TLK *Sigh* -tings

[nafklt]

Where have you seen any TLK related material lately? :P

I was watching Tactical to Practical the other day (or as you can also say, 3 weeks ago) and they suddenly started talking about TLKoB. They said that "Disney's TLK applies modern camoflage to the actors so they can blend in just enough that you could still see the actors..." :P

[nathalie]

I haven't seen any TLK stuff lately over here (been like that for a couple of years accually), apart from that cake, but that was 4 months ago.

[HasiraKali]

*thinks* Not really a sighting but the lighting designer for Little Shop of Horrors is the same one from TLKoB. I saw that in my Playbill at the show and sqeaked. =D

[Tabansi]

I watched an episode of Home improvement on a Haloween episode. Guess who came to the door?

A kid in a cub simba suit - Voice Jonathan Taylor thomas was Simba ( Who opened the door to the trick-or-treators in that episode )

And another kid in a buzz lightyear costum - Voice Tim Allen was Buzz Lightyear (He is also apart of Home Improvement show)

[jannali]

i believe JTT has a simba plushie in a few episodes aswell

[nafklt]

I saw Jonathan in this movie called "Bringing Down The House" once, and he was reading a TLK book under a tree when his dad and other fellow native tribe members were doing the raindance...:hmm:

Are you sure you're not talking about "Man of the House"?

All I see TLK related are posters in people's houses on Cops and mentions of TLKoB in shows. But in this one documentary on PBS about a girls college basketball team, the coach nicknamed one of the players "Simba" because she had to realise that she can't let her past control her, that she has to face her future and go on with her life.:cheese:

[Ragoom]

I saw some TLK jeppybeans in like a tube...at the lcoal shop:p i was so close to gettin them SO CLOSE!!

[nathalie]

Yeah, I saw that too on Home Improvement. And noticed it also in Man of the house. Saw that movie so many times ... .

[TakaTiger]

i see stuff about it all the time on MadTV :)

[Azerane]

The only place I really see tlk around the place is a bit of merchandise here and there.

[Darkslash]

There's a girl in my spanish class who has a couple of Lion King patches -- patches, mind you, I've never seen them before -- safety-pinned to her purse. One is a pink background with Nala on it I think, and the other has an orange background with Hakuna Matata, Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa on it. I need to ask her about those someday.

[nafklt]

There's this girl in my Englash class that I found out, likes TLK...:P I need to spread the word of Lea someday...:P

[nathalie]

Back in 1994 - 1995, you saw heaps and heaps of stuff. Now with the new release from 2003, we only saw some colouring books.

[Shadow]

non off you shuldent compline there arnt a single TLK thing here NOT A SINGE ONE........the only way i can have TLK is buying on the net :alone:

[Kovu]

Nothing much of TLK here.
TLK is rare here. :confused:

[nathalie]

Here everything from Disney is rare. The only thing you can find here is from the Princess series. Or Barbie dolls.

[Ngatuny]

I just found some TLK PEZ!

[HasiraKali]

I wish there were people in my classes that like it. I'm all alone. :(

Oh! Remember the TLK chocolate bars? I still have one >.> <.<

[unregistered user]

TLK lives in Flash man. Check this out from Mortisland: http://www.mortisland.com/AYB.htm

It's got Pride Rock and the ending music in it! WEEEE!

[Lion King Stu]

i think its fair to say that LK if kinda rare to find in shops and stuff now but u check ebay you will generaly find some stuff....i did i got all my plushies and stuff of there

btw nice linkage TZ that was kool ;)

[TakaTiger]

there is a girl at my skool who is a tlk fan, and i should intro her to lea, but i never see her in the halls nemore :o

[LunarCat]

TLK stuff is rare in the Disney Store and at the parks, but at WDW there is a whole set of TLK plushes that include Scar, Sarabi, and Mufasa, of course it has the other major characters but i thought those three were the most rare. :p

eBay is always good, ;) you can get everything from TLK radko ornaments to TLK shower curtains....;)

Yeah Disney World (Animal Kingdom) has a lot of stuff. I got the Sarabi, Scar, and Mufasa when I went this summer. I had everything else. :evilgrin: Oh and I got a new pen. But that's not really new. *might be going again for Christmas :D*

[nathalie]

In Disneyland Paris, you also got loads and loads of Lion King stuff !

[Zala]

I agree with Kovu, TLK is so rare here `_~

[King Simba]

It's kinda rare here too. I don't see much merchandise in the shops here.
Btw today in our physics lesson these lads asked the teacher if he's seen TLK. Then they asked him if he knew the song 'the lion sleeps tonight.' They then started to sing it. :lol:

It's the same lads who sang Hakuna Matata in one of our science lessons. =)

During the re-intro of TLK SE, I saw this Simba plushie at the Disney Store, but I didn't buy it... >.> *knocks self in head* I have some T&P Bugs Gummies...I don't wanna eat it...>.>

[jannali]

a kid in my jazz band was wearing a simba "i just cant wait to be king" t shirt. i went up to him and was like "omg you have the best shirt ever" and left lol
i got a tlk sticker book today too! my mom saw it at micheals and bought it for me ^^

Since there seems to be TONS of TLK Sighting pages, I finally decided to make a pawprinted thread to lis tthem all so they don't spread like a really bad epidemic =P

So, post away.

[Shatara]

How many times has this been tried? Hopefully being stickied, this will actually succeed...

[unregistered user]

Well, if there are any more made I'll close 'em =P

So they'd better post 'em here xP

[Aurelian]

Question: What happened to the sighting thread theat Kiara made? It was actually working out. Did you delete it, Rav?

[unregistered user]

should merge all topic:D

[Simba '04]

I saw a Simba plushie in the back of a car I was working on today at work :cheese:

[King Simba]

Someone parked up in the school car park once had a little plushie Simba on the dashboard close to the steering wheel. ;)

[unregistered user]

Yes I did Roq, I think I got all of the threads, but I'm not sure oO If there are any others I shall find them Oo *is on le mission*

[nafklt]

This girl in my science class had a Kiara binder with number 28 or something...:hmm:

[Sombolia]

I dunno if this could be called an actual "referance", since it's a wide concept.. but the other day on AotS (http://www.attackoftheshow.com), they were talking about.. something, it slips my mind. Anyways, as they introduce the stuff, they have some snark title for it appear onscreen. And one of the titles was "The Circle of Life". And I was like woah cause TLK and AotS are two of my favorite things.

Yeaaahhh... :eek:

[lion_roog]

I don't know if this counts as a sighting...but when I'm at the zoo...people call the lion and lioness Simba and Nala....and sometimes Simba and Mufasa...kinky....:D

[Fear The Paw]

[LunarCat]

yeah, and the warthogs-Pumbaa :D :cheese:

[nathalie]

-- moved -- to Everything the light touches, since this is TLK related :)

[Alli]

Recently i saw George of the Jungle (It was on tV) And at the end they showed george holding up his son like Rafiki did for simba on pride rock...

[Sudi]

The only sighting I can think on right now was when I was readin The Da Vinci Code and it mentioned TLK some were in there

[Kiara Serengeti]

In the magazine published by 'The American Quarter Horse Association', it mentioned some horses that had been registered. One of the horses' names was: Hakuna Matata. :hakuna:

[simba2662]

There is a reference in American Pie 2. Jim's dad says to Nadia - make sure you go and see The Lion King. Thats when shes in New York.

[Melody of Scar]

I'm watching Maximum Exposure, and they just showed a home video of a British couple's honeymoon of a buffalo being attacked by 7 lions.

"He wandered away from the pride when Simba and co. jumped him..."

And after two dozen buffalo chase the lions off...

"Oh well, hakuna matata!" And they made a crack about the Circle of Life, but I forgot what it was.

[Sombolia]

"Can you feel the hate tonight?" ~The creepy disembodied voice dude on X-Play

"It's the CIRCLE OF LIFE, MAN!" ~Kevin Pereira on Attack of the Show

:3

[Kiara Serengeti]

In Wal-Mart today they played the Elton John version of CoL (after 1 hr of smooth jazz ----).

Ok, creepy...my family and I ate at a Denny's, and they played the Elton John CoL too! :eek:

[Melody of Scar]

I'm watching Camp Lazlo ( not willingly ) and they just made a crack about "nature's circle of fear." ( Girls are afraid of snakes, snakes are afraid of girls. )

I would guess it's a rip off the circle of life. o-o

[Kago]

Go to Google and type TLK Colouring Pages, I did for my little brother, geez I didn't know how popular TLK Colouring Pages are...

[aj2590]

Keep it clean please? ~Mod staff

Here's another sighting. Look near the very top of this page...a very funny TLK reference...

I saw it too! I think the joke was 'The circle of life sucks when you're a wildebeest' :evilgrin: lol!

I went to the library yesterday, where they have lots of VHS tapes for borrowing. A little girl went up to her Mom and said, "I found ALADDIN and THE LION KING". But her Mom said she could only have one video. And guess which one the little girl chose? TLK!=D

[HasiraKali]

We were watching Love Actually earlier and a double decker bus drove by in one of the scenes and it had a TLK stage logo on it. It goes by really fast though. I have no idea how I saw it. I guess my "Simba-sense" was tingling. :lol:

Your Simba sense? :lol:

I think I love you. XD

[HasiraKali]

Yes my Simba-sense. I seem to know whenever TLK stuff is around. Like today, we went to the outlet mall and I walked in this Christmas store and I "felt" something. Lo and behold I find a TLK game hiding under a Disney Princess one. :lol:

[simba2662]

Listening to the radio in sydney yesterday they had a competition and a question was, "who was the evil uncle in the Lion King" :evilgrin:

[Melody of Scar]

I saw a game of Disney chess with Good v. Evil. Guess who were the rooks? Scar and Simba, of course! :lol:

[Kiara Serengeti]

There was a Disneyland commercial where the sun came up and the 'Nants Ingonyema, bagithi baba' chant was sung; and a family went to Disneyland and held their baby up.

My local grocery store had a deal where you bought food and got a rebate on the TLK SE when it came out. They called it the 'Circle of Savings' :rolleyes: . Way to cheap out the theme of the movie (CoL).

I was in an art class and a girl made a fox, but everyone said it looked like the TLK hyenas!

[Cleto]

Hate to bring home improvement up again, in one episode, don't know what it was called, the boys cousins were staying round and one of the girls was playing with a lion plush and JTT said, 'Being a lion cubs hard, I should know.' or somet along those lines.

((If that's already been mentioned, sorry for repeating it :alone: ))

[lion_roog]

I was watching teh episode of South Park where all the rich dudes move into South Park. The rich kid who was a friend of Kyle, Kenny, Stan, and Cartman brought over the DVD of The Lion King to watch, but they made fun of him because he didn't have a VHS player....:D

[This Land]

A Shop selling clothes where selling big cub simba cuddley toys (plushies) :cheese:

I brought this up because the last time i saw them and any other TLK Plushies selling in a shop was about 4 years ago. :lol:

[HasiraKali]

At work on Saturday night one of the girls was singing Lion Sleeps Tonight and was acting out the scene from the movie with the other girls. She said she had just seen the movie for the first time that afternoon on the way to SA. I was like... "You know that movie is 11 years old right?" And she said "WOW! It's older than me!" Made me feel old. I've known it for half of my life. :lol:

Well, since my grandma kept claiming it was 'evil' :rolleyes: I didn't see it until it aired on ABC last year during the premire of the SE.

[Sudi]

Well In band my friend was playin In The Jungle on his sax last week and he showed me how to play it on my trumpet, then I showed my other friend who plays tumpet how to play it. So when ever we get bored in class we do a little duet thing together :cheese:

[Tategami]

in the same day, i saw a simba plush at the salvation army, and a nala plush on someone's mail box post. i wanted to go rescue her from all the rain we've been having. :horror:

[Roku]

I'm glad they reference TLK!

Hey, where'd you get that picture of Simba? Is that from Kingdom Hearts 2???

[Tategami]

roku: yup, i got the pic on a diffrent forum, but lea has a section about it being in KH 2.

and another TLK sighting i found was a baby simba cub plushie at a flea market, i should go and rescue these poor plushies.

[HasiraKali]

Plushie rescue (tm) is why I am not allowed in GoodWill alone. :lol:

[This Land]

I was just watching tv today and a newspaper called the sunday times is advertising their free cd that comes with their next issue.
The free cd they where advertising is a TLK audio book :cheese:

[DarkPaw]

In this academic enrichment program I'm in, there's a book we're reading called "A Hope In The Unseen." Here's the mentionable quote/sentence:

"...the Ballou chorus as it launches into a soulful rendition of the spiritual "Amazing Grace," changes course midway into the Afrocentrically sensible theme from Disney's Lion King, and finishes raucously on "got no worries, for the rest of your days, it's my trouble free philosophy, Hacuna Matata.":eek:

Yes, I too got grossed out by the Hucuna :eww: typo and the messed-up lyrics. We were annotating our books, but I was being lazy, but as soon as I saw that, there was ink marks everywhere...

Here's another for our favorite older red-maned lion:

"...who speaks with the same practised precison of James Earl Jones..."

That one got lots of inkmarks...

:D

[Storm90]

I was looking through my spanish 2 book and there was this picture of a guy going to the movies and under the picture, it told you how to say how to go to the movies.

The movie that the guy was seeing was "The Lion King".

:D

[Tategami]

remember the nala plushie i said i found on a post?
well i went to rescue her, only to find that she's tied to a cross...
so someone must have been killed and either nala symbolized that the person was a child, or the person loved nala/TLK.

[Aurelian]

Got one!

I am watching a show called "Maximum X", which is a "home video" show where all the videos are extreme and amazing. Today, the theme is "Extreme Animals". They just showed one segment where a wildebeast got seperated from it's herd, and was being attacked by seven lionesses, as a big lion watched on. Suddenly, the herd charged the wlionesses, scaring them away fromt he wildebeast. Amazingly, the wildebeast climbed to it's fet and took off with the herd. The camera then went back to the lion, and the announcer said "Well, this lion just watched his lunch walk away. Oh well, Hakuna Matata! When you are a wildebeast, the Circle of Life sucks!"

[lion_roog]

Have one from Will and Grace...:cheese:

James Earl Jones just got done performing a skit...and Karen is trying to get him to realize that he sucks at acting...

James Earl Jones: But I was Mufasa...
Karen: (laughs)...Mufasa?...Honey...More like Boofasa...

Not exactly a sighting, but it had my laughing my butt off.

I was watching a wrestling program, and they had a guy called "The Boogeyman" cutting a promo(interview). Boogeyman is supposed to be a evil, insane, and super creepy voodoo master. Imagine a black guy with his face painted blood red and moster eye contacts. He has red dye dripping out of his mouth, and is carrying a rubber human heart. In his other hand he is swinging an alarm clock on a chain. He approached a female wrestler called Lita who is a guest on the show. He speaks:

"I am the Boogeyman and I am coming to get you." *Insane laugh* Then he starts singing a very familier tune...

"No one knows the trouble I've scene... Nobody knows my sorrow...

Girls runs away screaming, as the Boogeyman laugh madly, and the screen fades to back.

The sighting is the tune. It was the exact same tune Zazu sings while locked up in the bone cage by Scar. Just wierd to see this monster of a man singing it.

[Tategami]

this has to be the best one. it's in chicken little! im not gonna spoil and say where, but you deffinetly cant miss it.

[zazulover01]

Last year in my history book there was a page saying how movies affect our lives and it mentioned The Lion King. Also in my literature book from 2 years ago there was a picture of a kid in a TLK T-shirt. and it's mentioned in The Da Vinchi Code.

[HasiraKali]

EDIT: My bad. :lol:

[Kopa]

Today in my local newspaper in a section called 'Today in History' it said:
1997 - "Lion King," opens at New Amersterdam Theater NYC
:cheese:

[This Land]

Not sure if this was already metioned, but ive just watched the simpsons and near the end of the episode, Bleeding gums murphy's face came out of the clouds and started to talk, then shortly after mufusa appeared and started to talk, along with darth vader which i found funny because it was in a simpsons episode :lol:

[Azerane]

It may have been already mentioned but it doesn't matter, that's funny when that happens, hehe.

And this thread reminds me, I was in the shops the other week and saw a TLK tin... I have to get it... I gotta do that tomorrow!! :D

[zazulover01]

I found this comic, I think the TLK reference is in the 5th strip.

http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp2.cgi?8

[Azerane]

hehe, those foxes and bunnies are really cute. That's kinda cool with the lion king reference and all.

[Ralli]

Holy-! I haven't seen that comic in ages! I used to love it. *tries to catch up*

[HasiraKali]

Same here. I haven't read Faux Pas in ages. :)

[zazulover01]

I just discovered it and now I'm on week 95.

[lion_roog]

South Park...in the episode where the kids make a Christmas Card or something. They parody the song "Circle of Life" with Mr. Hankey or something, but instead it's the "circle of Poo" and they even do that sudden black screen thing at the end...:D

[This Land]

Wooooo
A shop selling stationary and student stuff was playing Hakuna Matata :lol:

[lion_roog]

Law & Order: SVU

They mentioned the Lion King when talking about a group of suspects who deal in making counterfeit products.

[Jini]

In October, the Friday before Halloween, the Kindergarden(sp?) were dressed up in their Halloween costumes parading around the school. I spotted one girl dressed up as Raven from Teen Titans, and she was holding a Nala plushie.

[Adrenaline]

Uh, it was kind of recently, well, not really, but I was watching Super Nanny once and at this house these kids had an Interactive Simba. I was jealous because I hadn't had one at the time. :p

[Simbaspirit]

whats an interactive Simba??:confused:

[Adrenaline]

The one that you press it's ears and it sings and talks. :p

[Euan Buchan]

There's a episode when The Simpsons go to Africa and they watch animals walk behind a sunset in a red sky like the begining of the film also when they are on a jeep if you look very closely you can see Pride Rock in the background

Hmm...I'm not sure about the Pride Rock sighting...but I'll have to look more closely. :cheese:

On one of those "Nanny shows"--it was either "Supernanny" or "Nanny 9-1-1", a dad asked his kids if they wanted to see LION KING or some other video. Correction: I originally said I thought the other video was 'Toy Story' but it is pointed out later in the thread that it was 'Snow White' but I'm not sure. But they didn't pick TLK!!!!!:gasp::jejeje:

Ooh, I remember that, it was Super Nanny! I was like, "these kids really DO need help!"

I think they chose Snow White or something stupid.

In my advanced Biology class, we are learning about the digestive system. I was looking for information for my project when I stumbled upon this....
http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/basics/anatomy.html

I think you'll recognize someone very familiar in the picture. I guess that's one way to get a student's attention, hmm? :cheese:

And then for fun, I was reading Kevin and Kell, a comic I am a fan of. And behold, another TLK reference....(look in the second picture on the third line!)

http://kevinandkell.com/2001/kk0318.html

Any TLK fan will take humor in that one!

And I thought the days of TLK references was over! I guess you can find it if you look hard enough!

When i was in Hospital Today...

To get to Medication center within the hospital, we went down this corridor near the Childrens Ward and on the walls of the corridor where about 7 painted pictures of all TLK characters, which made me smile.

This is the real "Circle of Life."

I saw a preview of Chicken Little yesterday and at the begining they were going though how to start the film eg the "Once A Opon A Time" the book opening etc and they even showed the Start of The Lion King ewith the sun rising. Just thaught I'd let you know so you can see it.

[Roku]

I was watching the Weather Channel regarding the blizzard in New York area, and they had a closeup of two broadway musical buildings: Beauty and the Beast and, yes, of course, THE LION KING!!!!
:cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
Man. When your on the Weather Channel, your famois!!! Go Mufasa and Simba! :bleen: :confused:

[Tategami]

i've been catching small things like books and a pencil topper. nothing really to big, but at least it's still getting reconition.

[Aurelian]

This one was inovative!

Tom and Jerry was on TV, they had a segment featureing the characters "Dropy & Dripple.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2148/droopydripple7hx.jpg

Droopy and his son were in a western cowboy town, and were racing against a "big bad wolf" style character over a girl, as is traditional in a Droopy cartoon. It was a horseback race through the desert. The whoile way, the wolf tried to stop them traps, ala Wile E. Cyote. The last trap had the wolf getting one of his freinds to stand on the top of the gorge the race went though, among a herd of steers. The wolf himself would go through the gorge, and wait for Droopy and Dripple to enter, then signal the freind who would scare the steer into stamping into the gorge. When I saw that, I yelled, "That stupid wolf is getting ideas from Scar!!!"

[HasiraKali]

:lol: That's awesome.

I was watching House, MD last week, and House was talking about something and how it was just "part of that circle of life thing". It's funnier to me because Hugh Laurie (House) is good friends/costars with Rowan Atkinson. :)

[Bahati]

This one's a TLK sighting from Disney. Not 15 minutes ago, a commercial promoting Walt Disney World aired on ABC Family. I might not have noticed it, but strangely familiar music caught my attention. As I have a DVR player, I rewound the commercial and played through it a few times to make sure I wasn't imagining things.

Sure enough, I was hearing music from TLK.

What's especially interesting is that I didn't notice any TLK-related things in the commercial, yet here was the music.

I've uploaded a sound recording of the commercial to Putfile. You may listen to it at http://media.putfile.com/Walt-Disney-World-Commercial-Audio

[HasiraKali]

I've seen that commercial. I wasn't sure at first, but then they showed a few clips from FoTLK at the very end. And the kids are watching the stars. :lol: It's a good one. :)

[Aurelian]

Speaking of amusment parks, I just saw a commersial for Bush Gardens Africa, in Tampa Bay. They had some images of African animals(zebra, wildebeast, giraffe), then they showed a scene from TLKoB. It showed the Nala character singing somthing with her arms out stretched.

[HasiraKali]

That's strange that they'd do that since Busch and Disney are fierce competitors. :hmm: We can't even say the fish are like Nemo or Dory. We have to say what kind of fish they are. :lol:

[Cobalt]

This one sounds like it goes in here:

In case anyone dosen't know, I work in the Detroit area as a Paramedic(Ambulance work)

A new in patient short term psyciatric center opened up, and I was supposed to transfer a patient there. As we pull in the drive way and I get out I do a double take. There is a large lighted sign for the center by the drive way claiming the place is called "Circle of Life"

Just thought that was a bit coincidental.

(Very nice place it is, btw)

[This Land]

Today in a Shopping centre :D

Little market stall advertsing love songs for Mothers Day, and guess what was playing ^^, CYFTLT :D, it was a Guitar/harp instrumental version.

[Kiara Serengeti]

In my local hospital, a soft instrumental version of CYFtLT was playing. :)

[lion_roog]

From 3rd Rock From The Sun:

-Officer Don: Hamlet? The story is as old as time: Pretty boy son has a rich daddy, and a good-looking mommy. The uncle knocks off daddy, marries mommy, and he cuts pretty boy out of the action. So junior goes crazy and he kills them all. Not a pretty story... but there it is.

-Tommy Solomon: Isn't that the plot to 'The Lion King?'

:D

Found a "Kind of" sighting, it was mainly a TLK cast sighting. Simpsons episode and Lisa's friend's father mentions Jeramy irons :D

I saw (ok, heard) that too.

[HasiraKali]

My sister and I saw "The Wild" today. VERY blatant TLK sighting in there. There's a part where the animals are running down a street in NY and they show a sign for TLKoB. Several times. I don't know though. Quite a bit of the scenes looked like a nod to TLK in a way. :hmm:

Edit: My sister is watching "Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels" on FoodNetwork, and she called me but when I got there it was gone. Apparently, there were some drinks or something at a restaurant called "Paradox Lodge" called a Simba and a Nala. :lol: I'm sad I missed it. :(

[Kiara Serengeti]

There was an SP Vhs in one of my dreams... :p

[HasiraKali]

There was juuuuuuust a clue on Jeopardy. :lol: I didn't hear the whole answer but I head Trebek say "Timon" and then "meerkat" and I turned around in time to hear one of the contestants say "Who is Pumbaa?" The category was "Side Kicks" I wish I had seen the whole thing. That's two in a row that I've missed. :lol:

A while back I was watching some old tapes we recorded at home, and the cast of Boy Meets World came on to introduce the new ABC Saturday morning line-up...

Shawn: Cartoons! I don't do cartoons!
Cory: So I guess you didn't see the biggest hit of the summer?
Shawn: Which one?
Cory: You know... that lion thing?
Shawn: Yeah, I loved it.
Cory: Cartoons!
Shawn: You mean... they weren't real lions?
Cory: Do real lions sing?
Shawn: I don't know, I've never been to the jungle!
Cory: Do they sing at the zoo?
Shawn: They're self-conscious at the zoo! Everybody's staring at 'em! At night they sing.
Cory: How do you know?
Shawn: It says so in that song, "The Lion Sings Tonight."
Cory: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"!
Shawn: Sure, 'cuz he's tired from singing!

Meh, I guess you just had to be there. ;)

I don't think it's in here yet, but I saw a new episode of "Joey" last week (seizon 2), and he said something along these lines:

We eat the cows, cows eat the grass, we mow the grass ... It's the circle of life.

[Kiara Serengeti]

I was watching a prestigious horse show today, called the Rolex 3 day event. One of the horses was named Lion King II, ridden by a Jonathan Holling. I seriously doubt it had anything to do with SP, a lot of horses are just named after other horses. Like there was a horse named Windfall II, after a horse, Windfall (I) :D So I think the horse's mother or father, or some other significant horse, was named Lion King. Wether or not it has anything to do with the movie or is just a creative name I dunno, but I thought I'd point it out :)

Watching, The Paul O gradey yesterday. And the Guest yesterday was Elton John :D

They all had a talk and stuff, and elton threw in a few jokes and stuff, was really cool. And he Mentioned Stuff about the Muscial of The lion king :D

just flicking channels and there was a film half way through playing and was about a african asylum seeker and he was scared and worried, and this girl knowning that he is one, goes up to him and starts saying repeatidly "Hakuna Matata".

Other man, coulkd be the girls father i dont know, asks the girl what does it mean, she says "No Worries" he says "how do you know and she says "Its from the Cartoon film Lion king".

this happened last night and i was very tired , so if sombosy else seen it. Im sorry for my poor accuracy. I was tired and hardly knew what was what in the film.

ooh cool my cousin Victoria played in that one "The little shope of Horrors." it was really funy i believe she was one of the singers in it :D

[SimbaKovufan]

LAst time I saw anything even remotely relating to TLK was when TLK 1 1/2 came out.....to be refectly honest, I thought it was kind of cheesy for being connected to such a great film, and Ireally think that the directos could've tried to be a bit more serious in heir handling of the flashbacks of some of the most memorable scenes in that movie....it would've added a whole new light to Timon and Puumba's character, instead of showing them as corny morons who fail to really notice what's going on. But maybe they meant to do that.....which saddens me, seeing where the industry has gone in the past few years, and what directors have to resort to to get some more viewers. Still, granted, it was funny at certain moments, but only barely.

[Zephyr Nexus]

People are right; you don't see TLK out there much anymore, but recently I did notice a Rafiki plushie sticking out of a (girl) friend's purse. (I asked her about it; she actually said it was one of her teacher's).

:confused:

Also, we watched TLK in my Spanish IV class (en espa?ol) as a break from working back near Christmas.

:kovusmile

(I realized that this could also be posted in the "TLK in school" thread.)

[This Land]

Woot, me has a BIG sighting

me and my girlfriend was doing some babysiting and we had to watch childerens channels. Inclusing disney playhouse.

And the presenter was signing and dancing to JCWTBK with some kids, pretty cool :D

Anybody else catch the "Circle of Life" reference from Pixar's Cars? The rusted cars are joking about it toward the end of the film when the final race occurs.

[HasiraKali]

I didn't catch that. I just got back from seeing it again too but I didn't hear that. :lol: I was just excited about seeing the Pizza Planet delivery truck. :lol:

[Sombolia]

I just got back from Disneyland.. there was a marching band outside the castle, playing what I think was a heavily remixed version of "Be Prepared".

[Lion_King_300]

I got out of my 12:30 class a couple weeks ago at the University of Washington, and I walk towards Red Square (kind of this brick-floored big open space in the middle of campus surrounded by libraries and lecture halls) on my way to the bus stop, and I start to hear what i think is TLK music... sure enough there were a group of young dancers and they were performing to "Hakuna Matata" blaring through two HUGE speakers, they looked to be probably 5th or 6th graders. It was quite cute and there were a lot of people watching!

Haha that was amusing.

[Bahati]

In the CSI episode "Justice Is Served" (2001), the dog of one of the suspects is named Simba.

[MehndiX]

On Absolutely Fabulous one of the characters was here and there referencing the film. She did part of the begining of Circle of Life and later Hakuna Matata to some Simba plushes:

"(singing as the plushes) Hakuna Matata"
"(speaking as herself) Hakuna Matata? Speak English! Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Rice"

And a little later Elton John was in it, so I guess that's why she was doing it.

[Shatara]

The other day when driving to Raleigh, we passed a truck that I swear had the ol' insignia (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Darkslash/Tale%20Spin%20Crossover%20RP/pridelandsflag.jpg) on the door. Did a double-take, but didnt get a good look.

My sister bought some TLK diapers for my nephew a couple a days ago, i guess that counts as a sighting.

Very, very obvious TLK sighting in the latest Simpson's episode. (Methinks the producers have a fascination with the film\play, eh? :D )

Anyway, the Simpsons are at the Springfield theater district and go to see an 'Itchy & Scratchy' musical that's blatantly like TLKoB. It opens with a mockup of 'nants ingonyema' and has the sun and has a cat standing on a version of Pride Rock holding up Scratchy. They have all the people in animal costumes chanting like in TLKoB and they even had people holding cat puppets and making them move like the do the gazelle puppets in TLKoB. They animated bits of the I&C musical, most of the songs\animation mimicking TLKoB. The theme song is The Circle of Knife :p And they showed the playbill, and the logo for the I&C musical was a knockoff of the TLKoB lion shilhouette.

During the episode Rise of the Cybermen, (Dr. Who) the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is played to drown out human screams.

n the episode The Christmas Invasion, the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) references the song Circle of Life. Julie Gardner, the executive producer for Doctor Who, mentions in the audio commentary for this episode that the "Lion King speech" is one of her favourite parts of the episode.

Sooooo many topics have been made about that, you're not the first, and by gum you won't be the last. It does NOT say "SEX" as some retards think it does, it says "SFX" and was put there by the Special Effects team who were working on TLK.

Recently a quote from the lion king in Scrubs made me smile....then laugh. You know Scrubs its a tv show about some newbie doctors, well i find it funny anyway.

It went something like:

JD: Well in this hospital i hav noticed that when one life ends another begins (dramatic pause)....I like to call it the great circle of life.

(At this point I was smiling thinking hey thats off TLK!)

Dr Cox: Oh my God newbie, you really must stop watching the lion king.

JD: Yer well I've always liked that cute little lion, you know the one??

Dr Cox: er...Simba?

JD: HaHaHaHa, trick question you like it too! (Giggles)

I saw the coolest TLK plushies in a claw machine yesterday. I wanted to get them but they were really burried and I'm really bad at those games. :( They had, Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu. They were pretty big too.

[Lion_King_300]

Yep, those plushes made an appearance at the claw game where I work too ;)

I don't know how many dollars it took (probably at least $15, maybe $20) but I managed to get all of them!

Pumbaa was the hardest, he was laying sideways next to some other plushes and it took me exactly NINE dollars (18 tries) to get him out! I'm not very good at those games either but I'll do anything to collect more TLK stuff!

Seriously though I want those plushies. I even had a dream about them that night. I wonder if they'll pop up on eBay. :hmm:

Uh, they played CoL in the cinema yesterday whilst waiting for POTC2 to start. Since it's a Disney movie they probably decided to have a Disney jukebox :E

Saw TLK at the hotel I was staying in, interesting version of it too. Lets see.. it was mainly the English Broadway/West End version of it but also had different languages in there too. Loads of songs plus quite a few instrumentals too!

Circle of Life - German
I Just Can't Wait To Be King - English
To Die For (in this we had Scar fighting Mufasa for some reason.. is this what happens in the Broadyway version??)
Rafiki Mourns
The Madness of King Scar - English thankfully!

Can You Feel The Love Tonight - German I think..
King Of Pride Rock (ending singing in German)

Get him a new box of tissues? :lol: That Hakuna Matata storyline has been going for almost a week. You can read them all Here (http://www.comics.com/comics/jumpstart/archive/jumpstart-20060822.html)

[lion_roog]

:haha:...I will have to see tomorrows comic strip...:D

[HasiraKali]

Wow a deadish thread. Anyway... Max Casella (original Broadway Timon) is on Law and Order: CI that just started. No idea what his character is. I hope he's a bad guy. :evil:

[Euan Buchan]

Last night I watched this comedy programme called "Something About Parenting" & a teacher was ill & the headteacher was on the phone looking for a supply teacher but she couldn't find one she said "I'll have to get the children to watch a video yes it's going to be The Lion King again whenever they like it or not" but they found a supply teacher after she said that

[Jackandsimba]

I bought my nephew a Vtech smile center thing (u no, one of those learning things you plug into a TV) and I was looking at the cartridges you could get, and alas, a LK one caught my eye. Had to get him it!

[HasiraKali]

We're watching Reba on Lifetime. Her ex-husband bought a house where someone died and Reba's trying to convince his wife that it's haunted. They were talking about it and Reba's son in law said "I don't believe in ghosts. I beleive in the circle of life. Hakuna katatata!" :lol:

[Kapasa]

But what about Mufasa's ghost? and the circle of life that means Mufasa is immortal...that cant be....[head explodes]

[*sue*]

jackandsimba i know what you mean about that vtech thing, i was in the disney store and it was on the simba one and i was there for ages playing on it :) lol

[HasiraKali]

Playing with the vtechs is fun. :D

Oh at work today, I was putting together a packet for one of our troops and their leader lives on "Lea Lane" :lol: I smiled.

[This Land]

At work today and a Icecream van stopped outside the shop, and guess what.... Morning report scene was painted on the van :D

Edit:

Oh and yesterday i manged to find 50 TLK Songs and soundtracks on a Jukebox in a Pub i went into :D

[Shatara]

Season Premeire of Dr Who just now, dropped a flagrant reference.

When addressing some weird aliens about Humanity, The Doctor started quoting the openning lines of CoL, stopping himself with "No wait, that's The Lion King..."

:lol:


Edit: And minuites later, randomly drops an Arthur Dent ref x)

[Ciara]

I heard CoL on the radio some day ago, then not the one from the movie but the other one you got on the TLK SE DVD cd. Down here they seem to play a lot of TLK music, when I was with the kid on kindy some weeks ago they played CYFtLT on the lunch hour. But that's all for nowadays ...

So the troop based on Lea Lane sent in their roster today and one of the girls... is named... Nathalie. :lol: I about died laughing.

[Ciara]

Playing with the vtechs is fun. True ... :lol: I got some vtechs things, like books and games ... :D I need a vtech DVD player tho, or two, I don't think they both go into same thing... So I just got the games lying around, and the book is useful around this place xD

AHHHHHH *jumps out of random window*

[Kiara Serengeti]

On a Travel Channel show called World's Most Unique McDonald's it showed the flashy, funky Times Square one and did a wide angle shot. In doing so, they got a REALLY beautiful shot of the TLKoB marquee and banner. I wanted to go to TLKoB so bad all over again.

Tonight, Dateline did a show about laziness and di a segment on SLOTH to see if sloths really are lazy enough to get confused with the term for laziness, or something. Anyway, it showed a clip from Ice Age and the lady who works with John Stossel (name?) said, "Sid did for sloths what Pumbaa did for warthogs in The Lion King--put them on kid's radar screens"
:D

[Sudi]

I was watching CSI Las Vegas today and it had to do with some furry dude getting killed, kinda reminded me of TLK.

If it is the one with the furs convention, and Rocky the raccoon, and the creepy fluffy blue-costumed man with a bikini over his costume, I know that one. *shudders*

HUGE TLK sighting in the latest episode ("Grief Counseling") of the American version of the Brit sitcom, The Office . A worker at the company dies, and the boss at the Scranton branch (where the show is centered), Michael, has everyone tell about deaths they've experienced and one of the characters (forgot who), says: "My family and I went on an African safari with my cousin Mufasa. He got trampled by a herd of wildebeest. We took it pretty hard--the audience, I mean". :D :cheese: when I heard that, I busted a gut...

[Azerane]

I was in the store yesterday, and they had a few of these little tv, dvd combo things that were part of a main display and as I was walking behind them I heard "perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me" so I walked around the front of them and of course, they were playing TLK :D

Then I was sitting next to this girl on the bus on the way home from work yesterday and she was reading a book, the chapter title of which was Amaryllis :cheese:

[Kapasa]

This ninja says it all...be patient TLK part is at the end of this ninja clip, he also says lion king half way through.
How to kill a Ninja (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IR68W56DCBU&mode=related&search=)...the circle of death.

(put the goats in the blender, and remeber to paint all the pigeons thoughly!)

[HasiraKali]

TLK is supposed to be mentioned The Rich List tonight on FOX in the US. Not sure when or how. But it's on right now if you want to watch for it.

Edit: Ok so basically, the contestants had to name the Top 50 Broadway Shows of All Time and they said TLK. I think I could have named most of if not all 50. :lol:

Edit the Second: They said it again. The last Rich List they had to name Disney Animated movies and it was the first they said. I wish I could have been on that show. I'd have won 10 million with that list. Not fair! :(

[Kiara Serengeti]

There's a few ref's to SP on this baby-name site for the name Kiara (along with Irish vs. African orgin arguments :bleen:)
http://ww5.americanbaby.com/babynames/babyName.jhtml?babyNameId=15753&commentsMode=true&currentPage=1

I also found THIS on Wikipedia about the old Catholic hymn, the beautiful but frightening 'Dies Irae'. I don't know the validity of this--especially since this is WIKIPEDIA, but I thought I'd share.

In Disney's animated musical The Lion King, Dies Irae can be heard orchestrated into the soundtrack or in the movie when it shows the 'Shadow Lands.'

[HasiraKali]

I was just browsing around on InternetBumperStickers.com and ran across this. It might be offensive to some, so be warned. :lol: It's really not that bad.
A question (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/InternetBumberStickersDOTcom/wanna_hakuna.gif)

[Ciara]

is it too late to bring up this thread more? I hope not :D cuz the world is still full of new TLK things!:

I saw this thing on the door when we walked into some thai restaurant :gasp: I was like, what the heck is a TP pic doing there (it says "Welcome *pic* BK South") and when we sat down, no one came with the menu or even talked with us, so after 30 minutes of just sitting there, we went to another restaurante ... It was lots of peeps, but SOMEONE must have been able to give us the menu sometime xD (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a109/KiaraZ/Lea%20Stoof/PC090089.jpg)

i know someone who has that pillow ^^ wanted it to be sent over here but .. no .. <.<

[HasiraKali]

Does it count as a sighting if it's not a visual? :hmm: Anyway, in Kronk's New Groove, they use a bit of TLK music during one of the scenes. The end titles said it was This Land, but it sounded more like King of PrideRock to me. :p

[This Land]

They where seeling them in The ?1 discount store in my town :D. also had timon & pumbaa, Mufasa and simba & Nala.

When Daniel came over to see me he bought the whole lot :lol:

[Kiara Serengeti]

My counselor\therapist just put a giant Simba in her office for the kids =D

[Aurelian]

I saw Disney's new film, The Wild, the other day, and there is a massive siting.

In the "In the City" scene, many ads can be seen on posters and billboards, including ABC (television), Kodac, Toys R' Us, McDonald's, Best Buy, and Radio Disney. However, the most prominently displayed background feature is Times Square's play theater.. So what's playing? What else, but "The Lion King on Broadway"! The giant ad display above the entrance, featuring the Simba head TLKoB logo, is stillshot in the center of the screen for several seconds, just before Sampson and the gang flee from the evil poddle and her Rottie henchmen. The is likely a shout-out from Disney animation to their cousins on stage.

[DarkPaw]

I went along to the doctor's office for my brothers' checkup, and while my mom was signing out, I could have sworn I heard the little panpipe diddy when Simba is racing down to go get Nala. I thought I was just crazy and it was in my head (it happens...sometimes), but my mom heard it too.

I took my brothers out and sure enough, we heard 'Hmm, what do you think, Sarabi?" Ecstatic, my older brother and I started doing the lines together, and all of the little kids (and the parents) started staring at us as we recited them perfectly! That was great-thirteen years later and STILL going strong!

[Ciara]

while being in munich i saw the german version of IDOL yesterday night, and a guy there sang the original Circle of Life song ... I got a pic when he say LIFE XD (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a109/KiaraZ/P2080309.jpg)

[HasiraKali]

Apparently, on Tiger Tails Radio today they played a clip of a horrible CoL cover by G4. One of my friends (who I fear I may now hate :lol:) sent me the link. The hosts sang it too, but at least they admitted that it wasn't good... G4 on the other hand makes money by murdering it. :lol:

[Kiara Serengeti]

I was playing a game called Catch Phrase w\ my family, it's a computer guessing game you pass around. One of the phrases was 'Lion King' and my sister was on my team. I had to get her to guess, so I said "It's one of my favorite movies, about a feline who rules" *blank look from sister*. "...In Africa..." "Oh...uh, The Lion King!" days my sister :bleen:

Actually TLK is THE favorite movie for me, but I didn't have time to be precise.

[HasiraKali]

Got a few new ones for y'all. :lol:

On "The Insider" (a cheesy tabloid show in the US) today, they had a segment on Anna Nicole Smith's funeral. They also had a bunch of segments about celebrities having/adopting babies. Well at the end of the show one of the hosts was summing it up something like (I'm paraphrasing) "We've had lots of news today, a funeral, and babies. It's the whole circle of life."

This one's not specifically TLK but it struck me as amusing. Last night I was watching Dracula with Gary Oldman and there's one part where Mina and Vlad are walking down a street in London. Of to the side there's a dude wearing a sandwich board. 1) It was an advert for the Lyceum theater (the theater in London where TLK is performed) 2) The play was Hamlet (a play that many say TLK is based - very loosely- on). I'd noticed the Lyceum bit before but not the Hamlet part. Amusing.

[Kiara Serengeti]

They just installed a Pumbaa ride-on (stick in 50c) at our local Neighbhor Market Walmart =D , which is a grocery store, owned by Walmart. :p I squeaked. My dad thought I was wacko. He was like...it's the warthog from TLK...soo...

IT'S A FREAKIN PUMBAA RIDEON!!!!!

[Marikunin]

.........a Pumbaa ride-on?
...............cool.
I saw a TLK karaoke CD in Toys R Us a few weeks ago...:)

[This Land]

get a piccie of it :D


Few days ago, my nan told me when she was on her computer course. She had to do a exercise where she got a email with a few questions in it from a friend in the classroom.
(all the questions where set out by the teacher).
She had to Go On the internet to find the answers to the questions and email the answers back. ( Yes, this computer course is very easy. But was free for non- computer literate people)

anyway, the questions all had a certain subject or theme. The questions my nan had to find the answers to where all to do with the Lion King =D. So there she was, looking up answers from loads of lion king websites. ^^

[Safila]

I found a tin that has picutres on it from TLK and that has a wind up key on it and it plays Circle of Life, filled it with easter eggs and sent it to This Land. *_*

[Kiara Serengeti]

Safila--should've sent it to me. *pouts*

On Jeopardy! today, in the category ROCKS, one of the "Clue Crew" members was standing on the Pride Rock prop from TLKoB and gave the clue: if you know the term for a group of lions, you'll know the name for this monument from The Lion King on Broadway."

And it was guessed right the first time...not surprisingly.
