It is time for the one everyone has been asking for. After much request, a video highlighting the talented voice actors behind Disney's The Lion King.
Cast in order of appearance:
Lebo M. singing The Circle of Life
Carmen Twillie singing The Circle of Life
Jeremy Irons as Scar
James Earl Jones as Mufasa
Robert Guillaume as Rafiki
Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Young Simba
Jason Weaver as Young Simba (Singing)
Rowan Atkinson as Zazu
Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi
Cheech Marin as Bonzai
Jim Cummings as Ed and Scar (Singing)
Ernie Sabella as Pumba
Nathan Lane as Timon
Moira Kelly as Nala
Matthew Broderick as Simba
Frank Welker as the Roars
NOBODY IN THIS WORLD could ever play Mufusa except for James Earl Jones himself 🥺🥺😭❤️.
Well there are other celebrities who’s voices give him a run for his money. Barry White and Sam Elliott… their voices are deeper than JEJ
@@nsasupporter7557Keith David comes close. To be honest Sam Elliot cannot capture the noble presence of Jones. Imagine Elliot playing Vader 😂😂😂. Common on man.
@@joshuaj.chinda9873 the point is, Elliott’s voice is deeper. He might not have been the correct voice for Vadar but his voice surpasses him
@@nsasupporter7557 😂😂😂😂😂 Don't make me laugh. It's not about a deep or deeper voice. It's about the voice that fits a regal role. Elliot has been playing mostly westerns all his life and that's what fits his tone of voice. He recently was in a Dorito commercial with a western styled setting. He is not a versatile actor as such. He is the typed cast actor in a certain role. Jones has played kings and warlords. Orson Welles is even better than Elliot. I mean he was the original choice for Vader. It's not about whose voice is better it's about the voice that connects to the character. Can't see Jeremy Irons or Morgan freeman playing Vader. But these men have deep voices as well. No one wants our precious Mufasa sounding like an old Alabama drunkie 😂😂. James earl Jones voice all day.
@@joshuaj.chinda9873 thank you for not understanding me as most people on KZhead don’t! I never said that Elliott should’ve been Vadar, all I said was that his voice was deeper! I’m so sick of being misunderstood by people on KZhead and social media are completely destroying the human race
Jeremy Irons himself looked evil delivering that "Long live the king" line. THE coldest moment in Disney movie history.
Jemery Irons Voicing Scar Was really great and very interesting
Abso..bloody..lutely!!

A living legend ❤
Better scar than 2019 scar
For me personally, Jeremy Iron was the absolute BEST portrayal of Scar!!
@katerinadicamella Fun fact: originally, one of the initial offers for Scar was made to DAVID BOWIE. I totally get it, and I think he would've had fun with the "You're so weird/You have no idea" moment, in particular. The problem was that he was already a bit behind schedule with his album at the time, and he didn't want to cause further problems with his record company. (2/29/2024)
По факту
The cast the best actor in the end x
Очень звучно и классно
@@daniellemusella1594 He would’ve been great as well. Both are from the UK…so the sounds might’ve been similar in the character.
*_"Remember who you are."_* Instant GOOSEBUMPS
This scene is so powerful and awesome. It makes me cry every time I watch this movie.
👍🇿🇼🇿🇦
@keratos92 I've always loved the religious connotation to that moment. (2/29/2024)
Absolutely same here!
And tears ToT
1994-2024: Happy 30th anniversary🙏🌞🦁
Hell YES!!
Happy 30th Anniversary To Disney's The Lion King (1994-2024)
Disney's The Lion King Trilogy is On Disney +
How can it be?! 🎉🎉🎉
When Nala and Simba Saw The Elephant graveyard Scar Wasn't kidding Scar was right The Elephant graveyard is a dreadful place
this cast was completely on POINT. there is NO ONE that can voice Scar like Jeremy Irons. his voice is perfectly sinister. love to Jason Weaver for Simbas singing voice ❤
I agree
Jeremy Irons is a living legend
I wish Jason had also been Simba's speaking voice as well, but they were already too far in by the time he was brought in. Apparently, no one asked if JTT could sing before he got the role😂
Especially whoopi playing a hyena...lmao
RIP 🙏 Robert Gulliame voice of Rafiki, 2017
Let's not forget about Madge Sinclair and Zoe Leader (the voices of Simba's mother Sarabi and Nala's mother Sarafina). They passed away as well.
And Suzanne Plesheyte (voice of Zira)
😢😢😢😢😢
@@willrobinson3662happy 30th anniversary to Lion King!
❤😢😢
This is my favourite Disney film of all time 👑🦁👑🦁👑🦁
So is my dad and I.
Same this is my favourite film
The goat of Disney. Aladdin and little mermaid
Same here 😢
Fav movie period! 👏🏾
This movie made me cry when i was a kid and it still does today and im 39 this is the greatest Disney movie of all time they don't make Movies like this anymore with such Heart and soul in every thing they put into it ❤️ 😢 it's a true classic that never gets old even when im 80 years old it will still make me cry 😢 😭
This is my favorite Disney movie of all time ❤🎉
Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella are so funny voicing Timon and Pumbaa. Matthew Broderick is my favorite actor, and I love him as Simba.
Definitely, the three of them in the movie were my favorite trio, of course the actors
The three of them are friends in real life
I think you mean adult Simba not kid Simba. Because kid Simba is Johnathan Taylor-Thomas. Adult Simba is Matthew Broderick.
Would have been interesting to see what the casting of adult Simba would have been if Jason Weaver's mother would have returned Disney's phone call sooner.
I was blown away when I learned Ernie Sabella was Pumbaa. I remember him from Saved by the Bell. He played Mr Karosi, the owner of the resort the gang worked at. He was also the father of the girl Zack was interested in while working there.(Stacy)
4:16 No body can beat this mans voice for scar
The 1994 voice cast was the A-list of 90s entertainment. Mr. Bean, Darth Vader, JTT from Home Improvement, Whoopi, Winnie the Pooh (and every conceivable thing else Jim Cummings is known for, even if you don't know it), Cheech (of Cheech and Chong), and Ferris Bueller himself. WOW
They were really lucky with the voice cast. Matthew Broderick is amazing as Simba, Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella killed it as Timon and Pumbaa Rowan, Atkinson is fantastic as Zazu James Earl Jones is incredible as Mufasa and Jeremy Irons is so phenomenal as scar
"Everything the light touches, is our kingdom" . what an epic phrase
Cant belive how iconic Jeremy Irons was for his role as Scar ..... To be able so effortlessy to make animated object sound like the biggest villain in movies history - RESPECT!
Oh agreed girl you can truly tell he really had a phenomenal blast and time alongside a fun time with this especially with his role as Scar
I'm just crying and bowing all of them for my childhood 🎉🎉🎉😇
I had no idea Mr. Bean voiced Zazu!!!!!
Yes, me too. Actually even live in Kazakhstan). But, I want say Mr. Bean good actor.
@@damirironman6491and King Julien in Madagascar is voiced by Borat
@@johngurwitz5203 Good luck, mr.gurwitz
Me neither
I saw that too. I couldn't tell if that was him or not! Lol
Whoopi was having a blast!
Whoppi was having too much fun 🤣
One of the best Animated Disney Movies of all time
Not one of. It is the best
@@kossyumeh9150you pointed it out correctly, the very best, not one of the best
Dammit I was going to say that.
I love watching Jeremy Irons as Scar. He’s so sinister in that role. 😄
@mikewolf5367 And you can tell how much he was LOVING it. That's what makes his recording sessions so much fun toi watch, over and over again. (2/29/2024)
He is awarded for best villain for MTV movie awards.
Still one of the most genuinely excellent, dare I say iconic, openings to any film, ever.
5:31 hearing him say it behind the scenes side by side with the scene gives me even more chills
All voices are amazing! Everything made this movie perfect! ❤
There voice was amazing ❤
@@regina9783 they made my childhood ❤️
Nice that you had Jim Cummings in there singing for Scar.
4:12 I even met Jim Cummings in 8 years ago.
Yes, it's because Jeremy strained his vocal cords halfway through the performance (after "You'll never get a sniff without me")
@@alking7655 Ah, thanks. I assumed he didn't really want to sing that much to begin with.
@@joecab1 Well, he was also a seasoned smoker back then (from what I read). Don't know if he still is. That definitely takes a strain on your vocal cords. But yes, he was much a theatre actor, just not musical theatre.
Couldn't stop smiling
After all these year no animation film has been able to match the brilliance of this once in a life time masterpiece!!!! Thank you for this video!
Best movie of all time #1! Also Jeremy Irons Sang Be Prepared up to the point where his voice went out stating the line “You won’t get a sniff without me!” And so prepare and so forth to the end is Jim Cummings Voice of Winnie the Pooh tigger Pete Ed the hyena and many more
5:26 Jim as Scar's singing voice "be prepared
4:12 Jim as Ed the hyena
@YungReeseMyers, you got me?
5:28 That’s what I noticed
Happy 30th anniversary, the lion 🦁 king.
Какая сильная песня🥲Слезы аж на глазах. Мультфильм на века❤Легендарные актеры
Чуть слезу не пустила
Happy 30th Anniversary from the Lion King! God bless you! 😊❤
Omg SERIOUS goosebumps at the end! 😭😭😭
Brought me Tears...😢🙏🏻
James Earl Jones is great as Mufasa. I named one of my toy lions after him.
@bernayhansondescendantofth9969 Aw! That's sweet. Out of curiosity, I Googled each character's name, to see if any of them had a special meaning. It turned out that "Mufasa" means "king". (2/29/2024)
@@daniellemusella1594 thank you.
RIP🕊Madge Sinclair (Sarabi) even tho, we never seen her throughout the behind the scenes of The Lion King😔🕊
Was wondering how come I haven't seen her either
@@tianaproudlove5455 I think she was sick….because just right after The Lion King was released she died
AMAZING!!! MY CHILDHOOD🥺🥺🥺🥺😳😳😳😳😲😲😲😲
Wow Jim's voice as scar soooo koooool... Zazu Mr. BEAN I m just knowing. So lovely
One of the greatest animation ever made
There is no other cartoon that I have cried so much on, no matter how many times I see it - This cartoon is absolutely precious!
My 2 year old wants to watch this 5 times a day. And because it's such a classic it never gets old 😊
Scar was so iconic! Probably the best voiceover in any animations
It's great that you grouped all the Lion King voice actors together, the most unforgettable movie in my childhood!:DDD Everyone really gets into the skin of the characters, giving soul to the movie as I always remember it, I can't stop looking at it in amazement, I didn't know all these others behind the scenes, thank you (you cheered up my day)
Legends that gave childhood for centuries
That's right. Better give my boy Jason Weaver his props. 😊
To be fair, Jason Weaver got more props than Jonathan Tyler Thomas ever got for playing young Simba.
@simplyjuannie5128 I loved watching in the Disney sitcom "Smart Guy" when I was a kid and pre-teen, though it would take a few years, before I learned about his role in this movie. He also played a young Michael Jackson in the miniseries, "The Jacksons: An American Dream". (2/29/2024)
💚this dam movie 😭its truly a masterpiece 😁
Tears flowing down my eyes. Cant imagine how much was putting on this film to make it world class till date. This movie was a food to my soul when i was little and now i know why. #Marverlous
I recall my mind being blown that Zazu was voiced by Mr. Bean 😲
Rowan Atkinson is much more than Mr. Bean. He proves that with every performance. 😎
Я тоже поражаюсь что Зазу озвучивает мистер БИН😮
I absolutely love watching behind the scenes footage! Especially if it’s from my favorite movies.❤️❤️❤️
omg seeinf james earl jones voice mufasa and jeremy irons as scar gave me CHILLS. literal chills! and the soundtrack is really very moving.. in the sequel, lebo m. also sings the opening theme “he lives in you” and it gets me teary eyed every time ❤❤
This film is my favorite and will continue to be now I can pass this film to my bundle of joy I'm growing
GOOSEBUMPS OMG!This Video bring me so many memories,very nice!Our Childhood!
I love the movie The Lion King and I love the video
The Instruments are so gorgeous
The best animated movie of all time ❤❤❤
This movie holds a special place as my grandparents took me to see this movie when I was 7 when it 1st came out. I lost both of them, but whenever I watch this movie I go back to the day we went to the movie and it brings a smile to my face. I miss them both, but am still able to have this memory that I hold close.
Awwww…..what a sweet memory. A nostalgic memory and feeling that just a simple movie can bring back.
@@mks9469 yes. It's precious. Simple things in life.
Love it! Love it! Love it!! Don't think there could have been better voices for any of the characters, especially Mufasa and Scar. And that motherland music just sends chills down your spine... Beautiful!
What an Amazing Movie. A Classic of all time
This year will be Special! for The Lion King!
Талантливые люди! От последнего саундтрека слезы и мурашки! Спасибо из за эти счастливые моменты детства ❤

James earl jones played mufasa animated and live action lion king
He also voiced Vader from star wars
Let's not forget about The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar. James Earl Jones did the voice of Mufasa in that TV movie as well.
Such a timeless classic! Filled with talented actors! Great job for this 1994 movie! One of my favorite movies from Disney!
Love this!
Ive watched lion king so much times, AND I ONLY REALIZED NOW THAT THE VOICE ACTOR WAS MR.BEAN FOR ZAZOO???
These guys were amassing:)!
I love ❤️ The Lion King 🦁
i love this
Magnificent production!
I never knew frank welker did the roaring of the lions
He's an amazing voice actor
I thought that was incredible! I really thought they dubbed a real lion roaring over the film at that part. Never heard of him, but outstanding job 👏🏾
Perfect ❤
This video game me automatic tears, so much talented people, so many emotions❤
От музыки мурашки по коже😢😢 очень красиво, а мне 36 лет и до сих пор вспоминаю этот мультик
Einfach nur wow. Mehr kann man dazu nicht sagen
This was good!
Yes Lion King voice actors yes
