Fun fact: Scar’s real name is Taka, meaning garbage. Mufasa means king. No wonder Scar is so bitter.

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

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.

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!

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?

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?

I cannot believe you failed to win James Earl Jones! James Earl Jones is always a win!

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"

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?!

Missed pun opportunity at 7:20 with the word ‘Symbolism’. “That’s what we call *simba*lism.”

"You impact my wife's life, you get a win." Not just a great KZfaqr, but a good man.

People: we hate the remakes Also people: goes to see the remakes Disney: finds remakes a profitable source becuase people are viewing their movies Also also people: OMG WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING REMAKES

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.

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

fun fact : Shenzi seems to be the leader of the 3 hyenas because in hyenas the females are the ones who are in charge.

You missed a pun in Be Prepared: "My words are a matter of PRIDE". Like, a PRIDE of lions.

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!

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.

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 sun" because he's the king of everything the light touches

_"Before sunrise, he is your son."_ Because the light hasn't touched him yet, he is not Mufasa's.

13:42 So THATS where that meme came from of the guy recording himself bouncing on a branch and then it snaps which leads to his fall. That made me laugh so hard.😂

Everything great about the lion King Me: everything

You: talks about puns Also you: "That's what we call symbolism" Me: did he just say simba-lism?

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"

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.

“Ed is the only English name-“ Scar: am I a joke to you?

19:40 I'm sorry, Be Prepared is the best song in the entire movie. *FIGHT ME.*

7:21 Can’t believe you passed up the opportunity to call it “Simba-lism”

The scene where Mufasa comes back in the clouds is one of the best scenes in any movie. This movie is just extremely good.

"What about that foreshadowy place." I can't talk about that place this early in the movie.

My wife and I are EXTREMELY offended that you did not Win Simba's roar at the end.

“Man, I hate lions!” “They’re pushy!” “And hairy!” “And stinky!” “And man, are they....” “Uuuugggglllyyy!”

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.

Fun fact: Jeremy Irons did NOT sing the entire song.

"Everything GREAT About The Lion King" *SHOWS ENTIRE MOVIE*

"Everything great about The Lion King" Why not just show the whole movie

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"!!

Everytime I hear scar say "long live the king" I get chills

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.

" I know I shouldn't win the bad guy being so good at being bad, but come on." Yes you should. Good Antagonist are always interesting and increases the quality of the movie/ plot in general. The Dark Knight???

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.

You forgot to mention how Jim Cummings nailed voicing Scar for the second half of Be Prepared, that deserved a Win

"Be Prepared" still is one of the best Disney villain songs ever in my opinion

"Hakuna-" *Add Plays* Me: W H Y M E

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.

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.

Did I still tear up over Mufasa’s death even though I’m not actually watching the movie? yes, yes I did.

I just burst out laughing when you said "Sometimes you can use the circle of life to choke people from across the room...." A win for CinemaWins!

I've got a few more wins you can add to the list. 1. Hyena hilarity "Man that lousy Mufassa. I won't be able to sit for a WEEK!" and then when Ed just bursts out laughing at what Banzai had just said 2. Self-cannibalism (Ed chewing on his own leg briefly). Kinda creepy, but more funny than creepy 3. Cactus butt! Banzai falling into the thorn patch, and coming out with his butt all covered in thorns! Then when Shenzi makes fun of him saying, "There ain't no way I'm goin' in there! What? You want me to come out lookin' like you, Cactus Butt?"

I swear god Disney better not mess up the remake of this majestic movie

"Oh wow, I love this movie. When I grow up, I wanna be an animator!" *24 years later* "Good news team. Today, we're killing Mufasa again!"

“Lion around”. That always cracked me up as a kid.😂😂😂

“Sure when rafiki does it everyone prances around all happy but when Michael jack- you know what never mind” I laughed so hard at this

19:54 Jeremy Irons actually blew out his voice doing Be Prepared and had to be replaced for the rest of the song.

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

I just realized that Hans zimmer is the music of my childhood. Didn’t realize how much til now.

Requests: Tarzan Hercules Aristocats Prince of Egypt

I love how he said there are spoilers.... *but who hasnt seen the lion king?!*

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.

You know what's tragic? This version of The Lion King doesn't include the song that Zazu (and Simba kinda) sing called "the morning report". *And it 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 bop.* 👏🏻

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

You forgot to win James Earl Jones. He's always a win.

Do one on Treasure Planet while you're on the topic of Disney movies!

“Allow me to introduce you to our Biritish, French-Speaking villain.” Since when was Captain Picard the villain of this movie?

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!

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 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.

Also fun thing, when you trim cats claws all your trimming off is the hook which is what does all the damage, you leave the rest of the claw because if you take the full claw out it messes with the cats sense of balance which is exactly what timone does is just file down the hook

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.

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.

Everything great about The Lion King. In a nutshell: the whole movie.

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.

Jim Cummings did scars "singing " voice. He deserves that credit! Jeremy irons did the speaking portions of the song! 👍

Please do Atlantis the lost empire or treasure planet!! Attempt #25

“And that’s what we call Simbalism” Ok I see you Cinemawins, I see you

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.

“What’s a Motto?” “I don’t know...What’s the matto with you?!” The best joke in this film😂😂

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.

I GET IT HIS NAME IS ED BECAUSE HE’S: “SPECIAL” ED

Everything GREAT About The Lion King: Everything in it.

Everything Great about Lilo & Stitch Everything Great about The Hunchback of Notre Dame Everything Great about Treasure Planet Everything Great about National Treasure

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.

Please do Rise of the Guardians! That movie deserves some love!

Mufasa's death scene definitely broke me as a child. I can't believe I didn't notice all those puns either.

I’m crying at Mufasa’s death even just watching this video ughhhh it’s so sad 😭😭

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!

Missed Win(s): When Rafiki finds out Simba is alive, you hear in his voice the hope he lost so many years ago be restored in a matter of seconds and the music shows it almost perfectly. Also Rafiki’s voice actor pulling it off almost flawlessly.

Something I learn about Rafiki is that he’s voiced by Robert Guillaume, who also played Bensn DuBois from the Tv show Benson. (I like the show and knowing that Rafiki is played by my favorite snarky Secretary of State is awesome).

I know it’s asking for much but could you do the sequel to Lion King-Lion King II: Simba’s Pride

Have you guys done Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron yet? Lots of Han Zimmer wins there.

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.

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.

Doing this, you better do Mulan and all the other Disney movies coming to live action!

1:40 ah, you can tell this was made before YMS tore that myth apart

8:43 "This is just a sandwich wrapper" is the best part of this video.
