I was born in 1991...I remember these previews so well. The nostalgia...I'm actually in tears 😭

I'm crying 😭 this is literally my childhood right here

Damn, I miss my childhood. This takes me right back to 1999 when I was 3 years old and would sit in front of the TV all day watching The Lion King back to back without a single care or worry in the world. The first opening was my favorite because it would always give me that magical Disney feeling.

This opening always felt different from the other Disney VHS openings. This movie always felt different from other Disney movies. It was a good kind of different in both cases.

The Lion King VHS is the reason I know the words to Colors of the Wind.

I love the old Disney blue screen it’s so simple…the new one with the park and castle is so sensory overwhelming!

Thank you so much. It’s 5am and my roommate and I started talking about the intro to Lion King and it’s crazy how much we remembered about this!!! What a trip down memory lane!

I still have all of my Disney VHS tapes simply because the openings are so nostalgic!!

I know it isn't at all historically accurate, but man, if that preview for "Pocahontas" didn't get me intrigued and excited for the movie! It was gorgeously drawn and animated, and that song really sweeps you up.

The Aristocats is a #1 film filled with excitement, romance, and music you'll be dancing to all night long.

"And now, our feature presentation." Oh how that brings me back to my childhood

My childhood has come back from the dead

I remember watching this on my brothers TV while they were at school and I was too little to go, they taught me how to work a VCR so I can watch a movie whenever I wanted. Good times...good times...

I was born in 1992 and I remember watching this before the movie started, now I’m going to go watch the Lion King 2019 on June 18. This is crazy.

I read someone's comment on here saying that the opening of this VHS felt different from the others. I felt that too and, after watching it a couple times, I realized what it was that made it feel that way: the "Pocahontas" trailer. Putting a full song (the best song in "Pocahontas," in my opinion) into the trailer, the choice of scenes they chose to incorporate and the way they wove it all together spoke of something grand and magnificent. It was a fitting and worthy trailer given the overall tone of "The Lion King," which is why I think they chose to include the entire song for it. But I do distinctly remember thinking as a child that the feel of this opening was far different from all the rest.

The Disney World commercial was probably the only thing I remember from this VHS 😭

I think I'm even more nostalgic about these commercials than I am about the actual movie.

Thank you so much for posting this!! I watched The Lion King VHS so much that the tape got stuck in the VCR and ruined around 20 years ago. Seeing this for the first time in years brought back so many memories. :')

These are the only trailers I don’t mind watching! 😭❤️

I was born in 1995. Having grown up with VHS all my life, these particular previews sure bring back some wonderful memories, especially the Pocahontas trailer with the song Colors Of The Wind (I’ll never forget the first time I saw that trailer). At times, I still imagine my 5-year-old self from 20 years ago watching The Lion King on VHS in its entirety.

This brought back memories omg I appreciate this

Stuff like this makes me want to shed a tear.

Just wanna say, thank you for uploading this. At 28yrs old, its nice to travel back in time to me sitting in front of my grandparents tv.

Interesting trivia: this was the best-selling VHS tape in this history of home video. Over 32 million tapes sold in the U.S. alone. Finding Nemo eventually sold more, but on DVD.

Ah yes, these were the days before digital movie streaming services, DVD's and Blu-Ray's were a thing. I miss the good old fashioned VHS tape (which you had to have the actual copy of, no downloading) that you inserted into your VCR in order to watch the movies you wanted to watch. I threw out my VCR years ago because it was broken, but I would love to own one again just to relive these memories of watching home videos the old fashioned way.

On June 23rd, 1995 Walt Disney Pictures brings an American legend to life.

This brings back memories...

I may legitimately have to play this on my tv before every viewing of my Lion King Blu Ray to make it an authentic experience.

Cinderella had her heart to guide her, she had her friends to help her, and she had a Fairy Godmother to make her dreams come true.

I never thought I would actually miss movie advertisements in my VHS tapes.

I mean... i literally started tearing up, how can people think there is no God. Look at such a beautiful masterpiece in all the infinite nature of the universe. So proud to be a 90s kid. 🥰💙

You mean to tell me they stuck the ENTIRE VERSION of Colors of the Wind into ONE preview?

I was born in 1989 man i really loved watching these previews as a kid and I used to watch the lion king all the time man what memories I had as a kid

Wow this takes me back. I remember watching this movie on VHS when I was little. Born in 1994

I was born in 92 and I remember the Disney World preview on here always made me want to go to Disney World so badly. Luckily I was able to go when I was 8 and it was such a great time. Goofy definitely was huge

That aristocats trailer, wow that memory was buried real deep

0:24 I just noticed that the piano music in the background is playing A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes!!!🎶

I was born in 1995. I grew up watching these on VCR tapes. I watched the lion King my whole life.

Man those kids with the suitcase made me wanna go to Disney World sooo bad as a kid. But alas my family was too poor.

Whenever I see Joseph Gordon Levitt I still refer to him as "that kid from Angels in the Outfield" 😅

My Dearest Mother did not care for The Lion King, or Pocahontas, because she was a religious Catholic. But I'm going to be honest: I actually feel her presence in The Lion King and Pocahontas. My Dearest Mother went to the Spirits in 2012, and I hope she knows how much I love her. Because I love her very much. Everytime I listen to The Circle of Life, and Mufasa explaining to Simba about how his time will set on the Kingdom, and Simba's reign will dawn, and when I listen to Colors of the Wind, and You Will Understand, I always feel my Dearest Mother's presence. I love you, Dearest Mother.

I know the words to all of these previews and the movie 💙💙💙. I’m 30 and still put Lion King on if I can’t fall asleep

The K Lion King was the first VHS movie we had that I gravitated towards when I was a kid. I watched it literally all the time, so I remember seeing these trailers very well. Especially the very first one. I was thinking the other day how I wish I could find this and see what was on there. This took me right back to my childhood. Very nostalgic for me.

The Lion King is the story of a young cub named Simba, who is destined to become King of the Jungle

I remember this Previews when I was a Little Kid, My God this took me back for my Childhood.

3:02 Yes! I can paint with all the colors of the wind!

1:24 Pocahontas Trailer Taken From The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure 1994 VHS (Disney)

I remember watching this tape...like it was yesterday.

I still have this VHS, and I saw this on Freeform last week or so, but sadly, this film when it was on Freeform has the 2006 WDP logo instead of the 1990 WDP and the 2003 “Flashlight” logo, that’s an example of what they called logo plastering. I used to have the “Platinum Edition” DVD and has the 2003 “Flashlight” logo plastered over this one, and the “Diamond Edition” has the 2006 logo plastered over this one, same goes with the “Signature Edition” and the digital copy of this movie that I downloaded recently. Logo plastering sucks when I saw this last night on Freeform where the 2006 logo was shown.

I remember watching this my first came out, and being especially excited to see the trailer for the Cinderella VHS, since I had missed owning it the first time around.

Brings back memories

Timon: Where's the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo, Pumbaa? Pumbaa: Gone. due to Disney not re-releasing Pinocchio, The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Fox and the Hound into the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection, because of the IMAX re-releases. However, The WDMC logo made it's last appearance on early DVD releases of Pinocchio, some prints of The Fox and the Hound and UK prints of The Rescuers Down Under.

This is amazing thank you for the memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These Disney movie trailers before lion king comes on are my best childhood!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊

I guess with the trailer for The Aristocats appearing on the Lion King VHS, I assume that film was originally going to be released onto VHS for its 25th anniversary in 1995, but for some reason was pushed back to April 24, 1996. A similar trailer appears on the Pocahontas VHS.

8:30 That sky background reminds me of 1996 Warner Home Video logo background!

I enjoy The Lion King!!! It's a childhood of mine!!! I also enjoy other Disney movies that are as great as The Lion King like the Aristocats, Beauty and the Beast, Fox and the hound, and Lilo and Stitch!!!

So many memories. ❤

This VHS was my intro to Pocahontas and what a good introduction it was.

Opening To The Lion King 1995 VHS

The tape I used to have contains the angels in the outfield preview, but in a different variant.

I’m crying in the club right now.

*after seeing trailer for Pocahontas* We're gonna be RICH

0:24 such a classic Disney preview🙂

Even though you can't see us.. we're always watch.

I remember hating those kids because they got to go to Disneyland and had such a nice house.

If only the Blu-ray had all this stuff

9:50 QUIET!

Petition to bring Mark Elliott and Brian Cummings back to VO Disney+ ads? Maybe bring back WHDV bumpers before playing your selection?

I really miss the animal sounds during the Disney logo.

I still have the same VHS, and it’s going to run on Freeform during the “30 Days of Disney” starting this September, and you will not be seeing the 1990 WDP logo, and it will be showing either the 2006 WDP logo, or the 2010 Disney logo where it will be plastering over the old logo. The VHS had the 1990 logo intact before it got plastered. The 2003 “Platinum Edition” DVD did have the 2001 WDP “Orange Flashlight” logo which was the first film to get plastered. I did not see the live action remake yet, but I hope it will be coming out on digital downloads sometime this year.

11:12 NAAAAAAAAAAANTS INGONYAAAAAAAAAAAMA BAGITHI BABAA!

Just realized that the kid is Joseph Gordon Levitt in Angles in the Outfield

9:49 - "Quiet!"

9:07 - "You're not a lady. You're nothing but a sister!"

Colors of the Wind and the Aristocats trailer... those, I'll never forget.

My childhood in one video!

The angels in the outfield was that extended on my tape

I wish Disney would do this again for Disney+ (like make it an option to have a bunch of coming features before the movie plays). Like seriously, this was legit art.

Danny Glover, Tony Danza, and Christopher Lloyd appear in Angels in the Outfield.

I still have this tape and my VCR still works

i'm saddened that the newer releases of the OG Lion King on blu-ray doesn't use the classic bird chirp sounds when the VHS first came out that time during the opening to the movie

NOSTALGIA!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

I never saw this in theaters, but who saw the movie in 1994?

Childhood...RELIVED......REBORN.

The Characters in the Walt Disney World Commercial are Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, either Chip or Dale and Donald Duck

Imagine if they did the same thing with Mulan or Frozen by having one of their songs be their trailer (you know which song you’re thinking).

I think this was the first vhs I owned

NOSTALGIA

4:55 this logo is so fucking scary as a kid

Also what is strange is that disney animators were skeptical about the working on lion king while they were excited and prepared for the adaptation of pocahontas, but everything went 180. The Lion king because Disney's Surprise blockbuster and greatest achievement ranking at the top with snow white cindrella and little mermaid, breaking box offcie records worldwide for a traditionally animated feature film and became a overnight and worldwide sensation with a lasting legacy, while pochaontas failed to meet all expectations as the box office only made half of the lion king and critics hated it as an inaccurate, poorly executed and boring film with an unfortunate excuse to rewrite history without realizing the reality.

i got this exact same tape 5/25/19 on ebay along with snow white and the seven dwarfs and melody time.

Life and Legend of Pocahontas (1696-1717), Based on the account by John Smith (1580-1631).

“And now, our Feature Presentation.”

It’s unfortunate they removed the dedication note to their late president

5:13 take a look at THAT!

Brings an American Legend to Life....sort of..
