A classic Disney rip off. One of my favourite movies none the less.

Jeremy King ?

@@keyanstoney1742 look up Kimba the White lion and Lion king comparison. I'll link a video below here (I don't want it to flag this comment)

Jeremy King maybe it’s just me but why does it matter? Literally everything Disney makes is a rip-off/ twist on some already existing story

@@collinscott1052 If you're talking about old fairy tales, then I agree. But Kimba wasn't an old fairy tale. Something, something corporate IP copyright law. etc.

Xanthe Inoue taka also means hawk.

Xanthe Inoue Hahahahaha. "Son, I name you KING. And you my second son... You are garbage"

Ikr

Taka means also means want. I.e he wanted the throne.

No, it wasn't revealed. It was in some book that doesn't matter.

That's the point.... And what he said. It gives actual closure.

Dudeonwheels ikr

as a kid, I didn't realize that he died at first. I saw him fall, but cats land on their feet. A stampede didn't mean anything to me. In retrospect, his death is pretty horrifying. I was just sad and confused as a kid.

And then Littlefoot's mom blows everyone out of the water.

@@Flufferz626 I was just about to comment on that. So much worse!

ikr he's 55 now so he was in his late twenties early thirties when making the lion king

Either that or he doesn't age. A witch regardless.

'Ee turned me into a newt!

33

"...I got better."

Nah she's too smart. Probably gonna be Kim Kardarshian lol

Situation for foreign secretary.. So that when the military commanders tell the president that they "have a situation in the middle east" they can mean it literally. :S

all I was thinking was: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jshxn6SAtLPenIk.html

DioSundoro (insert something bashing the current president)

it’s Disney magic

ikr lmaoo

adnelg319 You win! XD

Real cats: *find tallest vantage point possible* Everything is mine. Everything.

SongOfGrace xD

so you changed your NAaaaaME?

Even in the sequel Simba mentions marking the path. LOL

Yeah, an animated wolf movie that takes place in Mongolia? I'm intrigued.

yeah, he should definitely be proud of having made this movie what it is and with soul the message, and I would definitely like him to be back in another The Lion King project, if possible

Yesssss

Thank You!

Jackeroose98 Agreed. He made a film that's arguably better than anything Hayao Miyazaki has ever made. There's no animated film better than The Lion King imo.

Jake G 2187 I will admit, I am a little triggered, because Hayao Miyasaki has made some damn fine movies in his career, Spirited Away is one of my all time favourite films since I was pretty young, but The Lion King is still a phenomenal masterpiece.

Jackeroose98 Spirited away had a bigger budget and Tier 1 animators tho..remmber that Lion King was made with a B team of animators not Disneys best.

Jackeroose98 Lol Sorry if I triggered you. I LOVE Spirited Away as well. It's my 6th favorite film of all time. That's in general, not just animated. But The Lion King just has this aura about it. When Mufasa confronts Simba late in the film and tells him he is more than what he's become, I get this feeling inside that I've never felt before. The score, the beautiful visuals, the powerful voice acting by James Earl Jones. It's like the stars all aligned to make the most perfect scene. I'm always transfixed by the stars and background when I watch The Lion King. The atmosphere just takes me over. The Lion King is with out a doubt my favorite film of all time.

Definitely my personal favourite, he can always be proud of his work

this comment didnt age well

Yo boundary break

Yes!

YES my dude

HONEST TRAILERS. D O I T.

It would be easier to get James Mangold.

I would love to see that too! I guess there might be a sliver of a chance to get him since they did get Ryan Reynolds who's a fan of Honest Trailers and both Jackman & Reynolds are pretty cool dudes who love to interact with fans so maybe at some point he might be interested, who knows.

They'll always deny it. Even when they changed one freaking letter to make it Simba. Great movie, but at least they should be big enough to admit the origins.

No, the Lion King is the original. Nobody knows what a Kimba is.

Guys.... Simba means Lion, Kimba just changed the first letter of an african word of lion. The similarities aren’t that big...

Kevin Liu i reccomend looking deeper into the issue, you’ll find the similarities aren’t that big

@Emmanuel Brijandez have you ever read Hamlet. Or do you just repeat after Disney like a parrot?

Truly profound lyrics.

MrBanankartong The lyrics could say anything and we wouldn't know it.

"Look, there goes a lion (yes there's a lion, a lion)" or something to that effect. Which is the funniest thing, and makes sense now that we know he only had what the director told him the movie was about to go off.

GoldeneBremm Theres also a Thor, Deadpool and winter soldier trailer reaction by the directors.

I watched that video too

His original name was taka before he became scar

Len Draugathiel i think they gave him the name "mud" or "dirt"... Which in african it is "Taka"

True, Their parents showed serious favoritism, Mufasa means king and Scar's real name, Taka, means Trash

iSpyPlays African is not a language boo 😂

MrQuickshot117 I loved that movie growing up :D

MrQuickshot117 That was legitimately in my top 3 fav Disney movies when I was a kid. It is very imaginative and has a sense of wonder and exploration to it that no other movie can quite match.

Very true.

I loved it too and haha I remember having a crush on that mechanic girl. xD (Yes I know she's a cartoon character lmao).

Vinnie was my all time favorite character in that movie. "Fuses, wicks, glue, and...paper clips, big ones. You know just, eh, office supplies." "BOOM! No more Chinese Laundry." *Bridge blows up: "Okay, now you can go." Milo: "Great, well do you have any suggestions!?" Vinnie: "Yeah, don't get shot!"

*hyenas laughing in the distance*

Fully agreed, but I can on the other hand fully subscribe to the notion that for some it is the weakest of all those songs, because the other songs are also fantastic!

lumariadp BE PREPAAARRRRRREEDD

Never seen 1, only 2 and 3 (Which i completely agree with), may have to watch that 1st film, see how it goes

MyOpinion DontDis It's actually a series called the Land Before Time. It's aimed towards young children and follows the story of a young brontosaurus (?) named Littlefoot. I believe that scene happens in the first episode. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I've seen it.

it was a movie. then had 13 direct to dvd sequels and a tv series after it

The Dumbo one shreds me inside.

Mike0908 no you're right, I was teen by the time they announced the first "sequel", too old to be objective on comparisons, they just seemed boring but I still can watch the first one, beautiful.

They're FUNNY. The opening line is (loosely) is "hey dad it's a lion"!

You mean the empire that the british defeated

Yes!! And as a kid,one thing that bothered the fuck out of me was...Hakuna matata does NOT mean...no worries!! It means...NO TROUBLE!!! which they could've just said.the music would've been the same!

@@superstarreviews9937 It means no worries. You probably just found a different translation

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 it means No Problem. In Tanzania and Zanzibar its an everyday phrase.

Blue Meanies already happened

Blue Meanies Only that's CinemaSins not Screen Junkies

Joe B It lasted all day 😂

That'd be cool, but...wrong channel. (Though you probably already knew that)

Everything wrong with..... is CinemaSins this is Screen Junkies who do honest trailers i'll admit they are similar in what they do but different channels non the less.

the animation industry puts focus on talent, not on degrees. The more you know~

Saheim al'Din Jafhar - I was going to Google the hell out of this and post it, but I'm glad I read the comments instead. I bought a CD once that was the movie soundtrack as well as extra songs from the production. It came with the lyrics in the sleeve - so I've always known (kind of) what they were saying... but this is much better. Thank you! **edited for spelling**

Hehe not bad nice try. Close.

Respect you for making a large super close effort. Honestly. Most people just say inombal ngonablala. And think it's Swahili. Lol

@@genemedia3315 definitely not swahili😂

@@Xioaqua88 Lol Right!? Which I can not speak by the way haha. Wish I could

I was looking for this

He even sounds like him

I was hoping to find something like this... 😂😂😂

Omg u right!!!

Exactly my thoughts when I first saw him. Also his voice, reminds me a lot of Ryan Reynolds' as well :)

bandotaku I imagine this will be what Ryan Reynolds is like when he’s older

Yep. Especially the german version.

Apfeljunge666 EVER. EVEEER.

He directed what is likely the most memorable animated movie of all time, he has nothing to fear from a few jokes.

CidGuerreiro1234 Directing one of the most memorable animated films could certainly give someone quite the ego boost too. Had that happened, his reaction to the Honest Trailer could have gone horribly. Thankfully he did have a great sense of humor, lol.

Michael Leary Couldn't agree more.

But when ur brother starts screwing ur women, maybe u should rethink about ur Kingdom 🌚

- There's a book that speaks of Mufasa and Scar as youngs. It's called "The Lion King: A Tale of Two Brothers", it's written by Alex Simmons - It would be cool and different to see Mufasa and Scar as kids in a movie

Tatiana Oliveira not cannon

@@Brand0n3500Official people say that about the lion guard too though. I'm not sure its canon since none of the movie sequels show Kion or his friends.

@@amyschildgamerlive4519 In the last season, they explain why.

Nick Palumbo VCR's are evil. They eat your favorite movies.

Nick Palumbo Others do the same with porn.

Nick Palumbo Exactly the same thing happened to me, that's crazy😂

Nick Palumbo same thing happened to me!!

my VCR ate Aladdin and I freaked.

Soooooo underrated!!! One of the best movies ever!

Kristoffer Butler it's funny I've never seen it but I'm Egyptian

Kristoffer Butler ok I just watched the first bit and I already recognize the story, I've known it forever and I love it (it's in the Quran too :p) I'm gonna watch the rest now, but it's not following it exactly, a bit changed to make a cooler story and I don't mind :p

If you enjoy it (which I think you will because people of all faiths and those that don't have one enjoy it), then I'm glad I pointed you in its direction.

SalmaX33 SalmaX33 I hope you like it! It's by far my favourite movie based on a religious story; usually, the writers/directors simplify the story and characters to the point that no one acts like real people (because being a true believer means you never make mistakes or stress about what path to take, right? Right?), but this movie makes the people relatable and their actions understandable. Also, the music is quite good. :) Now you have me curious about how similar the versions of the story are between the Old Testament and the Quran... To Google!

Allen Douangchak Stephanie Meyer would probably start crying.

But the movies were successful wouldn't it be better to take the roasts in stride

Allen Douangchak the honest trailer for the first Twilight film starts with "from one of the shittiest authors of all time"... so maybe inviting her wouldn't be such a good idea haha

Or after, if all the plastic has gotten out of the way.

Why? It doesn’t really matter at all, does it?

Tbh at first glance I thought it was him and I was like "Hold up, that ain't right" 😂😂😂

imperium RANDOM I thought the SAME thing. xD

Roynerds*

He is 55. He directed the lion king at 32 or something like that. You guys know some pretty shot out 30 years olds..

MöpelPlatsch he kind of looks like Ryan Reynolds

times are changing ... people aging different nowadays

I thought you were talking about Mufasa for a second, and I was like, there's no way that guy is over 25.

Um well there’s been a few

Don't wanna be rude but... how old are you?

under_score doesnt taka mean snake or eagle or something?

In Swahili, as a verb it means to "want" or "wish", while as a noun it means "waste"--as in trash. This is established in a short barely cannonical book "The Six New Adventures of The Lion King." But a lot of people accept this as cannon. In a way, Scar's real name is also a really mean nickname.

Taka means garbage xD

Taka was from Kimba the white Lion. which is what Lion King borrowed from.

ye, my little naruto friend. taka, in japanese, means hawk

Ikr I feel like I've wasted my life

+RS0h7 Videos Me too. Let's be productive now and make cute babies.. 😊

RS0h7 Videos me too, just watchin' useless videos.. 😒😒😒

caffeineadvocate ehh... That can wait, but watching Screen Junkies cant

if you want to feel even worse Orson Welles made Citizen Kane when he was 26

Wait, isn´t "simba" swhahili for "lion"?

"Nants Ingonyama" is Zulu. Also, as far as I know, TLK is the first ever Disney film to be totally dubbed in Zulu. Ingonyama is Zulu for Lion. Here is an interesting Quora answer on the chant. This person says that, in this context, it's no ordinary lion, as "Ingonyama" is used to refer to a Zulu king. Also, only royals can wear leopard print (www.quora.com/What-are-the-lyrics-of-the-Lion-King-introduction-What-do-they-mean/answer/David-Barnes-76?srid=RjQl).

Niklas Hansen yes, but Zulu and Swahili are two different languages

I know, but the songs, as far as I know, contain Zulu lyrics, while most of the character's names are Swahili (Mufasa = king, Simba = lion, Sarabi = Mirage, Pumbaa = Simple Minded...).

wait, so he was a lion named lion?....Wow REAL creative dad.

Chef I think they meant in relation to box office sales

Brother bear was my favourite

I've never seen Brother Bear, but I loved Emperor's New Groove and Atlantis was good too.

What about Tarzan?!

I believe they were talking about how all those movies didn’t do well in the box office. Almost all the movies shown in that second are I love but a few bad choices mixed with bad luck made it hard for them to make a little more money with those movies. Hence it being the downfall...

I've always been a life-long _Lion King_ fan, but I never really appreciated the 'realness' of the story until I started getting into sub-Saharan African music (particularly South African music) and realizing how much they were influential to the film and Broadway show's soundtrack, because once you actually learn the words to the various isiZulu songs and lyrics you realize how deep the themes run (especially in the Broadway show's 'exclusive' songs) and it just makes the whole thing that much more powerful.

And he wants you to respect his life choices.

Lol

Scar's birth name, Taka, is the Swahili word for "waste", disney.wikia.com/wiki/Scar

wow so Scar is actually better lol

"no it's not. I speak horse. He says his name is Susan, and he wants you respect his life choices"

Current canon says it's Ahadi

lol, that wasn't written by the original staff, but by independently contracted children's book writers that Disney hired--likely through 3rd party publishing. That's why they didn't include any of that material in the later adaptations. It's not cannon.

iamSketchH r/woooooosh

Sameeeee

*shrugs* why should i worry (pun intended)

WHY SHOULD I WORRY~?! Because I know it’ll happen eventually.....

I feel stupid because I don't get it :(

Caleb Dearing i think its from plants vs zombies

I'm not sure about that. I personally prefer unfrozen directors.

They don't have a new DVD version to sell yet

LOL!!!

@MrLaxinator Lol!

MrLaxinator lul

He doesn't even try to hide the fact that they ripped it off. It's almost hilarious.

lol, really the stories themselves are nothing alike if you've watched both movies (and the Kimba series). The key similarities are some of the character designs and screen shot concepts. He probably said "I gotta go" because people are so triggered by it that it's sparked online battles. So yeah, that's a pretty funny reaction in that regard.

I love how all the Kimba stans never even watched it lmao

@@mikewalker678 it's quite pathetic really

@@jacobsellers4362 how does it feel being an idiot?

Means trash Not any better (I bet you already knew)

Non-canon.

Which means roughly "garbage."

No, it is Larry.

no it's not

See I was thinking his mannerisms and way he is reminds me a LOT of Adam Savage, of Mythbusters.

You're so right! I kept thinkingh, ive seen someone who reminds me of him so much, but who? It is Adam Savage

Now that you point it out... can't unsee it

ezio auditore He looks more like a thin Jon Favreau to me honestly

ezio auditore, fucking how?

Talus Tanat Nope.

Talus Tanat it's Larry now

I would like his name to be Chad.

Talus Tanat wasn't Scarlet

Oh my God. It WASN'T Taka. I would've thought this very interview would have finally made people realize that it was NOT Taka. I mean, _if it was_ then this director right here in this freakin' video interview would have _said_ so - as he was clearly and directly asked what was Scar's real name!! He did not say it's Taka. Therefore it was never Taka. Pay. Attention.

I like that show...

Well it's for kids for one reason....

Da Dragon Durp ikr

Da Dragon Durp I'm forced to watch it since my little brother adores that show

Its only redeeming quality was that Dan and Phil were in one episode

oggyreidmore THANK YOU I WAS HOPING SOMEONE ELSE KNEW

And let it be known that the song is NOT in Swahili!

@@DKenyanya Ndio! Ninafakiri kwamba wanaimba kwa kizulu.

YES!! Would love to see that.

Xander M Me too.

A well-done villain song can really steal the show. Plus, I can't stop writing parody verses for "Gaston". No one's bad as Gaston No one's mad as Gaston No one makes other characters sad like Gaston No one's rude as Gaston Has bad moods like Gaston No one eats salmonella-filled food like Gaston (all those eggs he swallows)

So which language then?

Keithustus people keep saying it’s in Zulu, so prob Zulu (correct me if I’m wrong)

@@Keithustus the language in the song is Zulu. The phrases and character names are Swahili e.g Hakuna matata, pumba, rafiki and even simba

afro symphony I remember seeing that scene when I was younger. It felt sooooo awkward. I had no idea why though. Innocent me. LOL.

15:08 Pork joke

Duudee how do you bear watching tom cruise😂😂😂

Now I don't want to watch it already

MrAveryBrown The fuck America has to do with this

MrAveryBrown *AHEM* for the world.

America = world apparently

Eleanor Hart They were saying that because all of them are AMERICANS that live in AMERICA.

Milla Cabral "He Lives in You." is the name of the song from Lion King 2.

Love Will Find a Way was pretty good too in the second movie

My mother helped animate that scene :D

I loved the Deception song.

@@ayiciamurray9079 That's called "Not one of us". All the songs in the first two LK movies were good.

They should remake The Black Cauldron... a GOOD remake. The original was a travesty.

Kayley Russell He got his scar from an attacka 😂😂

Valery Sanchez nice

Kayley Russell From his dad I think

Well, apparently Scar was playing with Mufasa and he got his scar that way...

Taka isn't canon. It's from one of the children's books.

How does it make you feel now watching this comment?

I feel fine, no big deal.
