Lion King Sightings!

[HasiraKali]

The Lion King has become a part of culture, let's face it. Because of that, TLK pops up on TV, in movies, books, and various other places. This thread is the place to share those sightings.

[King Simba]

First TLK sighting of this thread! :cheese:

This is what Leor and I spotted today in the 99p store:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/simbaspride/c85435e0-d1e4-423d-91f6-80235503cb4f.jpg

We both agreed that it looks somewhat like it's been inspired from this (http://images.quizfarm.com/1107903551simba.jpg) picture of Simba. At least that's what the pose suggests. :p If it weren't for Leor, I wouldn't have even spotted it. He has a good eye for detail. ;)

[HasiraKali]

That's awesome haha. I love the "GO! GO!"

I found this just now on DailyWhat...

http://i56.tinypic.com/elfn7.jpg

I didn't understand until I realized I'm 27...

[HasiraKali]

I'm double posting. :lol:

They've got Geno Segers (a former TLKoB Mufasa) saying "You're the one true king!" in the promo for the new Pair of Kings (Which he's on also) episode this week. I don't know, it made me laugh.

And also, this is a commercial airing during Dinosaur which features TWO former original TLKoB cast members. :D Sam Wright and Max Casella.

It's a TLKoB smorgasbord!

[HasiraKali]

wtf :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv_44QQMcGo&feature=player_embedded

I like the "long-form version". ;)

[Sombolia]

Oh, Obama :p

Here's what I spotted in the new Cracked Photoshop contest, "If Classic Movies Were Remade by Michael Bay" (http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_192_if-classic-movies-were-remade-by-michael-bay/):

[Wide Eyed Wanderer]

wtf :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv_44QQMcGo&feature=player_embedded

I like the "long-form version". ;)

:lol:

Brilliant!

[Guntur]

Hah, what a step forward on being a humble president. :lol:

Way to go President Obama.

Does this inspired by The Lion King? :lol:

It's from a Masters of the Universe new line, Masters of the Universe Classics.


What am i stuck in the Matrix while my true heart belongs to the Lion Kings?

[Asikinari]

Oookaaay...

[KanuTGL]

wtf :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv_44QQMcGo&feature=player_embedded

I like the "long-form version". ;)
Hahaha, wow, that was fantastic :lol:

I laughed especially hard at how he pointed out to the Fox news table that it was a joke :p

[King Simba]

Obama makes a great comedian. :lol: And yes, I like how he pointed out to Fox news that it was all a joke. It made me laugh too. :p


Oookaaay...

http://cdn-www.i-am-bored.com/media/tigerfamilypreg.png
Now that is just creepy. :cringe: But I've gotta say that the make-up is really well done.

[Asikinari]

What if they were tatoos?

[King Simba]

Now that would be even creepier. :eww: At least make-up/face paint is able to be washed off.

[Wide Eyed Wanderer]

Was looking for a video for one of the other threads and came across MST3K talking about The Lion King!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAAVWrUqjw&feature=related

(Go to 3:06, where they're talking about Best Song)

:D

[HasiraKali]

[Azerane]

Hah! I knew that had to be done! Nice find! :D

[King Simba]

Wow, that's great. :lol: I gotta see that movie sometime. :p Thanks for sharing. ;)

[Weylin]

Nostalgia critic, about 40 seconds into this movie review :p
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/13185-congo

[King Simba]

The nostalgia critic is great. :lol:

I shared these before on the old Lea, but I'll share them here again. ;) These are from a Lion King show I saw at the hotel when I was staying in the Dominican Republic last year:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hApOcwqU0Ow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfAGHpbEwHQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX_sH2TRvoM

Pumbaa looks as though he's about to give birth. :wtf: And Nala is missing from that last clip.

Here's a better clip from the show that I just found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLOc9y4uEJM&feature=related

Just thought I'd share. :p

[Azerane]

:lol: I can't stop laughing at that pumbaa costume, it's so bad, haha. The broadway show is definitely better ;)

[HasiraKali]

It's like... a TLK night for me over here. :lol:

http://i56.tinypic.com/25upmyr.jpg

[Azerane]

:lol: That's crazy but awesome! :D

[Simbaspirit]

^ I was just gonna post that! :p so amazing.. can't even imagine how small the brush would have been. I've also seen some from the same artist with scenes from the night before christmas and Tangled

[Leorgathar]

Whoa, that's so preeeeety :ooo:

[King Simba]

If I ever wore make-up, I would totally wear it like that. :lol: That's quite a work of art. Very pretty. :ooo:

[LunarCat]

wow! that's insane.....i wonder what it looks like with her eyes open :hmm:

[King Simba]

The TLK make-up art was published in The Sun today and seemed to be the main feature. :ooo:

So I just had to scan it and show it here too. ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/simbaspride/makeupthesun.jpg

[KanuTGL]

Haha, you beat me to it, KS :lol: I saw that "article" too. Very nice :p

[Simbaspirit]

wow thats crazy cool! That girl deserves the press- so much talent.

[Azerane]

Got one!!

Big Bang Theory.

Howard to Bernadette: "It's the circle of life sweety. One day our son will marry someone and it will kill you."

:lol:

[Levin]

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the arcade game DDR..but needless to say, I was at the local arcade recently and I found CYFTLT as a step chart!! =o I was so sad because the step chart was a 14! (which if any of you know how ddr works that's like impossible to pass XD) I was excited for the find =P I also found a vid on youtube with it to show you how insane the step chart is lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjsj0Ns5I5w

[Simbaholikov]

Lol, I've seen so many Lion King sightings that I can't even remember them all. :idiot:

I remember a few from the Simpsons though..

2 from the episode when they went to Africa, at one point you can see Pride Rock in the background. ^^ And another where you can see the animals walking in the sunrise/sunset.

http://www.mylionking.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2265 & http://www.mylionking.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2266

And another one from another episode..

Homer: "Armada? What's armada?"
Moe: "Nothing, what's armada with you?"

Lol. ^^

[King Simba]

Oh, I remember that one from that Simpsons episode. :p That's definitely Pride Rock alright. :lol:

[Azerane]

Some cool sightings there :D

I was in Target the other day looking at the books, and there was one that was about a cat and his life indoors. One of those inspirational books, with a picture on every page about this cat's life indoors. There was one page that said how domestic cats (apart from lions and tigers) are the only cats that can hold their tails upright while walking then underneath in parenthesis it said "suck on that, Simba". :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Was watching QVC earlier and they were selling things inspired by the Smithsonian collection. One guy was talking about the historical objects in one of the museums (I forget which one, there's 19 :lol:) and the Broadway Simba mask was in the background.

Edit: I'm listening to The Book of Mormon cast recording and in this song, they're finding out where they're going on their mission. One kid gets Uganda and he's all "What's that?" They tell him "Africa" and he goes, "Oh boy! Like Lion King!"

Edit 2: Another one. The villagers are singing about their saying for when things get bad. One of the missionaries goes "Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?" The saying means something really nasty and blasphemous.

[LunarCat]

Apparently Justin Timberlake was a Simba's Pride fan ;)

[Safila]

No wonder they laughing :lol:

[lionkinglover]

i watched the missing lynx , and they copied off of the circle of life.

[LunarCat]

Saw The Book of Mormon today! As HK has been pointing out....TONS of TLK references!!!! :D :cheese:

[HasiraKali]

I was watching random Mika videos on Youtube last night. Does that sound familiar to anyone else a few seconds in? I did a double take.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GOvMcQa3OkM

[KanuTGL]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUY8PxfM3F4&feature=youtu.be

Nick Pitera does some really awesome stuff, and I thought this was pretty cool :D

[Leorgathar]

Whoa! It's been a while since I last saw something of him, his voice work never ceases to amaze me :D

[HasiraKali]

I'm gonna put this here. A hyena which helped in TLK's production passed away last night. http://fox40.com/2012/11/13/sac-zoo-hyena-used-as-model-in-the-lion-king-passes/

[cleargreenwater]

Awww, sad :-( Wow though, 28 and how many animals zoo or pet are lucky enough to kick in their sleep? And with such an illustrious obit. Good show, Brownie! May you enjoy an endless zebra buffet in the sky!

Really as terribly stylized as the TLK hyenas are, the animation as far as locomotion goes isn't really all that off, there's some mannerisms they work into the characters pretty well.

The "the oldest-known hyena in a U.S. zoo" designation does make me wonder though, I've never seen a verified 28 year old hyena to compare but there was one at this rural "zoo" near a friend of mine once that I'm pretty sure could've been a contender. Their spots fade some with age and this thing was almost a total washed-out blank, mysteriously disappeared a month or two later, too :P


(On a completely different note, how DO YOU FIND all these news things? I am always so amazed!)

[Leorgathar]

One of the weirdest tributes I've seen so far :\ The scene is well staged (and crafted) But the animals are way off :lol: Although at least someone took their time to do it, which is respectable, haha.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xNwjNRJLg&feature=player_embedded

Why did they use cows instead of lions? beats me :p

[King Simba]

Gosh, that's full of uglyness. :\ But I guess it's pretty cool in its own way. :p

[Rafiki]

Gee, that was strange... Those chickens :lol: Anyone else who thinks Rafiki looks really really creepy? :cringe:

[HasiraKali]

I loved the flowers around him though. :lol:

[KanuTGL]

Like I said on Facebook, I really think they did a pretty good job of what they had :lol: The Pride Rock was awesome though :3

[Rafiki]

I loved the flowers around him though. :lol:

He's literally attractive! It looks like he is aspirating them... :\ :lol:

[Utora]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhK4_iNzD7s

Here is one, and even though in Russian there is no dialogue...TLK scene is at end, made me :lol:



so did beginning...o.o

[ThiagoPE]

Good one utora

here is an ad of TLKoB brazilian version I saw at GRU/SBGR airport

http://oreileao.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IMAG0775.jpg

[KanuTGL]

Not really a sighting, but did you hear what the Eurovision Song Contest slogan is this year?

"We Are One"... :idiot:

[Jazzy B Bunny]

Just browsing through my virgin media 'on demand' and came across Disney karaoke!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c378/Jazzyb123/FCB4E637-D7BB-4280-9B22-EFAE8589D48B-3042-000002C080B15ED9-1.jpg

[King Simba]

I have one too. :p

This one is taken from when Emilio and I went to see TLKoB while it's on tour in Manchester. We went to Pizza Express just down the road from the theatre and guess where they put us? Right underneath TLK being projected on the wall. :D Sad scene we were taken with though. :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/simbaspride/486026_10200258994667301_1667799547_n_zpse4c37916. jpg

And what's more is that they were also playing the TLK soundtrack. It was like we were meant to be there. :lol:

[Leorgathar]

Haha yeap, that was such a coincidential night :lol: We made the right choice by dining at Pizza Express :p

[Jazzy B Bunny]

We went to Pizza Hut after the show when it was in Bristol! Knew we should have gone to pizza express instead :lol:

[King Simba]

We were gonna go to Pizza Hut, but there was none nearby, so Pizza Express it was. I'm so glad we went there now. :lol:

[Simbaspirit]

WANT!

There was a school dance group at the hockey game last night dancing to some weird remix of Disney songs that was heavy on the TLK. It was very strange.

[ThiagoPE]

Here, a mobile company (TIM) are being widely criticized because their network quality, in lot of places the phones do npt work because the signal is low or there is no signal of it at all, so someone had the idea....

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qsDzQQ7P4lA/ULtN7Fk7gAI/AAAAAAAAZp0/gMKPa64aGRM/s1600/427_128-alt-tim2.jpg
The writting says "This is the way you look like when you are LOOKING FOR PHONE SIGNAL. TIM you without signal"

[HasiraKali]

:lol: That's awesome.

[Leorgathar]

I'm very new to the Doctor Who series, and I'm sure this one is very well known for any Whovian, but I didn't know about it and just discovered it recently while watching the 2005 Christmas special, so... I'll post this gem here anyway just for the sake of it, it cacked me up :lol:

The Doctor quotes The Lion King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjz-ynF2o34)

[KanuTGL]

Classic moment :lol:

[KanuTGL]

TLK is currently being shown on Swedish channel 1, in English! :D

Hahaha... :lol:

[Sadiki]

Today when I was at work I came across a bundle board that someone had wrote on " They call me Mr.Pig! " Pumba ( I guess they didn't know it was spelled with 2 a's ) The Lion King...

That was the first time I seen that board around XD. We have had to monitor boards since the company almost lost 2 million dollar contract due a board that said F...Morons. Also made me lose 11 days of work.

[Sombolia]

They just showed Simba on the Colbert Report, while talking about who would win in a fight between a lion and a tiger :p

[ThiagoPE]

Today here we are having the High School National Exam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exame_Nacional_do_Ensino_M%C3%A9dio), Almost all the questions has texts that´s sets a base for the question that is comming, and one of those texts in a question of today´s exam had TLK on it.

It was about movies that shows África in a weird way, which make our look for africa being distorted, they wrote about movies like Ace Ventura: when nature call which shows african peple as weird and crazy. the text ended with the line:
"The Lion King, the Disney animated feature, which is the most sucessfull african-themed movie of all time, has no real african people in it"

[Sombolia]

Look at this really old sighting (http://kaworei.tumblr.com/post/65201473301)! (That's Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the voice actor of young Simba, giving out the candy :p)

[Azerane]

Did anyone see the episode of The Big Bang Theory with James Earl Jones in it? It was hilarious, and yes, there is a mention of TLK ;)

I saw that on my facebook news feed today. That's way too cute.

-edit- jut in case you cant view the link, this was it:

[Azerane]

Driving home from work yesterday, there was a car with the number plate "TLK" I'm going to allow myself to think that Lion King is the only possible explanation for this :D

[ThiagoPE]

Here the first letter of the number plate is a standard which you can identify the state that the car were registred (mine is K) so it would be impossible me to do same thing here.

I don't know If anyone saw this before: in the song of the end of the movie hotel Transylvania, tlk is recalled.

A little story about How Ave Verum Corpus made connection with To Die For.


Dear AC,

I just got off the phone with my good friend Hans Zimmer, composer of Disney's The Lion King. After a pleasant talk about nothing in particular, you know, about that time with the guy in the predicament at that place--and I'll never forget it, hilarious--HZ's tone suddenly changed.

"You know what, Appleton? Sometimes I feel under-appreciated as a composer. Sure I've done alright--four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, one Academy Award, and all. Gladiator was okay, Pirates of the Carribbean was likeable enough, Dark Knight had some catchy chords, and Inception was...well, let's just say our minds were all blown on more than one count. But I have one great wish."

"What's that?" I asked.

"I want to be hailed as a true German genius. I went to a lot of effort to cleverly and beautifully insert a theme from Mozart's 'Ave Verum Corpus' into the piece 'To Die' in The Lion King, but nobody seems to have noticed. Uncultured swine," he moaned.

"Sorry, what? I didn't catch that last part. Wait, Mozart in The Lion King? I didn't notice any Mozart. Maybe my hearing was shot after having to listen to Jonathon Taylor Thomas sing at the very beginning. Where's the Mozart at?" I queried.

Zimmer pulled out a score of "Ave Verum Corpus."

"For some reason, my only recording of 'To Die' is in this Finnish release of the movie. At 0:40 on the clock, follow along with the Mozart score, picking up at 'praegustatum' at bar 33 in the tenor and bass parts."

I did what he asked, and, sure enough, there it was, nearly note for note.

"HEAR THAT? HEAR THAT?" Zimmer shouted excitedly.

"Loud and clear Hans," I replied.

"If only more people would hear. I should have kept it in the original key instead of transposing it two half-steps up. Then the masses would've picked up on it for sure."

"Oh, right. That'd do it," I thought to myself.

Bam. Question answered. Except that none of that exchange is actually true. I'm not actually close friends with Mr. Zimmer. Nor do I know anyone who is. A little unfair a question, to ask about the mind of a musical celebrity. How should I know? I could ask him, but somehow I think it would take a while to get a personal audience with the Hans Zimmer. While internet theories abound, there is no report of Zimmer ever saying that the similarity between the two pieces was intentional. However, it may very well have been, as it fits the scene rather well, with the entrance of death and the like.The hymn is about the death of Christ.

--Appleton

[HasiraKali]

This isn't really an actual sighting since you'd expect to see TLK things in a kiosk selling TLK merchandise at Disney World, but this is a little detail my sister noticed while I was purchasing some stuff (*cough*Pumbaa pillow pet*cough*). The CM working there said he hadn't noticed it before. It is kind of up in the rafters, so it's kind of a hard thing to notice. We thought it was a lovely little detail.

http://i60.tinypic.com/2mcamid.jpg

[Vidan]

That's a nice touch. I'm glad people put their, umm .. pride in their work. :timonrockon1:

[Leorgathar]

Wow, I have that same casette around here somewhere. Nice find :D

[ThiagoPE]

when i was in São Paulo, i saw in a sign of a place that sold "exotic meats" and they took a picture of Pumbaa to represent Warthhog meat....

Very Very weird....

For some weird and strange reason I think I used to owned that cassette back when I was a child.

A little story about How Ave Verum Corpus made connection with To Die For.

It is extremely similar, would surely have to be intentional I would think. Then again, perhaps he composed it having heard Ave Verum Corpus in the past, but it's one of those things that you've forgotten and you don't even realise you're imitating in in something original.

Very interesting.

I realized that the whole article is satire made by someone. :lol:

At least he mention how Ave Verum Corpus made on Mufasa Died on the article. :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Amazing. I'll keep an eye out for this when I am there in a few days! :)

This is in the new little kiosk across from Harambe Theater where Festival of The Lion King is located.

I'm going to be there on Saturday. I'm so excited :lol: Maybe we'll run into each other.

Will they sell (or be) Gramophone/Vinyl for the soundtrack? Seems everyone go back to basic at the moment.

[HasiraKali]

Hot Topic did have the soundtrack on vinyl, but I don't think they still have it.

Assuming you're talking about the movie soundtrack, it's still available online, as of this post:

http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Disney+The+Lion+King+Film+Soundtrack+Vinyl+LP+Hot+ Topic+Exclusive-10159541.jsp

If you mean the Festival of the Lion King soundtrack, I think that's only available on CD.

[HasiraKali]

Maybe! My husband and I are flying out to the parks this week and our AK day is this Saturday for Harambe Nights.

Awesome. My sister and I are leaving tomorrow. :D We're going to Harambe Nights on Saturday too. I'm wearing a yellow shirt with a big Simba drawing stenciled on it, so if you see me haha. :lol:

Didn't Hot Topic sell The Lion King Legacy soundtrack Vinyl?

Anyway Thanks Vidan for giving me that link, I might buy that someday.

[Vidan]

It's the standard edition soundtrack, though that would be neat.

[s-tlk]

There is a nice, but more general interview with Andreas Deja (animator of Scar) at the Disney blog:
http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2014/09/10/bringing-the-90s-to-life-an-interview-with-animator-andreas-deja/
But there are still a few drops about TLK, e.g.


...At one time we even had a few real lions brought to the studio in order to study them up close. Some of us had the chance to touch a big lion’s mane… I cautiously used my non-drawing left hand, just in case.
:-D

[This Land]

On the Scar subject. The free newspaper i get that's handed out for free for train Commuters, they interview a celebrity every day. And they interviewed Jeremy Irons :D.

It was mainly about the DVD release of "Night train to Lisbon" but he mentioned alot about what he does in his spare time etc and they also mentioned his voice acting as Scar in Lion king . Was a good read to get to know more about what other stuff he does =3. I left the paper at work but when i get it back home i will scan it so people can read if you want ^^

I think you remember this one Azerane. ;) taken from the old thread that I dig up from the old posts.

[Leorgathar]

Wow, Dwayne Johnson said at the Oscars just now that he cried watching TLK. That was nice xD

[ThiagoPE]

You need to be very a very cold person to not cry with TLK...

[Guntur]

Whoah whoah wait wait, Michael Hollick a.k.a Nico Bellic from GTA IV was cast as Scar in Las Vegas Lion King Production?

That's a new sighting for me


http://www.lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2010/aug/05/life-uncle-scar-em-lion-kingem----and-scars-new-ba/

[Kirauni]

Wow... I didn't expect that GTA and TLK could be related. Haha, that's funny!

[Leorgathar]

Whoa! that's amazing, and unexpected :lol:

Just like I didn't expect to find a link between Joss Whedon and TLK 2: Simba's Pride. He wrote the lyrics for My Lullaby O.o
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923736/ (Look into the Soundtrack section)

Some site didn't give us his specific writing on Simba's Pride. ;) but I'm glad you found it though. Nice find Leor.

I was a big Bad Boy fan back in 95 and was surprised that Mark Mancina (Bad boy composer) was the musical arranger for TLK, but that was a long time ago. I remember that back in 2003 so here's a little trivia for you all. :lol:

[Leorgathar]

Okaaay this sounds so oddly familiar O.o

I'm sure it must be listed in some TLK trivias, but I didn't know about this!

[Guntur]

Yeah, I remember back on my teen years that I read the trivias about other movie reference but by the power of youtube, I can see the similarity how he deliver the words.

I wasn't sure if that should go in the LG thread or the Pony thread...x3

Yeah, I'd say it counts, and wow! What a crossover xD I'm not exactly fond of Kion with a unicorn horn and wings, though ><

Me neither! I mean the horn and wings don't even match his fur color! Never fear though - fixed it. :P :irule:

Ladies and gentleman, I might put this on the music thread but this is just too good to let go.

King of Pride Rock orchestra arrangement.

[Leorgathar]

Wow, that was pretty good! :cs_love:

Man, it's been a long time since I last went to a symphonic orchestra, I should check one out sometime. I once went to a John Williams tribute, but it would be awesome if there was a Hans Zimmer one, with TLK pieces and all.

I have to share this of course. Amazing amazing performance. This rendition have to be on number 2 (1 is Elton John obviously).

[Azerane]

Two things that aren't particularly amazing.

The first is that while in Big W yesterday I thought the distorted bass sounds I could hear from a distant tv sounded familiar. Turns out they were playing TLK in store (on a TV with crappy sound) and it was the fight scene between Scar and Simba :D

Then yesterday evening while driving, I happened to be following someone towing a boat, the name of the boat was Sea Simba :D

[HasiraKali]

There's a Lion King reference in Deadpool. I won't spoil it, but I laughed. :p

[Lyonize]

Neebs Gaming reviews the SCAR H from Battlefield 4 and the conversation derails. TLK references galore.

There is some language in this video so be warned. (TLK References start at about 2:20.)

:lol: that's hilarious, Hoping for him too voice the Star Wars character too. ;)

[HasiraKali]

I'm not gay for Kovu. :p I'm not even straight for Kovu...

[ThiagoPE]

Kovu is the most liked character from TLK without question. I can say I like him a lot.

^ Perfect! :kovusmile:

Ok, so not really a sightseeing, but apparently there's a new militia group being formed in order to "protect" Donald Trump's rallies against protesters.
The name this group chose to call themselves? well what do you know... it's the 'Lion's Guard' :woe:

News about them are already spamming the Lion Guard tag on Tumblr. This is seriously the most bizarre/unsettling piece of news I've heard today, for if there weren't enough reasons to dislike Trump and his supporters, now they're messing with our fandom :kiongrumpy:

Ugh. I heard about this. Pleas, Disney, for the love of god, if there was ever a good time to sue someone for likeness to one of your trademarks, now would be the time. :scaridiots:

I was walking to some theater with a friend on Wednesday near the center of Athens, when we came across this bar/ restaurant called Rafiki. It was so random, that I felt utterly amazed.:lol:
