Fun fact: lion cubs have faded spots when they are born that disappear as they get older. (A fact i feel like it may not have been known fact before the movie's original release; if it was known it probably would've confused most people for the cub to be lightly spotted and the parents not).
When i first watched this movie, i would sing and every song in it, including the backround choir and instrumentation. That scene that simba makes his way to pride rock would be the scene i would never forget, it was so strong i couldn't even look away from the screen. I was 6 or 7 at the time and now I'm a freshman musician and started playing orchestra fir a total of 3-4 years. I recently played at Disneyland on the performing arts stage, this classic has certainly changed my life in many ways i can't describe
When SIMBA rises up as the true king. That scene made me fall in love with this movie. I really wish there was a series with simba's life after that and before having his kids.
This whole progression is probably some of the best writing Hans Zimmer has ever done. Put all the cool sound engineering he does and the giant layered brass he does in most of his movies and just listen to the way the themes progress and modulate. It tells a story so effectively all by itself, plus the first 2/3rds of the song is a flipping Rondo!! That’s so cool!
@@GamingFanactic911 Ugh, Giacchino is my least favourite composer out there. It's actually been three times now that I'm watching a film and the music is so gratingly banal or glaringly out of place that I look up the composer afterwards and it has been him! How you can call him better than Zimmer and even mention him alongside Williams is beyond me. But, oh well, horses for courses I guess :)
3:20 - Simba returns from defeating Scar. Zazu bows, mouths the words "Your Majesty" as the lionesses all surround him, with Sarabi and Nala in the lead. 3:52 - Rafiki shakes his staff. Simba approaches. Rafiki motions for Simba to come forward. Simba embraces him in a hug. 4:15 - "It is time." 4:21 - Simba ascends Pride Rock. He sees the rain water wash away a skull, washing away the pain and sorrows of the past. 4:45 - "REMEMBER!" 4:50 - Simba claims his rightful place.
@@TheColdPatrol the story is very similar , both inspired of hamelet,and lions, but disney did what they do best, take a plot and transform in a legend, cuz what make lion king the lion king is not the lion/hamelet stuff, but something much more than that, the diference are the lines, what they show to us and teach us, is not like that in kimba, lion king is not just the hamelet plot, is about the problens in life, facing them learning with them, family, friends losts, finding yourself, or refinding yourself, this lines are amazing developed and what they teach us is the real soul of the movie, and of course the caracters personalitys are very diferent more developed and profund ,and the song are diferent and beautifull also showing the soul of the movie too. Lion king has much more caracters/ song/plot/ lines developement, what it makes especial, memorable, and most of all a life leason for all people.
Walt would have given it a standing ovation and if Walt would have been alive, there would have been a push to win Best Picture because that's what it would have deserved
king of pride rock has to be one of the best scores hans zimmer has ever made,....takes me back every time!!!...classic disney and a time when cartoons actually had meaning..
4:20 SOMEBODY HELP. I'VE BEEN HIT BY A TIDAL WAVE OF NOSTALGIA! But seriously this part of the song was the FIRST TIME i've experienced an amazing sound in my life! When I was 4 I heard this part and It stuck with my whole life! I'm choking up right now :')
I love how it starts off so deep, dark. The scene with SImba and Mufasa, you can see the shame Simba feels when walking towards his father. This theme is perfect in that specific moment. What a powerful impact this movie has had on me
oh my god, i just had this on as background music while I had another tab open - then, out of nowhere, right at 4:17 - I just randomly blurted out "It is time." I mean, I wasn't even listening to it, not really, had it on as background music ........
I watched the new lion king and it will never be as good as the original. Walt Disney would be super happy to see how many of us watch the original lion king and love it. Thank you Walt Disney
As a kid I loved hakuna matata. As a musician for the last 18 years.. this is now my favorite... The feelings it gives.. telling the story of the kings of pride rock.. so powerful and such a great composition.
Hans Zimmer is composing so let’s hope. But the end of this score is, in my opinion, THE definitive moment of the movie. Everything leads to the reclaiming of the throne and that roar. And Zimmer matched it perfectly. How heroic is the end of this piece from 4:21-4:51? Then it ends as it began, the circle of life and the stamp of authority as a Disney classic with the final bass drum booming with the title card. Yeah, Emma..I’m with you. I’m gonna be mad if this isn’t how it ends.
'And where the journey may lead me let your prayers be my guide I cannot stay here, my family But I'll remember my pride' 'And where the journey may lead you let this prayer be your guide Though it may take you so far away Always remember your pride'
One of the greatest of not the greatest animated scores ever!! At the time I didn't know it was Hans Zimmer! The whole album withstood the test of time ✨🎶🎧👌🌟🔥📽️🎭📺🥇⌛⏳🕰️
I just remembered that my high school graduation was 20 years the same month after this masterpiece of a movie came out. 3:20-5:59, definitely the way to go out
Greatest movie ever!!!!!!!!! why you ask!!!!!!!!!! because this movie learns you to never give up always fight for what is right and it learns you to believe in yourself and to have pride for who you are
I was listening to the theme from The Shining, or the "Dies irae," and I realized that I'd heard that melody before, only I couldn't remember where (I knew it was used in a bunch of other movies but not which ones specifically). Then suddenly it hit me: the end of The Lion King. And now that I've heard that Dies irae at 2:21I'll never be able to unhear it, lol. On a different note, everything after 4:12 never fails to give me chills, and has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. If The Lion King score is Hans Zimmer's masterpiece (and I'd ague it most definitely is; hell, the sole reason I went to see Lion King 2019 with my sister isn't because I thought it'd be anything other than hot garbage, but because I wanted to listen to this score in theater surround sound one more time), then that bit of music is the crown jewel. It's hard for me to think of any other piece that captures the same kind of awe-inspiring majesty and grandeur that a movie like this deserves.
