haha xD thats golden!
No worries, you're allowed to be wrong.
Fun fact: The Lion King and Pocahontas were in production at the same time, with it being believed that Pocahontas was the next Disney classic and The Lion King being the B-movie. If you were working on The Lion King, you were like the second-rate team.
Disney clearly underestimated people's love of homicidal lions.
Wow, that's crazy to think about. Sucks for the Pocahontas production team :P
The Lion King crew must have been in heaven after seeing the general reception.
I remember going to the cinema watching this with my Dad. We watched the opening few minutes with 'Circle of Life' and I was nearly in tears at the end of it. I remember my Dad turning to me and saying " I can happily leave now and feel like I've got my moneys worth".
Still my favourite Disney film to this day.
TLK almost didn't even get made, I thought? Or was that another Disney movie.
The movie version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" was originally totally recorded with Timon & Pumba singing it (as opposed to just the first bit and Elton John was -furious- and told production that they've ruined everything.. So they changed it. At least that's what I remember.
I absolutely love TLK. I used to have the entire like 1st 30 minutes or so completely memorized word for word. It wasn't the first Disney movie I saw in theaters, though.. -That- was The Little Mermaid.
I bought it formyselfParker when it came out on DVD a couple of years ago... In the opening song, she'd belt out "NAAAHHHHHZABENYAAAA KONICHIWA~!" (yes. Exactly like that).. It was hilarious.
I know that feel. Never actually peed my pants but I've held in plenty because I didn't want to go to the bathroom while a movie was running, but once those credits started rolling all bets were off.
But NOW they have two sets of credits with an added scene between them which makes me![]()

You're right! It was Aladdin!
The Lion King was also the second film I saw in theaters, the first being unfortunately being Bambi. Odd thing is I am trying to find the year I saw Bambi in theaters. I could've sworn it was 1993, but wiki says it was re-released in 1988...hmmm.
