zimmer is overrated!

I never cried while watching this scene as a baby and growing up, I guess cuz I didn’t understand death much. But now that I understand it well and watching this scene along with the sad music and I really adored Mufasa, it has finally made me cry at 19 😭😭

"Scar! Brother help me!" .... "AUGH!" .... "Long live the king!" ! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" !!!!! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *Thump* ...... "Dad?...Dad,come on. You gotta get up...Dad....we gotta go home...HELP! SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!....Help..."

Man, I'm almost 30 and still crying to this song. 🥺😥

This was probably the most powerful and emotional orchestral piece in Disney history and will be for a long time in the future.

This is hands down one of the best pieces of music for any movie. You can feel the emotion in it. From Mufas's frantic race to reach Simba, to Scar's betrayal. Then finally Simba's grief and horror as he believes Scar when he tells him he's responsible I for his father's death. Amazing work, gives me chills and brings me to tears.

very emotional soundtrack

The music in this movie was so amazing

Jesus Christ just that artwork makes me depressed

This scene is so intense I literally have to take a pause in the middle of it! My goodness this is one of the saddest scenes that I've certainly seen and in movie history! Absolutely tragic, it can really break your heart and it does for me! The moment Mufasa falls down is just terrifying just absolutely terrifying! A mix of horror and sadness and seeing Simba up there screaming! Just don't have any words to describe the intensity and horror in that moment! Never forgets that moment when I first saw it! Then when Simba realizes his father is dead and runs screaming for help is where I totally break down honestly! It never fails to give me tears in my eyes even as a grown up now and it does as I am writing this! Poor Poor Simba!😢😢 Every time I see this scene, I always want to jump in there, hug that little guy so much and take care of him and tell him it's gonna be alright!😢😢

Most emotional part of the song 3:19

Un Disney avec une vraie représentation de la mort .

For all of the gravitas of this piece, my inner music-geek always got hooked on the clear tribute to Mozart's Requiem starting around 1:12

Absolutely great composition. One of Hans Zimmer's best :)

At first just a rollercoaster of emotions.And then a sequence of silent tears in heart.Hans Zimmer such a magician.

This is like a rare scene in which I actually cry in a movie. Every time Mufasa dies I can't help but cry. And also, the music is like so epic and sad at the same time which adds to the whole sadness

I don't even remember much of this movie and this song STILL makes me tear up.

Me too

Every music piece that makes my body shiver is written by Hans Zimmer.

The music in Disney movies was so damn theatrical and powerful. It truly was movies for both adults and kids.

Heartbreaking, isn't it?

My heart 💜❤ I love loin king most beautiful movie 😭

Ah, yes, the loin king

It's one of those blood-chilling and breathtaking melodies which stop your heart. The soundtrack is immortal.

This movie and Pokemon Mewtwo strikes back were way too heartcrushing back in the 90s!

I never knew Hans Zimmer composed music for The Lion King. This man is an absolute lunatic creator of themes.

Part of what made The Lion King so great was how they made the audience feel about Mufasa’s death, because of that it made Scars death way more satisfying.

Now we’ll get to see this scene in full CG. Yay.

Wish I was alive and old enough to experience this when it first came out (born January 1995). But I’m glad I discovered it years later.

When the most poweful part started, I felt the same as if I was watching the scene, and when it ended, I started to cry, absolutely a masterpiece,it didn't need visual to transmit the pain and despair to the spectator.

I know simba's pain. I lost my dad too. Now whenever I watch this scene or listen it makes me cry too I miss you dad 😢😢😢😭😭😭

Papá paaapi Román aún lloro como niña tu partida no puedo superar tu partida 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It hurts because the love Mufasa has for his son he literall ran toward the danger against all odds to save him

Bday. I had just turned 9 and was sitting on the floor surrounded with school friends. Aftermat, had left every single kid in tears. Even more so when mom explained the whole death concept to us. This song will make me feel emotions till the day I die. And the imagery from the stampede to Simba settling beneath his dead fathers paw will never be forgotten.

Had a study music playlist going. Wasn't watching youtube, the browser was minimized. First ten seconds, I just FROZE and felt terror and the urgent need to flee. Masterpiece of a score, masterpiece of a movie. So powerful.

Was listening to Disney soundtracks and thought it'd be a good idea to listen to the Lion King. It wasn't. I didn't realize what a huge impact this music had had on me (everyone?) while watching this scene. I literally started crying and sobbing 10 seconds into the track, anticipating what was going to happen next. I can still visualize everything. Also that scene was so deeply impedded in my memory, I remember "somebody" and "anybody" were my first memorized English words. I remember who said them and what intonation it was.
