The Lion King [DVD]

Product Information

The film is one of Disney's first attempts at animating hair and fur, due to getting its technology to create fur. With Scar and the hyenas gone, and with the rightful king in place, the Pride Lands are restored which is turning green with life again. The film concludes with Rafiki presenting Simba and Nala's newborn cub into the air, thus continuing the Circle of Life. Although this movie is rated G by the MPAA, it received a TV-PG rating on most TV channels for the violent content, especially the scene where Mufasa dies.

Several lionesses with the same type of fur coloring as Nala appear when they battle for the last time. The Lion King was the first-ever feature film to be translated to European Portuguese and the first Disney film to be dubbed in Zulu.

[9] The story artists also did not have much faith in the project, with Brenda Chapman declaring she was reluctant to accept the job " because the story wasn't very good", [3] and writer Burny Mattinson saying to co-worker Joe Ranft about the film that " I don't know who is going to want to watch that one." [8] Most of the leading animators were either doing their first major work supervising a character, or had much interest in animating an animal. [4] Thirteen of these supervising animators, both in California and Florida, were responsible for establishing the personalities and setting the tone for the film's main characters. The animation leads for the main characters included Mark Henn on young Simba, Ruben A. Aquino on adult Simba, Andreas Deja on Scar, Aaron Blaise on young Nala, Anthony DeRosa on adult Nala, and Tony Fucile on Mufasa. Nearly 20 minutes of the film, including the " I Just Can't Wait to Be King" sequence, [6] were animated at the Disney-MGM Studios facility. Ultimately, more than 600 artists, animators, and technicians contributed to The Lion King over the course of its production. Weeks before the film was to be released, production was affected by the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which shut off the studio and required the animators to finish their work from home.
