Whoever made this...please go work for Disney right now. They really need your help

I wish this was the official version we got. It feels more passionate and newer than the military-style version we got in the final film.

It pains me that the live-action remake didn't have this song properly sung.

This is awesome, why didn't Disney do this for the remake.

I forgot just how much of an anthem this song was. Scar was a Disney villain who I actually like.

The 2019 Scar we wanted: This video The 2019 Scar we got: "It's not a phase, Mom!"

I would love an instrumental version of this. It's amazing.

This brilliantly showcases the dysfunctional relationship between Scar and the hyenas. They just want food much like in the 2019 film, but in the 1994 film he knows them and can go around ordering them as he likes. With this mix, it isn't much of him ordering them around it's just him telling them of his grand scheme where in the new film it's just....no idea what it is really. I see what they were trying to do as I do adore the more militaristic tone and instrumentation of the new film but eh.

Excellent!!!! This is what the Live Action Lion king version should have been!

The strings and horns made me so happy. It adds a lot of depth

Not only is this better than the remake, this is better than the original

From 0:54 to 1:05 Those horns blends so well ..

The reason they cut most of the original song was because in the remake scar doesn't properly know the Hyenas so he can't go insulting them and go on about how much better he is (edit the Hyenas would've killed him if he insulted them in the movie they actually do threaten him until he starts singing so if he goes on and bags them they would not be willing to help him.

As someone who likes the 2019 version, I must say, Disney, take points. Like seriously, either USE your budget which you make from your sequels and live action remakes for ACTUAL high quality, or just straight up hire this guy who clearly made this with 0 of a budget at all and just relied on talent.

I like this, but the thing is the devilishly playful tone of the original Be Prepared fits more with the personality of the original Scar. I feel like the new version perfectly gives emphasis on a different, more bitter and dark personality of this new version of Scar.

god this is so much better than the live action version

Even though I miss the goose step I still really love the way the instrumental sounds, Jeremy irons and Jim Cummings voice as scar is perfect as always and the faster Rhythm is a welcoming sound.

When KZfaq does Disney, better than Disney.

If the remake wanted a shorter version of Be prepared... It should have been this. Amazing work 👏

Everything about this is flawless! ...Well, except the fact that the marching hyenas were excluded, since that's my favourite part of the song. But otherwise.. flawless! Perfect! Beautiful!

This sounds alot like the villains tonight version of this song.

I'm speechless it so much better than the original!!

Why couldn’t this be the new “be prepared” for the lion king 2019

Well Done Dude You Really Outdid Yourself A Truly Sinister Remix For Scar

I love how this is so upbeat and energetic. This almost sounds like something out of a Super Smash Bros game, the way they remix songs from other games.

I love how the octave went up when I switched to Jim! Made it more dramatic! Well done!!!! Gave me chills!

I enjoyed this rendition. The key change close to the end was a nice touch

This is honestly astounding. Why on Earth didn't they do something like this in the remake?

1:15 I loved that sound

I wanna hear an instrumental version of this ;w;

It has the hip hop beats that the new Aladdin soundtrack has. Great job!

I'd LOVE to get the instrumental of this alone. So that I could go on in my merry life singing in my car, at full blast, in my mother tongue :P

I would say this is better than the live action, but that wouldn't be giving you nearly enough credit. This is a masterpiece. I got goosebumps listening to it.

I downloaded the 2019 version and listened for the first time last night. Wasn't prepared for it to be Chiwetel Ejiofor reading lines to the tune of the original lol

Love the key change from C Major to Db Major! Good job!

We need an instrumental of this

they really should have stuck with this version for be prepared than giving a poor excuse for a remake. Nice work!

That ending gives me goosebumps

when the fanmade version sounds much more superior than the official 2019 version:

1:06 Sounds like the broadway version So great👍

Oh my God, it is to die for!!!!!! Disney should've put this in the movie....Chiwetel ejiofor's version is disappointing me :(

Now THIS should’ve been on the live action remake

Dude, this is fantastic!!! And nice to see you giving Jim some credit as well for the last part of the song!! :D

THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. AMAZING.

I loved the remake as its own movie, but I really missed this song, its my favourite Disney Villain song and was so disappointed in the new version. Love this!

The best Disney villain song ever made 10 times BETTER! DISNEY SHOULD HIRE YOU! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Jermey irons should’ve been in there again

My only complaint was that they didn't use the Be Prepared reprise when Scar ascended.

The movie version was literally just the phrase "be prepared" on loop. It was literally nothing.

I must admit I wish this remake of be prepared would be used in the lion king live action

Disney were too afraid to give their realistic, gritty villain a song to sing; somehow (and I can understand why) it dampens the toughness of his character to have him singing jauntily around about killing his brother. It makes sense for "Just Can't Wait to Be King" and "Hakuna Matata" to be sung as they are both happy songs by characters just excitedly claiming their feelings. But Scar in the realistic version they wanted would less likely sing and dance about what he wants; he would just plot and go and do it. That's why I feel they went for the less singy version. But at the same time - it's like they went half way there, if they're going to they might as well properly sing it, as what was delivered instead was neither gritty realism nor a great song - it was an awkward half-way. It should either have been cut altogether or this version made here or something similar.

Man, this version is far more menacing. I like how to tuned it up on the final verse of the song. Really gives a cinematic vibe.

This deserves a million views!

Guys, let's share this video so then people will know Disney could be doing an even better job.

Calling it now, this vid gets 1 million views, 1 million times worth of your effort put into this, 1 million times just as underrated this version and 1 million times better than a bunch of parrots standing around a rock repeatedly chanting: "be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared etc"

I replayed this so many times to the point where I forgot how the original one sounded like

Is there an instrumental? This is amazing!

Wow! This is really good! I can’t stop listening to it!!! Though I wish you added the hyenas were matching, but it’s still amazing!!!

Is there a instrumental version without the vocals?

I feel like i will start listening to this every day

Dude, I got chills at the end...this is amazing.

Man this person who made it long live the king

They should've just had the full Be Prepared sung by Scar's new voice actor as an extra track to the soundtrack!

Have you considered releasing an instrumental version of this remix?

I just found this tonight on my home page and I think I broke the replay button already lol x3; Seriously though out of all of the versions of this song that I've heard over the years this one has become my new favorite version! ^-^ THIS is the one Disney should have used for the remake-granted that one's grown on me overtime but still-I LOVE the energy this one has especially that key change near the end just adds the perfect touch! AMAZING JOB!! :3

Legitimately incredible. It's like the original but it has an essential emphasis that makes it stand out.

Disney, are you watching this? This is how it's done!

I can't stop listening to this beautiful art of yours. You are inspiring me! : D

This is absolutely amazing, puts the movie to shame.

This was what the 2019 movie is missing...along with emotion, color, and charm among other things.

This is brilliant. From 1:45 I chucked the playback speed to 0.75 and its just so much better than the film version

I don't think the instruments added are very associated with the jungle, but the extra harmony makes the song sound a lot beter!

My god what a symphony, you don't have the version without scar's voice just with the instruments, honestly it was even better than the original and the 2019

Well yeah sure the original was absolutely perfect thanks to the legendary cast like the mastermind Jeremy Irons, but to be absolutely honest, I feel like keeping the original was not really suited for a live action CGI film. The dark tone this movie had just doesn’t suit well for this. But really, they could have used a remixed Be Prepared like this one but tweak a few of lines and I’m suited. They should have stick to Jeremy Irons or just cast Jim Cummings instead. I do appreciate Chiwetel Umeadi Ejiofor for trying his best to voice Scar and I was much more terrified with this one, I still do believe keeping the same mood swing like Scar would have been a lot better. So when you watch the Lion King remake and hope for the song to play, Be Prepared for a disappointing result.

this is better than original, the production of original is a mess, thank you, great job.

Straight up gave me chills at the end. My god. This is glorious.

Okay now this an live action version I wanted it just sounds epic ! Thank you so much

This version is so powerful and slightly upbeat. Fantastic work.

This would've been perfect for the remake

Great work, though I don’t know why people dislike the one used in the remake. I loved it. It was dark, and it had the whole vibe of Scar rallying the hyenas, with him singing/talking/yelling and the hyenas raising their heads to him and following him curiously before crowding below him at the end. The remake was well-done, it made me properly believe that Scar was plotting to kill the king and unveiled the raw emotion behind the plot

That shit just went on my playlist, and on my liked videos. From now on, this is the real 2019 version of B e Prepared, not that disgrace they had in the movie

I like how it sounds a lot more triumphant at the end, pretty cool remix ngl

Dude what you just did is the officially made my week.

It's a testament to old Disney that fans are willing to pour lovely effort like this into works inspired by the slosh modern Disney pumps out. I weep for Mulan and The Little Mermaid live action remakes, because Aladdin, Lion King and Beauty and the Beast have all been mediocre garbage. (Props to them getting the Jungle Book right though)

1:55 damn i got chills

Bravo! You actually gave me chills! They really need to remake that movie and put yours in like omg.

this would be great for the remake since for some reason every remake of a song has chanting and a heavier base

Who disliked this masterpiece?!?!

This is amazing. This is more perfect than the original

we gotta have a full version of this with the hyena's parts as well

as someone who actually did like what they did to Be Prepared in the remake (even though I still think it's the worst song in the remake), this is freaking *BONKERS*, and I'd love to hear the instrumental of this.

I absolutely love it

YES MY TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARRED BE PREPARED!! ((SO MUCH BETTER THANK YOU))

This was awesome! Excellent job with the song!

this is totally lit!!!

I love the energy! And the key change at the end! Truely epic!

Whoever made this is a legend of epic proportions, it's like a festival of the best of both worlds :)

so much better than the 2019 version

This is phenomenal! It's so aggressive yet so determined.

This is how the live action Lion King Be prepared song should sounded like.
