Hey everyone! just wanted to put it down here as well incase you don't watch the intro.. This is a REWATCH this is not my First Time Watching. Hope you enjoy and I will see you tomorrow for more Big Bang Theory!

Fun Fact: After singing the 'You won't get a sniff without me' part, Jeremy Irons blew out his voice and Jim Cummings had to take over.

James Earl Jones is and will always be a national treasure….

WAY BETTER THAN THE 2019 REMAKE! The animals looked so lifeless.

I absolutely love The Lion King, it's my favourite Disney movie ever! Has amazing visuals, fantastic songs and an outstanding cast!

FINALLY!!!! The Lion King is my favorite Disney Movie as WELL!! It was so beautifully written out!! Long Live the King's and Queen's of The PrideLands!!! 💜💜💜

I was born in 1991, so I grew up with this. We watched it in high school in 2008, and it happened to be the 1 year anniversary of my grandmother's death. Mufasa dying hit extra hard, I sat and cried silently. I still cry like a baby to this day. Loved your reaction!

Fun Fact: Lebo M, the guy that sang the opening chant for Circle of Life(Nants Ingoyama) only did one take for said opening chant.

I absolutely love James Earl Jones voice, and something about his speeches as mufasa in this movie gives me goosebumps. And when talking to scar I can only see Darth Vader.

1 of the best disney movies. Good voices, the hyenas were a great supporting antagonist group, and Ed was a absolute riot, the antics of the trio were so good. “It’s not funny, Ed.” and Ed just continuing to laugh regardless always gets me

Zazu: Scar would make a nice throw rug. Cody: Wait, isn't that what happened in Hercules? Me: Yeah. He pretty much deserved it for killing Mufasa. 🤣

Such an amazing movie! All the songs in this are soo good

What i love about scar's defeat is that it was his own fault. Like think about it, scar had simba right where he wanted him, all he had to do was just throw simba off of pride rock, but what does he do instead?? He confesses his crime. And because of that, simba got the strength to fight back and forced him to confess it to everyone which leads the lionesses fight back. And what makes it worse for himself is that he tries to make himself the victim by putting the blame on the hyenas, and of course the hyenas eat him alive. All this happened because he was dumb to do one little mistake... confessing the murder to simba. So yea, his plan was going perfectly but he just couldn't resist to gloat and hurt simba's emotions. And you see, that's the biggest reason why most villains lose, they start to gloat their upcoming victory instead of trying to finish off the heroes, which makes the heroes fight back and get the victory 😂

Fun Fact: Jerome Irons actually blew his vocals (or something along with his voice) at 19:47 and was unable to finish the song so for the rest of the song at 19:51 Jim Cummings is voicing Scar bit he has such an amazing ranch you can barely tell. Be prepared is also my favorite song from this movie Also you pointed out that Simba and Nala were the only cubs of the pride, but let me point out that Mufasa and Scar are the only Male lions of the pride

No matter how many great animated films I watch, The Lion King will always be the best one in my personal opinion! Ever since I saw it at a movie theater back in 1994, it has inspired me to pursue a career in animation. Everything from the story, African musical influence, songs, wonderful cast of characters, and the 2D animation itself, this movie will always be near and dear to me and I will forever be grateful to have become an animator because of it.

The Lion King is an absolute classic from my childhood along with Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast and Disney does know to make a really good movie that makes us cry and laugh and come up with a cast of lovable characters, the songs are some of the best that Disney has ever made and it’s one of the best animated films of all time.

Here’s some fun facts about The Lion King. Though some of you already know them. -In the early stages of production it was under several different titles; King of Kalahari, King of Beast and most notably King of the Jungle. -Rafiki was originally gonna be a cheetah. -It was originally gonna be a war between lions and baboons. -Johnathon Taylor Thomas from Home Improvement plays Young Simba. -Matthew Broderick who plays Adult Simba, previously played in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. -The Mufasa’s ghost scene wasn’t originally gonna be in the movie but they decided to add it so Simba gets motivated to return to the Pride Lands. - Tim Curry was originally gonna play Scar. -Mufasa was originally gonna have a song called “Mighty King of the Wild”. -James Earl Jones & Madge Sinclair (Sarabi) previously played in the Eddie Murphy movie “Coming to America”.

The sad part about Scar is that he wasn't born evil. He was made that way. It's also kind of heartbreaking to see Mufasa and Scar have such a bitter and hateful relationship with each other.

This one is my all time favorite, the soundtrack alone changed my life, Zimmer really outdid himself with this one, it doesn’t come as a surprise he won an Oscar for it. The story has helped me a lot, you’re right it has a lot of valuable lessons.

37:52 The scene of Mufasa's ghost was the last part created. They originally had Mufasa dying with no further appearances. But writers felt that Simba really needed to see his father again.

This will forever be a true classic.

What an incredible movie… ❤ A good lesson is well, “the past can hurt, but you can either run away from it or learn from it” coming from a company where most of the time their movie lessons are follow your dreams or wishes can come true. Love the characters and music in this too, plus animation is amazing, definitely one of my top 5 favourite Disney movies. 🌄

5 year old me would never think or believe that circle of life would make adult me cry like a baby

I adore this movie the music is very classic and it's so memorable. Just his father before him Simba is just as strong and wise as his father Mufasa. Thanks so much Cody for reacting to this very incredible movie.

While this 1994 Disney classic is notable for its Shakespearean tone, I enjoyed it not just for the protagonist, his funny friends, and a charismatic villain. But the music of Hans Zimmer, along with the songs of Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice were incredibly phenomenal in epic proportions!

Me: Hakuna Matata. My little sister: What? My friend: Hakuna Matata, it means "No worries."

From the sunrise to the christening of Simba and Nala's cub, this movie is perfection 🦁👑

I grew up watching and loving this movie. The nostalgia this movie brings is just beautiful. In 2014 when I was in year 12, my music teacher said The Lion King has been out for 20 years and it's still one of the best movies ever, you cannot get bored out of it.

My absolute favorite animated film of all time and my favorite film overall! Everything from the characters, the story, the emotion, and the music! All perfection!

I’ve watched it countless times, and I still tear up every time mufasa dies :’(

Be Prepared is without a doubt my all time #1 favorite Disney villain song.

Lion king is one of the best father-son movies togeter with Finding Nemo, Kung fu panda and How to train your dragon. This amazing cartoon hits much harder as an adult since I lost my father. I hope you will experience these emotions much later in your life. The drawings are so great that even watching dogs were sad and distressed at the grieving scenes.

The Lion King: Disney's Magnum Opus. This MASTERPIECE was my introduction to James Earl Jones & Matthew Broderick.

I recently saw the Broadway show of TLK and it was spectacular! I was in awe of the actors, puppets, music, and special effects. It was a wonderful experience that I’ll never forget!

18:19 I remember watching this film in 3D at the cinema, and absolutely everyone burst out laughing along with Ed! Even I did, and I knew it was coming xD

18:17-18:25 That hidneas laugh always killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here’s what the African words in “Circle of Life” mean and how they’re pronounced. Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala. Here comes a lion, father, Oh yes it’s a lion. Here comes a lion, father, Oh yes it’s a lion. A lion we’re going to conquer, a lion and a leopard come to this open place.

I love your reaction to this film. One of my favorites. I couldn’t stop laughing and crying along. Goes to show that this film is a masterpiece.

One of the most upsetting deaths in Disney, but hands down the absolute saddest death is the death of the oldest brother in Brother Bear

I remember watching The Lion King as a kid, and as an adult and an animal lover, I'm enjoying this. The live-action remake is a blatant copy of the original only for the sake of 'answering the plot holes' which are misconstrued and unimportant in the films that people questioned over the years. If The Little Mermaid live-action remake was only made to answer plot holes, like Ariel wrote a sign to communicate with Eric, instead of making something new, like 2016 The Jungle Book, or adapting the original books, then it'll fall to the same trap as The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast remake.

Here's something interesting about this movie: One of the songs that was added in the musical version, called 'the morning report' was actually added into the special edition of the movie with new animation, during simba's pouncing lesson. I always knew the movie to feature it since it was the first version I saw, so it's always weird to see a version without that song included. I honestly prefer having the song myself.

I love Disney's The Lion King (1994)! It's such a good movie, and it's one of the best animated feature films ever! I wish I could have gotten it on DVD! This movie so good!

As a child, I never truly noticed all the themes and messages of this movie. As a kid, I thought Hakuna Matata was the message, but it's not just it. While bad things do happen, and you can't do anything about it, you still need to move forward and upkeep your responsibilities. It's actually about family bonds, friendship and overcoming trauma. It actually makes me appreciate the move even more as an adult.

This movie is a gold mine and popular animation in 1994

Nice reaction, I love The Lion King so much. Timon and Pumbaa are my favorites. My favorite song is “Be Prepared.” You know, Cody, The Lion King 1 1/2, also known as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata, is a retelling of the first Lion King, but from Timon and Pumbaa’s perspective, because it tells the backstory of how they first met and what they were up to all along while the first half of the movie was focusing on Simba, prior to him meeting Timon and Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa were also watching their own movie in the theaters, which I’m sure it’s their twin doppelgängers who look and act the same way as their actual versions that belong inside the movie, and the film also includes an extended version of the song, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” which I love that version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

I'm 31 and I have a special connection with this movie as well. Wow have a home video of my two older brothers dancing around in our living room to the soundtrack of this movie while I toddle around in the background.....there's also a home video of my middle brother pressing random piano keys while singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" before adding his own lyrics

This movie was my fav as a kid and I still do love it to this day🙏

The lion king has been my favorite Disney movie for as long as I remember. Every time I went to my aunts house, I turn it on. I’m so proud of my Kenyan heritage even though the lion king is Tanzanian. I also had the figurines when I was a kid. I could go on and on, but I’m glad we both share the affinity of the lion king

Went to see the Broadway show when it visited where I live over the summer. Absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend enough

The hyenas are totally hilarious especially their laughs!

I have a tattoo of Simba on my left bicep since Lion King is my all time favorite movie!! The music, the animation, and the story are just *chef's kiss*💜

Doesn't matter if it's your first time or thousandth! Movie always gets you in the feels and has lessons everyone can learn from! I would also suggest seeing the sequel!

Fun fact: In the first broadway presentation the actor who played Simba as an adult voiced Denahi in Brother Bear

The Lion King is prob one of my favorite disney movies! So glad you watched the lion king, and I requested this in one of your live vids.

My childhood classic and also the beginning always gives me Goosebumps

To this day almost 30 years later still my favourite movie of all time

Man i love this movie so much. And the sequel is just as good, not as good as this but easily one of the best sequels Disney has done for a highly successful animated disney movie

Lion king will always be one hell of a masterpiece!!!!!! 😎

Yeaaaassssss Cody!!! Finally this was the reaction I have been waiting so long for thank you so much

I've actually been to the area inspired by the wildebeest stampede. in Kenya it's a region called the Hell's Gate Gorge. I've walked through it. this one the pinnacle of the Disney Renaissance back in the day. the best of that whole decade of those animated films from Disney.

The Lion King is a true Disney classic with memorable characters, a powerful and emotional story, great humor, amazing visuals, and an amazing voice cast.

Like I said before, Circle of Life is an ICONIC movie opening.

I'm back to rewatch this reaction. And, as far as Be Prepared goes, one would think that I'm on Scar's side as well. I'm not, but there's no denying it: Be Prepared goes EXTRA HARD every time.

I was literally just thinking about this! Wow, what a coincidence

The Lion King is such a phenomenal piece of Disney history for not just being on of its best movies, it’s one of the best movies period. Thanks for sharing this little trip down memory lane Cody.

I swear Cody is such an emotional sweetheart when he watches these movies.

James Earl Jones bro👏

So Zazu can be ran over multiple times, hold an entire adult rhino for a few seconds, but falls unconscious by being hit on a wall? My man's built differently.

Lion king and Brother bear were my childhood!!!

Lions do not roar that loud. The roars you hear are in fact someone roaring in a microphone next to an empty metal trashcan.

Lion king was my first movie theater movie. And will always be my number one Disney movie

That mic looks like mine 👀💪🏽💪🏽 nice ! Gotta quadcast buddy now ! Lol Nice vid too!

22:58 I don't think enough people realize not only does Mufasa realise that he's about to be murdered-knowing him that's probably the least of his concern-but he's just realised it's all a trap. The fate of the kingdom now relies on a tyrant. His brother finally got what he always wanted. And worst of all? His son is still alive. He knows simba's still alive because he got him onto the perch before he tried to get himself to safety. Mufasa knew scar was going after simba next, and he couldn't save him.

Fun story my grandmother actually met Ernie Sabella the voice of Pumbaa once a long time ago. He was visiting his mother at the nursing home my grandmother was working at and she got me his autograph. Its something I still have to this very day and even though my grandmother is gone I look at the autograph and remember her telling me the story. Side note...Ed is my favorite hyena. Lol😂

That scene where Mufasa's ghost appears and talks to Simba still sends goosebumps all over my body and shiver up my spine because of how powerful it sounds. I also think back to Pumbaa's farts and I thought to myself. " Pumbaa's butt bombs must be pretty potent if they not only knock down the grass but also kill the flies as well "

For me Prince of Egypt still holds that tittle but I absolutely ADORE The Lion King 😍😍😍.

Thank you so much for this rewatch! The Lion King was literally my life; I’m the same age as the film. I got to do make up for the junior stage musical and aspire to be Pumbaa in the Broadway musical. I can’t wait for you to see the sequel. I really hope you’ll consider doing the midquel, The Lion King 1 1/2. #stayterrific 🦁👑💛🧡❤️

5:17 Mufasa and Sarabi: "(To Simba) I'm so proud of you"

This movie, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, ranks first among my favorite childhood movies, excellent video. I would like you to react to the Danish movie Druk: The Last Round, from the year 2020, with the leading role of Mads Mikkelsen, I think that nobody has reacted to it, and I think that is a film that everyone should see ❤️

The Lion King is definitely one of if not my all time favorite animated Disney film. What I love so much is how well this film was made. I sort of drifted away but the Lion king will always hold a place in my heart. I remember how excited I was to see the movie in 4th grade. It was incredible. And after seeing all the deleted scenes it was very easy for this film to either bomb or be to horrifying for kids so I’m couldn’t have wanted this film to result in any other way. It is a gold standard perfect film beginning to end and I hope it stays that way.

Scar is definitely the best Disney Villain! No one could replace Jeremy Irons as Scar!

How did I miss this reaction till now?! My fave Disney movie even after all this time. Your reaction for Mufasas death made me want to reach into the screen and just give ya a hug and tell you it would be okay… haha😂 I am in the UK so saw the west end production when I was 17 and yeah it’s AMAZING! Wouldn’t mind going to see it again to be honest! Great reaction as always! 😊

what Zazu said about Scar being a rug it later become true in Hercules

The way you we're getting emotional watching this movie... I felt the exact same thing. The Lion King is my confort movie and probably my all-time fav. Great reaction as always. Now waiting for tbbt

Love the 1994 Lion King. I grew up with it. Simba's relationship with His Father makes me think about God Our Abba Father In Heaven. We Must ALWAYS Like Simba Remember Who We Are. Children of The Most High King of Israel and Creator and Sustainer of Our Earth 🌎 ❤️

When I first saw this It had the morning report song.

I love this movie for its Amazing Score by Hans Zimmer Won him his first Oscar!!!

The very first time in my life that I watched this movie it was already 6 years old cuz it came out in 1994 if I remember right. So even though I had no clue what they were saying well English words wise just watching the picture alone I had an idea what was going on, and man does it hit somebody that doesn't know English very well, but gets an idea by just pictures alone. I had to say my worst part would have to be the Stampede secen simply because there was so much chaos going on, and then the aftermath. Yet at the same time when Simba return to take his place the Battle of Pride Rock and him versus scar. Man now that was awesome even though it was a bit obviously brutal they still knew how to nail it in the animation department. I think that's probably one of my more favorable parts.

okay first thing, childhood movie! Still so epic as it had been when it first was released. I wanted to hug you every time you cried, especially with Mufasa's death. I can't wait for Simba's pride though along with train to busan. Great reaction of a great rewatch, though! Can't wait for the next one!

One of the best animated movies of all time great music great story great comedy and really good animation and quality special for at that time it came out

A big thing that goes over people's heads is Simbas practice roar in the gorge he thought caused the stampede wasn’t because Scar teased him about it. It was because Scar implied MUFASA was talking about it to the other lions and laughing about it, hence how Scar knew.

11:50 You know in real life the King of a pride of lions always kills all the cubs other than his own and forms a harem with all the female lions, so Simba and Nala are in fact half siblings...press like if I ruined your childhood.

Small detail: sambas adult eyes are white and red. But when he remembers his father, they change to orange and maroon. Just like his dads

One of the Disney films that can compete with movies from major studios.

The Lion King is, to this day, my favorite Disney movie. And I know he's evil, but I love Scar. I saw this movie when it came out in theaters, then they re-released it in theaters for it's 10th anniversary and I saw that. Then I saw it a few years after that, when they released it on IMAX. Plus, I watched the VHS, and later, the DVD of this movie more times than I can count. I actually know the entire movie by heart, lol. I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to The Lion King 2. A lot of times, the Disney sequels are not very good, but The Lion King 2 is an excellent movie. The songs in the second movie rival the songs of the first one. The first Lion King movie has the Hamlet storyline, where the second film is more like Romeo and Juliet. There is also The Lion King 1 1/2. It came out after The Lion King 2. I didn't care for it as much, but it's still worth watching. I absolutely loved the musical, too. I live in California, but the Broadway cast went on tour and I saw it in Hollywood...twice! You'll recognize one of the songs from the musical in The Lion King 2. I also saw the live-action version. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still bad. They totally butchered "Be Prepared", which is my favorite song in The Lion King. The original animated version is still so much better.

The music in this movie is just…👌🏻

5:17 Mufasa and Sarabi: "(Individually and nonverbally to Simba) I'm *SO* proud of you"

I really love how the song "Be Prepared" is just Scar insulting the hyenas for 3 1/2 minutes straight while plotting to murder his brother and nephew.

Simba: *scratches Shenzi* Cody and me: oh
