Rafiki Finds Simba’s Hair Scene | THE LION KING | Movie Scene (2019) 

These new versions of Disney movies make me appreciate the old ones so much more.

In the 1994 version you can see the excitement in rafiki when he realises the now intolerable reign of scar is ending as simba returns, but i have to say they nailed the soundtrack

Remember in the original when he learns Simba is alive and he goes from shocked to excited in like 1.2 seconds. He’s laughing and is so energetic. I’m so glad they just asked the actor to read his lines and not add anything new at all.

In Loving Memory Of Robert Guillaume role voice as Rafiki (Born November 30, 1927 - Died October 24, 2017)

You really have to admire how they did this sequence. The hair went through a whole journey instead of just ride on a long gust of wind.

Rafiki the wise mandrill knows Simba the lion was alive. Not only that, he also knew that Simba was a full grown lion and time to take his father's place🦁🔥

Beautiful scene. It perfectly shows the circle of life.

Doesn't that scene makes you remember the Disney's Dinosaur egg's travel like me ?

He knew that fur belonged to Simba just by feeling it, not even smelling it

Aren’t you so glad the scene where Rafiki tells Simba “The past can hurt, but the way I see it you can either run from it, or learn from it!” was cut in favor to make room to show us a scene of Simba’s fur being rolled around in literal shit by a dung beetle? So much of an improvement! *sarcasm

What a casting for that voice. Marvellous

If Rafiki spoke in English, this scene would probably be 100 times as emotional. I believe the reason Rafiki isn't as energetic as he was in the old film when he learned that Simba was alive, is because the writers seemed to make him older. Listen to how he laughs at 1:49, sounds like he got a little bit older. Seriously though the voice actor in the last film was such a blessing, he was the reason Rafiki is my favorite character in the Lion King, that scene was so amazing. This voice actor speaking in a different language was interesting and made me half smile, but the 1994 stomps this into the ground.

Rafiki is the Iroh of Avatar and the Yoda of Star Wars

I've avoided watching this remake for the sake of preserving my childhood... this two minutes alone did irreparable damage. Like, the mad joy Rafki has in the original cartoon, when he realises that Simba is alive and that there's hope for Pride Rock, is a cinematic moment that stays with you. This is a cut scene you want to skip through.

I’m sure this was edited but I swear, I remember the hair getting pooped out of another animal at one point.

I'm glad I saw the remake. Because it made me want to watch the original. So I did.

Cute, majestic, and beautiful.

such a beautiful movie that this is

What’s funny is that just before this scene, Timon and Pumbaa just discussed to Simba the impossibility of a “Circle of Life” existing. This just shows how everything’s connected. I don’t think this will ever top the original, but I love how this scene (along with a few others) differentiates this film with the classic.

His hair had a long travel like it was alive hair: man where rafiki

Huh, so Rafiki is so good at recognizing hair, he doesn't need a science lab.

1:28 1:32 Rafiki said *Simba!* *[Chuckles].... Simba is alive!* 1:41 Rafiki speaking *xhosa & laugh!!* *It is time!*

Just doesn't have the same energy as the original. In that one you can feel the excitement in Rafiki's voice, you can see the happiness in his eyes and hear the wild joy in his laughter of knowing that Simba is alive. This one he's more like "oh shit, that's awesome, cool."

Cartoon: “He’s ALIVE!?” *overwhelmed/ relieved eccentric laughter* Remake: SIMBAAAAA. Ah Ah Ah.

Though most of us can't understand Rafiki, according to the script he's yelling excitedly in Xhosa

😮amazing movie one off the best movies simbas pride 😊 his tree amazing

The part with the tuft of hair snagging into a tree and passing through a giraffe and a dung beetle rolling it somewhere was skipped

Yes he could of been more excited when he first found out Simba was a alive BUT I do like the ending when he was standing on the tree branch speaking and his native language so hey…

say what you want about this movie, the visual effects are incredible

Remember how in the 1994 version he actually made this conclusion by throwing the stuff into a turtle shell and used his knowledge and conecttion to nature to figure out simba is alive. And remember how exited he was when he figured out. But hey i guess emotions aren't realistic. BUT HEY HE HAS FURE GLOW

Wow the picture quality is so good

What a scene what a movie and what a music

same energy as "The Egg Travels" from Disney's "Dinosaur"

I love the original, but the remake is still good. I love the way they made him a full on African, and forgive my spelling, shaman.

U have to love rafikis passion and love

The bird nest scene 0:40😂😂😂

I really like this scene about the "cycle of life"

I love this movie

Rafiki: oOoOO, Simba's hair😈 Me: Wth, What do u need the hair for?? It's not dinner😂😂

I like the new ones, but i love the old ones more

1994 animated version of this scene is so much better!

1:40 I like to think that John Kami is thanking Med Hondo. Rest in Peace our Rafiki, John did an amazing job playing Rafiki

"IKamva lika Mufasa, ikamva ngu Simba"

Seriously? No lab work, no magic potions, no weird mixes of substances, nothing? He just looked at the hair and knew?

They skipped the part where it’s wrapped in dung because they messed up amazingly 😂😂

Here's something maybe interesting: 94 Rafiki's last line of dialogue in this scene is "it IS time!", saying it's Simba's time to finally be king. What's the very last line of dialogue as well? "it is time" when he actually becomes king making a callback. Completely removed from remake because....?

It’s like you expect certain moments to last just as long as the animated version but it just comes too quick

Very enjoyable blend of African tribal instruments with orchestra!

SIM BACH!

Very nice 🦁 king my favourite movie

1:47 “SEEM-BACH”

This just lacks any kind of soul. I can't believe how much better the original is

I can't believe they butchered Rafiki like this....

Did I really see Raiki digging through dry shit to find out Simba is alive?

Rafiki is so old that he's been around probably before Ahadi

That was DNA back in the day, before technology. Rafiki was a Genius/Dr. but they called him a "Baboon" 😂🤣😂🤣😂

However, one thing that both movies didn't do that could have made this scene a perfect 10/10 was have the scene be longer. Like, having Rafiki doubt how Simba its alive, and then finding some evidence like how Mufasa told him about Kiara and Kovu in the sequel, nonetheless this is my 2nd favorite scene of the remake.

Really enjoy the radiant music from 0:46 onwards.

La tengo en el corazon esta pelicula

Both sides I appreciate though one side makes more sense or done better or at least more believable than the other. ------ Animated: Rafiki being shocked and energetic when he learned of Simba being alive. Remake: Rafiki, probably due to exactly being an aged mandrill, did not show the same energy. The exact same reason why he didn’t do Kung Fu against the hyenas during the climax. --- Animated: Simba leapt at Scar, screw physics. Remake: Simba bites on Scar which gave Scar 2 choices. Either fall together or pull himself and Simba up to safety then get into battle. --- Animated: Simba forces Scar to confess after leaping back up. Remake: Remember that lions and lionesses have much better hearing than humans. Sarabi who got an extended role than her animated counterpart caught Scar’s lie. “Conviction by contradiction” trope. I like this one better personally. --- Animated: Pumbaa carried cub Simba. I prefer this one. Remake: Cub Simba got up on his own and followed Timon and Pumbaa. --- Animated: Nala just shows up. The reason is due to prey hunting as the Pride Lands have no more preys. Remake: They show how Nala left. I prefer this one. --- Animated: Simba ascending Pride Rock. Exactly because we can see their emotions (i.e. Zazu probably could not believe the tyranny was finally over and there’s the fact that Timon and Pumbaa could not believe they made friends with a lion who became a king), this held more emotional impact. Remake: Due to lack of emotions for real life animals, the same impact could not be felt visually but only spiritually because of the nostalgic music. --- Animated: I “prefer” Mufasa’s doom scene here since Scar showed much more villainous vibe. Remake: While the gorge is smaller, it does not change the fact that Mufasa still got trampled on. Scar here being a hothead than his “calm” animated counterpart. ------ The list goes on so I’ll just leave it at these.

Cute/nice. ❤❤❤

This is basically a David Attenborough documentary

It was mufusa who brought it to Him. And causes the drought because scar wasn’t the rightful king

I have no motivation to watch the full movie. The first one is already a masterpiece.

Don't get rid of it.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This film is basically almost a 2 hour long nature documentary

Amazing💗💪

Back in the day we called these Disney Bootlegs!

Can I cringe? Yes... Yes I can...

John Kani as rafiki

Wow

Alingon Mitra sent me here :)

Leaf-cutter ants live in New World. Simba's hair traveled between continents.

Johnny...its real is freedom and leave fairfax cage 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ johnny is realase 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉hihhhaaa

O rei leao melhor filme

Look his hair same as mufasa 😮

Refiki noticed a feather from simba's feather it is olso you can see Refiki's eyes looking at it when he said simba. Refiki noticed and said simba is alive and take place as king mufasa will be proud of him going back to defeat scar

This scene took up so much time for no reason. LOL

Fun fcat rollar bird never bulit their nest in open they are cavity breeders

0:04 The orphan child growing up with a parent 0:59

Simba its alive

Benson did a better job playing Rafiki!!

Am I the only one who thought this was agonizingly underwhelming? In this one the music is peak but the performance is like he's too exhausted to lose his mind over it. Whereas in the animation when the score goes up he's shrieking with laughter and just completed knocked out of his tree. I just found this scene painfully emotionless.

El pelo de simba same as mufasa 😊

I thought simba fur Be in the wind just like in the original

KUŞ BILIR TÜYÜ KUŞ BILIR YUMŞA WI

The original was so much better Raffikis surprise and his halted speech then his joy as he exclaims “simba is … is alive!!” As he draws the mane around his picture manically laughing in disbelief , it’s just magical you can feel his emotions as he process each one and I smile with him every time I watch it. This version is so meh 😑

the question is why the area of ​the Pride land is so well-kept grass and wogule and simba how suddenly the wilderness returns and this is the difference of 2 days, I guess

I felt none of that! Which is sad 😢

Elasmotherium

Simba is Alive.

There are no feelings in it.. sad

C'mon guys, this ain't a bad movie. I actually liked both! You can't deny this was a good movie. It's live action, not cartoonish, obviously won't look the same as the older one.

Krusty the clown emoji.

0:16 All the way to Pride land

hair sample recognition by baboons should not be recognized in the court of law... just sayin

Nope. Needed the 'it is time' line

It is time

they messed this up so bad
