I was 9 when The Lion King was first released in 1994. I remember watching it over and over again with my baby cousin and as soon as I hear words Hakuna Matata my head is taken back to good old Timon and Pumba and the original Lion King.
Now that The Lion King 2- Simba's Pride and The Lion King 3 are being released on DVD and Blu-Ray and they are getting on my kids radars I am taken back to Hakuna Matata and the glory of The Lion King all over again.
And not to forget Sir Elton Johns music magic
Now I really don't think anything can top the first Lion King for me, but 2 and 3 come pretty close.
Complete Simba’s journey with The Lion King 2, a film for the entire family. Experience the power of “Upendi”—which means “love” – as Kiara, Simba’s strong-willed daughter, seeks adventure away from her father’s watchful gaze. Timon and Pumbaa can do only so much to protect her, especially when she encounters an intriguing rival, Kovu, a cub who is being groomed to lead Scar’s pride. As Kiara and Kovu search for their proper places in the great “Circle Of Life,” they discover that it may be their destiny to reunite their prides and bring peace to the Pride Lands.
The Lion King 3 will take you waaay back to the beginning, before Simba’s story began. From their uniquely hysterical perspective, Timon and his windy pal Pumbaa—the greatest unsung heroes of the savanna—reveal where they came from, how they helped Simba save the Serengeti and what really happened behind the scenes of The Lion King’s biggest events.

I was ten when it first came out, I loved it! I watched it over and over again. I loved dancing and singing to the songs, my favourite has always been, I just can't wait to be king!
ReplyDeleteI was 14 when it was released and went to the movies on a date to see it... I remember crying when Mufasa died and then covering it up by laughing at the guy i was with who was also crying.
ReplyDeleteI saw it at the cinema and I cried when Mufasa died. It is my all-time favourite cartoon. Ever!
ReplyDeleteI was 7 when it first came out, I loved it then and I still love it now. My boys (5 & 3) watched it for the first time on tv the other night and think it is wonderful. They ran around calling each other Timon and Pumba!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember watching the movie at all. My first memory was learning some of the songs in Grade 8 choir.
ReplyDeleteI watched it so long ago. I did not want Mufasa to die. I watched it on TV just the other week actually
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember how old I was but I remember watching it over and over and over. The songs were fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how old I was, but I did watch it when it first came out and was totally mesmerised throughout the whole movie! Now my young kids also enjoy it, and my daughter even sang a repertoire of songs from the movie in her school choir.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen the whole movie!-hopefully this will rectify this!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember seeing it at the cinema, but we did wear out the old video cassette by watching THE LION KING so many times.
