Not only is Mufasas' voice done by James Earl Jones, who was the King in Coming to America (as well as Darth Vaders voice) but the voice of his queen Sarabi in this movie is the same actress (Madge Sinclair) that played James Earl Jones queen in Coming to America as well.

I cannot believe that he disregarded the important line the Circle of Life, “When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass.” I don’t mind recognizing voices and appreciating how great they sound, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of attention to the important lines.

I love this movie, the stampede took 3 years to complete. The be prepared song blew the vocal chords in scars voice actor.. we 90s kids learned some valuable lessons from this movie... Mainly even family can do evil things to harm you! In reality lionesses hide their cubs till about 3-4 months or until they are strong enough to keep up, but by the age 2 they are banished from the pride. So Simba was about that old when he came back... And scar would have been next in line after Mufasa because bachelor brothers run prides together... So scar banishing Simba is accurate! The fear is Mufasa's eyes weren't for himself it was for his son cause he finally realized how evil his brother actually was .. timon is a meerkat 😂😂

Lionesses actually introduce their cubs after 6-8 weeks when they are robust enough to withstand the physicalities of pride dynamics…not sure where you got 3-4 months? It’s very rare that a lioness stays away that long as it opens herself and her cubs to unnecessary prolonged vulnerability and risks. And it’s between ages 2-3 when males reach sexual maturity they are ousted. Simba’s mane growth in the film as he returns to pride rock is also not consistent at all with a 2 year old lion, but 4-5 year old male.

7:14 That's the voice of the legendary James Earl Jones, who also voiced Darth Vader throughout the original Star Wars. Once you hear it, you can't get it out of your head...it's such a thrilling contrast between a chilling synthetic-voiced dark lord and a dulcet-toned King of Beasts.

This movie is by far the best thing Disney ever produced. It had a massive impact on me as a kid, teaching me the meaning of death, evilness and betrayal. Todays movies lack the ability to teach those life lessons and I wish Disney had the spine to do something like this again. But sadly they don't.

Yes, Shenzi the hyena is indeed voiced by Whoopi Goldberg! You are correct. Mufasa is voiced by James Earl Jones, you are correct that he is the king in Coming to America! He is also best known as the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. Young Simba is voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who played the young boy Randy (the son of Tim Allen's character) in the 90s TV show Home Improvement. You seem to be a millenial like me, so perhaps you remember that show. It was really popular in the 90s. And older Simba is voiced by Matthew Broderick best known from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Godzilla 1998.

It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this movie doesn't matter how many times I've seen the movie, the scene where Simba finds Mufasa dead in the gorge always gets me in the heart. Especially the fact that Scar gaslights Simba into thinking it was his (Simba's) fault. Also, I am very glad they cast James Earl Jones as Mufasa. As much as I respect the actor, they almost cast Christopher Walken. Side note: Some of the character's names have meanings translated out of Swahili Simba: Lion Nala: Gift Mufasa: King Sarabi: Mirage Rafiki: Friend Timon: Respect Pumbaa: Slow-Witted Zazu: Movement

its really refreshing to see someone take this movies themes and values on a naturalistic level, rather than getting all political and cynical with it. This is a film about balance, about stepping into the roles in our communities that only we can fill, about overcoming our past and meeting our destiny surrounded by our people. and how the world around us can thrive when we give it the respect it needs. this is in my humble opinion one of the finest traditionally animated films of all time and it always gives me the feels:)

If you notice that Scar's voice is a bit different during the last part of Be Prepared is that it wasn't Jeremy Irons who sung it. His voice got destroyed when he did "You won't get a sniff without me!" so Jim Cummings (who voices Ed the Hyena and is the voice of Pete, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Razoul, Ray and several other Disney and non-Disney voies) stepped in to complete the song.
