I remember this like it was yesterday......


So freakin' awesome, Sharifu.

[Sharifu]

Wow you guys this topic is old. But I still have that picture framed in my room.

[Leopatra]

Wow, this is an interesting story.

Somehow, threads like this shouldn't vanish I am happy that someone digged it up.


I saw the Lion King back when it came out at the cinema.

It was my favorite cinema, a smaller one which has now closed because of those big cinema chains :P. I even met the german voice of Rafiki there, it was a coincidence and I didn't even notice until I saw a photo of him some weeks later, it happened when we went to see "The fearless Four" a munich animation Movie, he voiced the rooster, so I think that's why he saw the movie, but he died some years ago.
I also saw it in Imax, but on a flat screen, so much details I never noticed before.

But that's nothing like meeting one of the TLK animators ;)
A pity that there isn't a Lion King convention where you can meet the cast, like there are Star Trek conventions.

It took me some time to realise how old this thread is; I didn't notice that until the end of the discussion. Anyway, I'm _soooo_ jealous at Sharifu, that story was impressive. I want to meet TLK animators as well, and get an autograph _and_ a drawing. Or at least get to see TLK in IMAX (as far as I know, there are no IMAX theaters in Finland).

Cool story


We have an IMAX in Belgium, but no Lion King

Only Beaty and the Beast, as far as I can remember.

Well, it's your fault, for forcing me to post. (what are you doing with that chair?) @.@...

[Sharifu]

Yes I am very lucky that I got to meet a TLK animator, I was so happy! I just wish I had gotten a picture taken with him! Why didn't I think of that?! Oh well. Reading this post again brings back memories. The Lion King isn't playing in IMAX anymore of course... It started in the IMAX in Decemeber 25 2002, to April or May of 2003. So yeah that day I went to the IMAX and met Michael, was January 18, 2003.

Hey Leopatra, I saw TLK in the regular theaters too back in 1994. Two times. 1994 was a great year.

Lucky you...

This is the Omnimax here....

That is so awesome. Back when Lion King was in theaters, I didn't go to see it because I was just a little kid. And when it came out recently in IMAX, I wasn't anywhere near as interested in TLK then as I am now, and IMAX tickets are expensive. I really wish I could have seen it, but now I fear it is too late And I highly doubt that Disney will ever release Lion King in theaters again. They probabally feel they've pulled enough $ out of it. TLK, TLK2, TLK 1.5, Timon and Pumba TV Series, TLKoB, TLK IMAX. I really think I've missed my chance. But very very cool picture. If I could meet any TLK animator of my choice, I would want to meet the head animator of Adult Simba. I just love the way he is drawn. But If I could meet any animator I would be happy

Lucky, I was only 5 years old, so I dont remember much about it at all. All I remember was that I thought that Scar was awesome... and my parents were kind of shocked that I liked Scar the best.

I was 7 when I went to go see it. I remember going to the theater to see TLK, but I remember very little of actually watching it though, I remember a tiny bit though, like the CYFTLT scene I remember pretty clearly on the big screen.

I remember the Scar talking to Mufasa scene, and vaguely the stampede scene (although I had NO idea what was really going on, and I didn't understand the story) and the Be Prepared scene.
