Discussions about TLK from the 90's (usenet archives etc)

[Nit]

So back in 2013 when Google Groups were still usable I searched for some discussions about The Lion King from the time it was still in a production. :D


Someone watched unfinished version of the movie:

It was known back in 1994 that the Morning Report was going to be a song ;)

First discussions about similarities to "Kimba the White Lion": http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.anime/browse_thread/thread/e3c10bb500beb96d/9ca8f6119646c330?hl=pl&q=lion+king#9ca8f6119646c330

Furries were into TLK before TLK was even made:

Someone had a very good feeling: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.disney/browse_thread/thread/1b6fb4b205b9d894/f411a04ebe1a3067?hl=pl&q=lion+king#f411a04ebe1a3067

Walt Disney Feature Animation Prez Peter Schneider says TLK is
the first Disney film to have a character die on screen.
It's like a quote from a "Truman Show"! :lol:

- Well, Christof, I can't thank you enough for giving so generously of your time tonight. I think it's safe to say now that this crisis is behind us and Truman is back to his old self, we can look forward to some exciting new developments?
- Well, Mike, the big news is that Meryl will be leaving Truman in an upcoming episode, and a new romantic interest will be introduced. I'm determined television's first on-air conception will still take place.
- Well, another television milestone straight ahead. You heard it here first. It has been a singular honor and pleasure, sir. Christof... thank you.
