When Mufasa said "before sunrise, he's your son" is referencing how everything the light touches is the king's, so before sunrise, Simba belongs to his mother lmao
rosestar1324 Wow that’s deep.
Guess she has to get him a glass of water if he wants it, or to the little Cub's room if he has to go. Technically that's accurate as lionesses do all the work and male lions don't do squat.
Tim Maloney Male Lions patrol their territory so no intruders enter. And it’s rare that a male lion hunts prey
@@timmaloney9976 Ah yes, protecting the women and children is "squat"
That's t true bit there's a bit of fact to it as well, male lions take care of the cubs at night while the mother sleeps
I think you missed a win. Simba: when I’m king, what’ll that make you? Scar: a monkey’s uncle later in the film Timon: the monkey’s his uncle?
**G A S P** *_I JUST REALISED THAT_*
I totally missed that when I was little Mostly because in the Latino America dub Scar just said around the lines of "Idiot's uncle" But Timon's lines kept the same but it didn't made the recall.
LOL
Holy shit! I never connected that! Thank you.
I've never noticed that!😮
Fun fact: Scar’s real name is Taka, meaning garbage. Mufasa means king. No wonder Scar is so bitter.
Well that is if you translate the word "Taka" directly from google translation. Taka is short for "Kutaka" which means "want" and Scar "wanted" to be king.
@@GabsARV You can also interpret that his name mrans "wish/want".
That name isn’t canon. According to the lion guard, his real name was Askari named after the first lion guard leader
@@user-sb5bh6qy6l A man of culture as well, I see.
LittleLizzy Plays kzhead.info/sun/lqmvnbeXn3yOaXA/bejne.html This is the canon version.
You, just like Disney with the remake, missed one of the more important wins: Simba: Going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been hiding from it for so long... (Rafiki whacks Simba on the head with his stick) Simba: OW! Geez, what was that for?! Rafiki: It doesn't matter! It's in the past! (chuckles) Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts. Rafiki: Oh, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it. (Rafiki swings his stick, but Simba ducks) Rafiki: Aha! You see? So what are you going to do?
Lesley Harrys 17:38
Mithu Alagu You’re right, thanks for pointing it out. Would have really like to see it pointed out before the conclusion, though. But it’s good to see he did acknowledge it.
He did skip a win that should have been in there, though: Simba's Humor win. Simba: First, I'm gonna take your stick! *grabs stick with mouth and throws it* Rafiki: No, no no! Not the Stick! *runs after it*
You missed a pun. Simba: Hakuna Matata? Pumba: Yeah, it's our motto! Simba: What's a motto? Timon: Nothing, what's a motto with you?!
die?
I remember this one in norwegian, simba asks: what's a motto? Timon: nothing, but it rhymes with lotto When I was younger I just thought I didn't understand it lmao, but it's not even a pun lol
@@LocalMaple not really a pun
@@LocalMaple That pun wasn't directly in the movie also he does rule over both of them technically
The one that bugged me being missed is in Be Prepared... ♫ My words are a matter of Pride ♫ (Pride as in being proud, pride as in a pride of lions) ...though there's tons more.
my only issue with this video is someone that didn't get a win "Hey did we order this meal to go?" "No" "Cuz there it goes"
Experience Master best joke in the whole movie. I think the remake will suck but if that line is in there I’ll be okay with that.
@@Tillyard86 For me, I'd be okay if in the Scar and Zazu scene after Hakuna Matata would go like: Scar: "Sing something with a little bounce in it." Zazu: *LET IT GOOOOOO! LET IT GOOOOOOOO!!* Scar: "NO! No, ANYTHING but that."
Like the musical does? Bet
Buc Reviewer He missed another great pun. Timon: “Why am I always saving your AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
And when scar admits he killed mufasa.
You missed a win for Simba "I laugh in the face of danger", followed by hyena laughs. That's why hyenas laugh, to warn others of danger.
O
Oh sh-
Fun fact, when Hans Zimmer was composing the music for the stampede scene he remembered his father as it is that he lost his father at a young age. The notes in the score aren't just ink, it's his pure passion and devotion to music in honour of his father.

I never put 2 and 2 together and realized that the move he uses against Scar is the one that he learned from Nala. Great work!

Missed pun opportunity at 7:20 with the word ‘Symbolism’. “That’s what we call *simba*lism.”
Y E S I paused the video to make sure someone else had noticed!
Honestly. It makes sense ur pfp is Chat Noir lmao
“And that would be TIMON!”
That's what I was thinking.
Hey CinemaWins, good call with a classic beloved Disney film. But now I humbly request that you review an underrated, classic Disney film: Treasure Planet.
Never understood why people shit on it. The animation is so beautiful
I second this request. Truly an underrated gem.
Honestly a fantastic film. It's stunning and the setting is great, with a very literal "Space as ocean" metaphore
He better "rattle the stars" with it.
Treasure Planet is awesome
You missed a pun in Be Prepared: "My words are a matter of PRIDE". Like, a PRIDE of lions.
and Pride Lands
one of the best puns in the whole movie. plus Be Prepared is my favorite song from the movie.
Yeah, I feel Scar is often misinterpreted. _We_ hear him saying that what he's doing is a vanity project, but I don't think that's what he _meant._ "My words are a matter of pride!" essentially translates to "I'm talking politics here!"
Am I seriously the only one who appreciates the fact that he actually got the language of the opening lyrics right rather than assuming it's Swahili so as a Zulu person I'm happy to see this
You touched on the fact that the studio thought this would be a flop. I actually think that worked in its favor because the animators were determined to make the best movie they could because the studio had so little faith in it. Now it’s regarded as a classic - and rightly so.
"before sunrise, he is your sun" because he's the king of everything the light touches
My mind has never been more blown in my life
Son*
7:21 Can’t believe you passed up the opportunity to call it “Simba-lism”
I thought the same thing...actually thought he DID say it, but nope.
Came here to see this. Not disappointed it's the top comment.
Simba-lism, is works on so many levels. Thoroughly disappointed at the missed opportunity
I'm very Sibmathetic to this comment.
Timon and Pumbaa are re-lion on him because it's a Simba-otic relationship.
"You impact my wife's life, you get a win." Not just a great KZheadr, but a good man.
yes
fun fact : Shenzi seems to be the leader of the 3 hyenas because in hyenas the females are the ones who are in charge.
that makes sense!
Hyenas are my favorite animal so i know a LOT about em… so watching the remake is painful to me.

Supremeghost It's not just because Gary Oldman's always a win. DreamWorks actually took their time and paid attention to Shen's story and character. While them purposely making him that evil is debatable, Shen has been regarded before as being the darkest DreamWorks villain to have ever come out. And I can't recall another taking his place.
Earlier in the film, when Mufasa dies Scar tells Simba "Run, run away Simba and never return" Later, when Simba decides to not kill Scar he says "Run, run away Scar and never return" *Tables are turned* * Insert thug life music *

_"Before sunrise, he is your son."_ Because the light hasn't touched him yet, he is not Mufasa's.
The scene where Mufasa comes back in the clouds is one of the best scenes in any movie. This movie is just extremely good.
4:28 Simba will rule everything the light touches. Scar is positioned exactly were the light isn't touching. This was such a brilliant observation.
Shout-out to the incredible Jim Cummings who finished Scar's vocals on "Be Prepared" after Jeremy Irons blew his voice out recording the first half. Gotta give him some love, too!
Rika Hauserman i was about to comment this
Happy to see him getting credit where due here in the comments! Jim Cummings is a treasure.
My planned comment as well.
Jim Cummings is just hands down a great voice actor!
So you're telling me the starting song is basically: "Oh look there's a lion yup that's a lion alright hey lion we gonna do stuff oh look more lions"
It's a birth announcement, so yeah.
😂😂😂
*ITS A FUCKING LION*

“Ed is the only English name-“ Scar: am I a joke to you?
His old name is African (Taka)
As an English person I can tell you that Scar isn't a common English name.
How is that English? Scar is clearly a foreign nickname. To be English, his last name would have to be Sir Psychopath. Though that would be hilarious.
He was referring to the Hyenas
You: talks about puns Also you: "That's what we call symbolism" Me: did he just say simba-lism?
Also him: the entire 12:53 - 13:05 bit. ;D
You forgot to mention how Jim Cummings nailed voicing Scar for the second half of Be Prepared, that deserved a Win
Ironic that he voiced a quite different tiger, then
Not the second half, more like the last quarter lol
@@Unqualifiedmedicalperson The final verse, to be precise (if I'm correct)
EsKpistOne yeah, that’s about right
Jim Cummings takes over at 'You won't get a sniff without me' due to Jeremy Iron's voice breaking while performing this song.
"What about that foreshadowy place." I can't talk about that place this early in the movie.
Because the "shadowy place" is LITERAL foreshadowing. :P Love it.
I think that a more accurate description of the lesson behind Simba and Nala's love story at 17:30 is the fact that the two of them didn't get married because they were already arranged to but rather because they actually fell in love and wanted too.
"Be Prepared" still is one of the best Disney villain songs ever in my opinion
I think Rollos song from the Hunchback of Notre Dame is better, with it's intensity and all the extra levels it has according catholism that Rollo is supposed to follow.
For me, it's a toss-up between Be Prepared and Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame.
"Everything great about The Lion King" Why not just show the whole movie

Facts
I really wished you gave an honesty win for Mufasa telling how scared he was for Simba when he was in the graveyard. It gives the win you gave for Mufasa’s bravery quote more context and how even kings have feelings that they have to listen to.
It has been for-freaking-EVER since I saw this movie, and my gosh, there is so much to appreciate! But, the thing that gets most of my wins, *has* to be the animation. I've always appreciated drawn animation, and I want to get into it myself someday. _This_ is the level of animation I aspire to rise up to, it's magnificently beautiful and perfect.
Fun Fact: Jim Cummings actually sung a portion of the Be Prepared song, due to Jeremy Iron's voice breaking while performing the song. Jim Cumming replaced Jeremy Iron's at 'You won't get a sniff without me' and continued to sing the entire third verse of Be Prepared.
So that's when it happened! I sort of could hear something there...
Well he didn't just do that one line he did the entire third verse.
@@rouge1ful - Yes I know, perhaps I should have clarified that.
Lol just posted the same thing. It’s truly amazing and worthy of recognition!
And you can't even tell, because Jim Cummings is a WIZARD.
Did I still tear up over Mufasa’s death even though I’m not actually watching the movie? yes, yes I did.
saaaame -.-
Traumatic. Still.
I'm not crying. You're crying!
Emily steller I’m not crying, you’re crying. Omg the pupil comment made me choke up
What gets me more is Rafiki's sadness
Everytime I hear scar say "long live the king" I get chills
I rewatched The Lion King a couple weeks ago and was devastated when Mufasa went into the stampede with no actual plan to get out of it, his mind focused solely on his baby's well being.
To be fair, that´s what most parents would do, seeing their kid in danger - try to rescue it without regard for their own safety, or even life.
I loved Mufasa as a character because of him being a parent and risking his life to save Simba. I wish he didn't die.
19:40 I'm sorry, Be Prepared is the best song in the entire movie. *FIGHT ME.*
Sasquatch Pictures aside from maybe the Mob Song from beauty and the beast, it’s probably the best villain song in a Disney movie ever
The best Villian song
It is the best villian song, but its on the same level as Hellfire, but only since Hellfire is extremly Dark.
Agreed.
Sasquatch Pictures No! Circle of Life is definitely the best and Can you feel the love tonight a close second! Be Prepared is the third best but definitely the best villain song ever
This video made me realize that Simba thought he triggered the stampede. Before I thought Scar convinced him that his being born was the reason for Mufasa's death.
It can go both ways. Scar did make Simba believe his roar caused the stampede. I think Scar really did mean it when he said "If it weren't for you he'll still be alive" meaning that Scar had no reason to kill Mufasa until Simba was actually born but Simba wouldn't think like that since he loved Scar.
I'd always thought it was "He died saving you. If you hadn't been here, he wouldn't have died". But yeah, now it makes a lot more sense.
Fun fact: Jeremy Irons did NOT sing the entire song.
ooo, i was *waiting* for someone to mention that!!!! didnt he, like, get deathly ill or sumthin? idk
@@soupforfree he the his voice singing it. The last verse was sung by Jim Cummings
Lucia Welch he blew out his voice when shouting "you won't get a sniff without me"
Yeah, Winnie the pooh helped him
Yep I was waiting for this. For the uninformed, Jeremy irons sang all the way up to "You won't get a sniff without me" when his voice gave out. They were on such a tight time crunch, they brought in Jim Cummings who voices Ed the Hyena, as well as Pooh and Tigger, and he finished the end of the song. The only way you can tell is Jeremy Irons for the most part is doing this sing speaking type of deal, while Jim is actually carrying a tune, but it's amazing that no one can tell without KNOWING it happens.
I just want to point out, in the German version. When Simba says "what does that make you" to Scar he straight up answers "the evil uncle"!!
I also like how instead of calling Simba a hairball as he does in English, in German he calls him a pain in the neck 😂
You forgot to win James Earl Jones. He's always a win.
So you didn’t mention Jeremy Irons blowing his voice out in “Be Prepared” and how Jim Cummings filled in for him in the second half of the song. Just saying it’s a fun fact.
Wait wait wait wait wait. Jim Cummings? Fricking Winne the Pooh? Sings for Scar? There's some interesting shit right there.
Yes, its right after “you won’t get a sniff without me!” Jeremy Irons blew outs his voice and if you listen carefully he’s then replaced by Jim Cummings who does a great job picking up after him.
Damn, Winne the Pooh got range.

I just realized that Hans zimmer is the music of my childhood. Didn’t realize how much til now.
Y'know, I was with you til you said "Be Prepared" was at the bottom of the list (19:50). That's my personal favorite song from the movie.
I agree with you, I will sing Be Prepared in the shower like I'm auditioning for Broadway, but I think about the song list as a whole and it's like... How do you call ANY of these bottom-of-the-list? Absolutely all of these songs are brilliant.
Agreed. That's such a brilliant song. So menacing and clever
Be Prepared is literally my favourite Disney song.
Be prepared is too good for the list
Also, no mention of Jim Cummings coming in at the end of the song?

Everything GREAT About The Lion King: Everything in it.
Truth
EXCEPT mufasa dying ..
This movie was and will always be my most favorite movie of all time! I've watched this maybe a million times as a kid on DVD, and maybe a thousand times more as a teen now adult. I love this movie so much, from the characters, to the songs, the message the movie has, the pure nostalgia I always have. I just love this movie! Is there anyway you can do it's sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride? Sure it's a direct to DVD movie, but it's still so worth the time to even just watch it, it's a great sequel to a masterpiece of an original!
I personally don't mind visual upgrades either, but photorealism is not a visual upgrade. These old animated films are animated for a reason. Real(or realistic-looking) lions can't give us the expressions that show so naturally in this film, not without looking funky at best or disturbing at worst, not to mention all the other cartoonish stuff like the ways they sometimes use their paws like hands among other things. Live action and animation are different mediums entirely which lend themselves better to particular stories or ideas. Taking something animated and trying to recreate it in live-action is just not a good idea when the animation is already just about flawless. Video game remakes are an entirely different beast. They all belong to the same medium and thus can unfold similarly no matter what. Your example, FFVII, is great because the original quite well shows it's age. A visual improvement is necessary as the old models are quite simple and blocky and the animated cutscenes are quite obviously outdated. Said improvement is also quite worthwhile as modern graphics can much better depict expressions and body language that would give more insight to a character. The actual story can and should be identical, just with the models and animations updated. A movie is not a videogame however, and The Lion King is timeless. As you gushed throughout this video, it's animation is beautiful and they took many steps to make it feel real despite the animation. Yet now we have live-action backdrops and real-looking lions who just can't express themselves as easily or look as distinct or really do anything the couldn't in the original. That aside, I love this movie and I'm glad to see it here. I can't really say anything about the movie itself that others haven't though.
TheDamonWolfCub18 as devils advocate, ill say its supposed to be lacking some facial expressions, in exchange for this insane documentaryesque appearance. It lacked some moments hitting as hard, but it was self aware enough that some jokes were added in, and some funny moments were modified and still funny, like the live bait scene
Uhhhhhh yes?
You can make it look realistic and show emotion but they decided not to.
Michael Alexander I see your point however when you recreate a movie specifically made for cartoon animation and try making it realistic you lose the style and emotion of it and you really limit yourself with the expression, movement, and color Is it visually impressive yes, is it good for a movie No
I ended up seeing it last night. Keep in mind this is my personal take but, the visuals are very stunning in the scenes of how realistic everything looks. That being said its part of the new versions down fall. Other then being almost 100% remake, minus a few liberties taken here and there due to well realistic lions. It really took away from what the original was. Even looking back on the music yes the new movies music is well done and sounds great, but with that said it's just not the same. Slightly different key here, different delivery their and it really made some of the songs no where near as enjoyable as the original. I do understand it's not really possible to do the songs exactly the same and I don't fault them for it. My issue is when listening to it your expecting some inflections that made some of the songs as iconic as they are, but they are not there. With the visual the handicap they gave themselves with doing complete realism really took away from the movie as well. It would have been a much better idea to do a more stylized realism. The biggest issue with the new movie I found was they made it at all. Look back the original and Disney even call themselves out on some of the not so popular choices they made. Completely aware of the shortcoming they have had. When it comes to the remake just making it take away from it, on top of that no small world joke in the movie ether. It almost saying yea we know a lot of you wont like this but we don't care. It almost feel like a money grab. Again this is all my opinion and if you did love the remake I'm happy you did I just really couldn't get behind it. I will say I'm so happy they still kept James Earl Jones for Mufasa.
Everything Great About The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. It's a severely underrated movie and sadly gets lumped in with the terrible Disney sequels just because it was a sequel
Big agree! I adore that movie, it's almost as good as the original!
Yes! The sequel gets little to no love, all because it's gets assumed that it's "just another bad sequel" and it being a direct to DVD. Which the reason that it was a direct, was because at the time, Disney didn't want any spotlight taken from their originals, in fear that the sequels would be terrible damaging the reputation of the golden original . But Lion king 2, was one of if not the best sequel Disney possibly ever put out. It not only gives a perfect continuation from TLK, but it holds it's own with more great characters, another story that fits so well, and another handful of potentially iconic songs lost in the pile of "horrible sequels".

Still gets me every time.
What a funny movie!! However, I'm sure Timon and Pumbaa explained what a motto is to Simba!
This is still my favourite Disney film, even after the live action remake, I was born the year it came out and remember watching it a lot while growing up, even through my teen years, last time I watched this version was with my girlfriend who is the same age. She said she didn’t like it, everyone’s likes it, turns out she’d never seen it until I made her watch it, she was 19 so it still holds up today
Oh my god, I didn’t botice how Simba pulled on Mufasa’s ear when he died, just like when he was asleep. So heartbreaking.
Additional pun: The line "My words are a matter of pride" in Be Prepared. Because groups of lions are called a pride, and Scar's plans certainly are a matter having to do with the community.
I love you man but Be Prepared is the BEST song from this movie I can't believe you put it at the bottom of the list!
@Black Ninja That's a fair opinion... I might just have a thing for villains.
That's only because the villains pretty much always got the best songs in Disney movies. I've heard some metal covers of them that somehow manage to make them even better.
I'm with you there man
I agree wholeheartedly.
I was Scar in my school's production of the Lion King and Be Prepared has been my favorite ever since. everyone agreed it was the most fun son to perform
I would have also added wins for when Scar hit Simba's mom and the camera pans to angry Simba with a menacing growl with the wind blowing and awesome music/sound effect combination. Epic reintroduction to your uncle. Oh, and how realistic the lion fight was between Simba and Nala because they studied lions and their movements to make this movie. That and the slowmo fight between Simba and Scar at how tense it felt and the amazing score again. I know you added points for the score multiple times, but the soundtrack was so amazing that every single song deserves 5 wins
OH and the amazing build up of Simba walking to the end of pride rock to take his place as King. The way your heart swells at that moment. The music, the hope in the lions eyes, the amazement of zazu to see what that little cub has become, the astonishment of timon and pumbaa that they never knew who their friend really was, the rain washing away the skull showing that death didn't prevail in this situation, the wet fur hanging from Simba's chin as he contemplates how far he has come and what this all means, the strength in his eyes as he hears his father's words and that awesome roar hitting the end of that part of the song so perfectly. CHILLS!!!!!!
I GET IT HIS NAME IS ED BECAUSE HE’S: “SPECIAL” ED
*oh.*
Low blow guys, low blow.
I am still getting chills from "The Circle of Life" everytime. One of the few Movies in my childhood that actually made me feel so connected with the characters.
When it was a coming attraction at the theatres, they just showed the opening sequence
I still sing "In thr Jungle" like this... Scares everyone when you are singing normal and suddenly scream "Ahhhh she's gonna eat me!!"
You madlad.
lol that's hilarious
Please do Rise of the Guardians! That movie deserves some love!
Yes!
Two fun facts: First: Most people do not know Nala's mother's name. It's Sarafina. Second: Mostly fun for me, but the actress playing Sarafina was a cousin of mine. She'd done a lot of work on the management side for Disney before this film, and Sarafina is one of her only acting credits.
I’m crying at Mufasa’s death even just watching this video ughhhh it’s so sad 😭😭
Abby Leslie You’re not alone. I can always feel the panic and loneliness of Simba in that moment. And being a father now, it’s only amplified.
I can relate😭
The moment the choral voices rumble in, it just drop kicks me in the stomach.
I can't believe you didn't quote-win "So what are you going to do about it?" "First, I'm going to take your stick..." (Which is still my default response to that question 25 years later)
Rafiki: NONONO nottha stick!!!
I love how Rafiki literally sings 'Thank you very much squashed banana'
Another detail that you showed but never talked about: in Simba’s song as a kid when he crawls up the branch along the lyrics “I’m brushing up on looking down,” he extends his claws to climb the branch then retracts them at the top.
Doing this, you better do Mulan and all the other Disney movies coming to live action!
I had to tell my brother just yesterday that “The Lion sleeps tonight” was not made up for the Lion King
Another fun fact: the little scene in Scar’s musical number “Be prepared” with the hyenas marching in the straight lines past scar as he’s standing on the little cliff-rock thing was actually a representation of the parades held in nazi Germany during WW2 when the nazis would solute Hitler while marching in straight lines. This was information I got when watching another video a few years back, which I believe was a behind the scenes look at the lion king, not really sure but it just popped in my mind as I was watching this and I think it was worth pointing out.
8:43 "This is just a sandwich wrapper" is the best part of this video.
That shot of Nala doing Bedroom Eyes probably awakened a fair few Furries... She's pretty but she's also just a frickin lion with a pretty face.
I'ma furry Pitbull :)
Her and Lola Bunny are probably responsible for the existence of 89% of all Furries out there.
Everything great about Wall-e? Or Up? Those are two of my favorite Pixar movies, and I'd love to hear what you have to say about either of them.
infinite amount of wins for that super sad montage at the beginning of up. It got grown men crying dude.
I don’t think the win counter goes up that high. He’d have to get a 2.0 counter like CinemaSins did.
Almost any pixar movie is great
I was just about to suggest Wall-E
Poxar is a great animation studio, but Up and WALL·E are its strongest masterpieces released back-to-back before Toy Story 2 while after that movie, Cars 2 and Brave are Pixar films released back-to-back that are also the studio's worst films thanks to their out-of-character protagonists. Power to you if you like these films, but IMHO, they are only okay albeit indecisive.
I laughed at "Wait I don't need a bath- oohhhh." And all the puns about not pulling your crush into the lake 😂 awesome video! I really love the positive takes
Mufasa's death scene definitely broke me as a child. I can't believe I didn't notice all those puns either.
Everything Great about Lilo & Stitch Everything Great about The Hunchback of Notre Dame Everything Great about Treasure Planet Everything Great about National Treasure
How about Up, Mulan, Aladdin, And Wall-E,
And the Iron Giant and Tarzan?
@@waxmilva5395 Definitely, Aladdin & WALL-E are up there among my favourites, and UP and Mulan are great movies too.
@@amagnificentsans-ation4142 - Both great movies too.
@@TheAussieJPLoco93 also Ratatouille
I know it’s asking for much but could you do the sequel to Lion King-Lion King II: Simba’s Pride
That was as much my childhood as this one!
We gotta pull in Lion King 1 1/2 in that case, lol!
@@oliviagriffith3626 No.
If he does another lion movie it should be the pride.
When I was young and my Dad got a surround sound system, this was the first movie I watched on it. I will never be able to replicate the chills I got when the Stampede scene started...
“Saddest Disney death ever…? Yeah, saddest Disney death ever” Ellie: Am I a joke to you?
