Wow!! Tomorrow the new show "The Legend of The Lion King" will open at Disneyland Paris!!!

I've read that there will be some kind of fan meeting inside the park. Anyone going there?

Hope I can go there in August...=)

[CW Tyger]

Probably not for opening day. ;) Hmm... would be cool to go. But only if we have a better experience in France than is mentioned in another thread...

[King Simba]

I'd like to go but since I'm not going to France this year, I may have to give that one a miss. :alone:

[King Simba]

Im there! and its *yuck*.. I hope Disneyland and the show bring my spirits up tomorrow..

And the fan meeting.. well thats just me and Nathilie meeting up for an excange of International Soundtracks...

Great! Tell us about it!!=D

My halfbrother and his wife son and daughter are going to france! They're so lucky!!!

[Dare]

What exactly IS the "Legend of the Lion King"? Is it a live action show, or just one of those silly puppet shows?

[imported_Rafiki]

I think it's a live show. The descriptions on the Disney page were kind of vague. Look at this page.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stuart.snelling1/legend.html

It has some nice pictures. I've never been to "Animal Kingdom" but I guess "Legend of The Lion King" should be similar to "Festival of The Lion King". Am I right?:confused:

Hope those of you who are going there can report...:ayecapn:

[King Simba]

I've been to the Animal Kingdom in Florida. I went to see a Lion King show similar to that one.

[King Simba]

The show was.. well I will say this, It was a cheap rip off of TLKoB, and the singing.. not so good.. Stage effects rock.. The stampeed and Mufasa's spirit scences were really jazzed up.

They have a very dynamic stage, but the show moves much to quickly. The siging of CYFtLT was very very good tho!!

I had a bad seat, and Nathilie (and her cool BF) and I only made it to the last show, and it was in French *sigh*... However it wasnt so bad since the songs were in english (and there wasn't much else but songs). I kept thinking 'whats the point of having it in French if there is like 10 minutes of dialouge?'.

Bottom line, show was 5/10 - effects 9.5/10.

On a postive note, the ENTIRE park is litered with TLK goodies.. All the coke cups and tray papers.. bla bla.. everything i TLK.. And in the central 'hub' as we cast members like to call it, was A total TLK setup!! music playing (all TLK instrumentals)... It was heaven! I have pics for you guys, as soon as I can ill post em! *weeeeeee*

[Mabatu]

Judging by the pics, it looks to be pretty good, but i can believe you that it would be trying to copy TLKoB.

I look forward to the pics (from the show, that is)! :D

[Prince Simba]

i wish i could go... but i have no plans to leave the US until... ever. i want to take a trip to Europe, or preferably Africa, but my parents 'cant afford it' which confuses me because my mom got a new car and my dad got a new motorcycle within 3 weeks of each other...

ill have to go some time... but it probably wont be until after i have kids at this rate

I saw it yesterday, together with LKD.

It was bad ... It was kind of like a bad rip off from the musical.
Story in French and songs in English.

They just squeezed the whole movie into 30 minutes.

BUT: special effects, and dancing was totaly great !!

It's a life action show, kind of like the original musical.

Only Timon, is a guy in a costume, and Pumbaa and Zazu are puppets.

[King Simba]

I think I went to see "Festival of the Lion King". It was only around 30-45 minutes long, however it was still good.

whaha, my boyfriend is cool :D
(not really though, haha)

And you my man, are the maddest person I have ever met in my whole life.

I saw some things in the studio's today, lucky you weren't there, or the shops had to close down :bleen:

[nathalie]

For those who want to see it, I got a link, somebody filmed the whole thing, from Friday or Saterday.

[nafklt]

I went to Disneyland two years ago and filmed too. I'm going to see if I can dig out anything.

[unregistered user]

Ooh..now I remember that parking thingy by the trainstation!!

It had sinks in the ceiling!!

[kcnmttcnn]

Want me to help clean out your room too? :cheese:

I had the worst time parking at disneyland. That Pinocchio parking area... -.-" We left and came back a little later and the entrance was closed... we payed already... so went decided to enter through the Exit. And cars were coming out that way... so we had to reverse back out into the middle of traffic. This guy was honking at us and yeah. Then tried to find another way in so we droved down into nowhere, took a wrong turn and U-turned an un-U-turnable turn... and a little later ended up parking in the Disneyland hotel place thingie. I won't say anything other than that. :wicked:

No no, i could swear it was a giant waffle!!!!

And as for the ride.......i HATE the torturous bit at the end, where it makes you sit there for like 15 mins and the song just keeps going and going and going and ARGH SHUT UP!!!!!!

*ahem* yeah, but otherwise it was good *cough* ;)

[nathalie]

That screen, was excually water.

My French was pretty good, so I did understand half of it.

[unregistered user]

As much as I am obsessed with Disney XD I don't think I'd want to go to Disneyland Paris (or whatever it's called) ^^;; Even for TLK.

If I was going to France, I'd go to share the secret recipe of Freedom fries, Woes would of course go with me, right Woes? :evilgrin:

[nathalie]

I didn't even know about that show.

We knew we wanted to go on those dates, but I only knew about it, when we were at the agency.

[Leopatra]

I would go there just to see and grab some Lion King Merchandise and for the Lion King decoratings ;) Oh and I thought they have a Simba animatronic/puppet? I would certainly steal that. And after I have dragged it home I would marry it. *nod*

But that won't happen at least not in the near future.

Do they still carry those huge Cub Simba plushes for 100 Euro?
I want a huge Nala to go with him but noooooooooo they won't ever do a big nice (not that bald Hasbro thing) Nala plush -.-

There was another Lion King themed show in Paris before this one it was shown until April and they had a real Lion Cub to be pulled in the air by some guy in a Rafiki Fursuit. Poor little fellow. (I saw photos)

Rafiki: I think this year or early next year there will be Disney on Ice in Germany again and they will have a Lion King part.

[nathalie]

Yes, there was also the Lion King carnaval.

But that was on the streets, with a real lion cub.

[Leopatra]

Yes, there was also the Lion King carnaval.

So it is still on?

[nathalie]

No, that was only during the carnaval period.

That's Februari, March, April.

Really? Saw the "Jungle Show" a couple of years ago in Oberhausen and it was great! Hope I can see this year's show again!:cheese:

Oh, and thanks for the link!=D

[nafklt]

I think in Florida... but not sure... :cheese:

[unregistered user]

The Legend of the Lion King is over, to my knowledge anyway. It sure ain't in Florida no more :( But there is The Festival of the Lion King in Florida :cheese:

[Suki]

When I went to the Animal Kingdom in March '04 (WDW, FL), It seemed as if it was devoted to TLK. I mean, in the VHS and DVD of TLK II:SP, there's a little commercial for the Animal Kingdom. There's this bottle of fireflies and suddenly it bursts up.The second it bursts up, there's a guy singing the begining of CoL. Then there's the Tree of Life in the AK, The Festival of The Lion King, and there's the parade (Rafiki's in it.)....I mean, doesn't the Tree sound familar? ;)

[King Simba]

The tree in Animal Kingdom is the tree in TLK. I went to Animal Kingdom about 3 years ago...

[Suki]

Yeah, I know. That's why I asked if it sounded familar. :D :p

[unregistered user]

Animal Kingdom is devoted to all animal life, not just TLK. TLK plays an important roll though because its entire cast is composed of animals. I think they should add Bambi in there too. They have Dinosaur in there which is cool. I went there two years ago.

[Suki]

They have a little of A Bug's Life in it. :thinks:

[unregistered user]

Yep, they do

[King Simba]

That "It's a Bug's life" 3d ride is awesome, IMO...

[Suki]

What does "IMO" mean?:confused:

[Lion King Stu]

been to animal kingdom 2 times already last time i went was 2 years ago :cheese: went to Barbados last time instead of Florida

I've never even been to Disney World, so I wouldn't know anything about it's "Animal Kingdom". Oh well....=P

[Simba_TLK]

I went there in 1998 ;)
it was great there :cheese:
i want to go back to see the 'Festival of The Lion King' again :wow:

i also wanted to go on that Safari thing they have, but when i went, it wasnt finished yet :alone:

If I recall correctly, Rafiki's tree didn't have all the carvings of animals on the trunk.

[jannali]

sounds cool! =D i like those 3d movies, the shrek one at universal studios was fun too!

[nafklt]

:( I've never been to DisneyWorld, but I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim 2 years ago...they didn't have much to do with TLK...but the parade had Simba in it.:ayecapn:

And I think Rafiki's tree is called "Teh Tree of Life" or something...:confused:

I saw that! :lol: I remember went we went, when the woman fell and her hand was in front of you, a teenge girl with her friend in the front row; and the guy on the screen says "I hope she didn't claw you" or something, and the teen girl..:lol: the girl...:lol: :lol::lol: the girl screams:


"OW!"
:dies laughing:

Jannali: I went to the Shrek one!=D Remember when Donkey sneezes and boogers(really it's water, guys) come flying at you?:lol: But when Shrek 3-D came out, I found out when I was at my friend's house, it was Shrek 4D (The thing me and Jannali saw)!:gasp:

When they did that thing with the snake, I just had to cover my eyes!I had a Simba and Nala plushie with me, and I covered their eyes too! :haha: Wasn't there somthin' 'bout a snake's head turning into a lion's head?

Who went to that thing where it had Mickey (I sware it's in the Magical Kingdom) in 3D fourm and Donald Duck was in it? Donald kept on getting trapped in Disney movies. Ugh, I can't remember the name!:confused: Good news! It had Simba in it! Mainly I went to it because a saw a commercial for it and all these guys in Disney movies were tiptoing and I saw Simba's shadow! =D Unfortunaly, Nala wasn't in it.:alone:

[Sharifu]

I've been to Animal Kingdom once, in 2000. Boy did I love it there! I love Disney parks. I've been to Disneyland and Disneyworld. But I have been to Disneyland more then Disneyworld. (Because Disneyworld is a lot farther away) ;) But I haven't been to Disneyland since 1997, and I haven't seen that new California Adventure park. And the last time I went to Disneyworld, was in January of 2000. (If you are ever going to go to Disneyworld, go in the winter time, never go in the summer time! It is too hot! But winter there is nice.) ;) But yeah I really loved Animal Kingdom and I want to go back some day.

[lion_roog]

Take me next time you go...Pllleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeeee.....:D :cheese: :D :cheese:

[Sharifu]

Sure! That'd be great! ;) :cheese: Not sure when I'll be able to go again though. =/ My mom said we should go to Disneyland next summer, anyone want to go summer 2005? :evilgrin: We can meet up there... ;)

[lion_roog]

I will start saving up the money.....:D :cheese: :cheese: :D

[LunarCat]

muha bringing back old threads....:jejeje:

DAK rocks mkay...new ride on the way!!! in asia....

anywhosen! i don't think DAK is dedicated to TLK. It's just easy to place TLK related items in the park. :D :cheese:

Kilamanjaro safaris are awesome, i recently went and saw the two baby elephants! One is named Tufani and Kianga :p

I'm fairly confident I've posted these pictures on Lea before, but it's been awhile, so here you go!

What better way to celebrate 50 years of Disneyland but with a parade? This is Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams, at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. There are eight marvelous floats in all, designed by one of the makers of the floats in the Rose Parade.

And what a float this one is!

Simba and Nala are sophisticated puppets, allowing them to sing, dance, and roar of course. I even spied Nala waving!

Along the route, the parade does something called a 'parade stop.' The floats are really moving stages, and at the parade stop the floats open up and a show takes place! On this float, the Tree of Life expands and gets taller, and rope dancers perform stunts from 30-some feet in the air. (not pictured, sorry, I'll be sure to get it next time!)

[2 Die FR]

Here are some excellent pics of the float I found on the web. Large Picture Warning!

I took some pictures of my own while at Disneyland. They're on my Photobucket. I'd link them, but my computer is being stupid and won't let me. Those peoples who took those photos above are way better photographers than me, though, so mine are nothing compared to theirs.:idiot:

I agree, that parade was amazing. I was jumping up and down like a little kid when I saw the TLK float.:p

[Sharifu]

Ooh! Those pictures are excellent 2 Die FR! Thanks so much for posting them!

I took pics of the TLK part of the parade as well but they didn't come out too well because I didn't turn on the flash so it was too dark. (It was the 7 pm parade, it was still light outside, so I didn't think of turning on the flash) I loved seeing that float! I saw it twice too!

Makes me wish TLK parade that played during 1994 to 1997 was still playing. That parade was so awesome! I saw it twice during the summer of 1994. And I still remember it pretty well. Oh well, at least I have that TLK Parade VHS my mom got me at Disneyland. It brings back the memories. :D

[LunarCat]

funny how there's a tiger in the african lion king parade :p

awesome pics 2 Die Fr! :D :cheese:

[Kiara Serengeti]

I saw a clip from the parade of FotLK on a Travel Channel show called 'Disney's Animal Kingdom'. They showed the animatronics lion and the people in the parade dressed as animals and such.

[Ashara]

I was gonna go to that like a year ago 0_o But the idea of having a parade just for TLK sorta creeped me out. lol

[arjupraja143]

The initial voices... basically remember properly, most were the initial voices. Obviously, it was only a playback the puppeteers did the actual magic. Following the wonderful musical Circle of Existence intro, and so the puppet show, you had been escorted into probably the most fantastic places on the planet: A Lion King Gift Shop. It had been paradise.

[Kailash]

Really you are right....I also don't understand...
