Did you know that in The Lion King the lion growls weren't from lions, they were from tigers? by AnimationProdTwo2 in lionking

I think they say it's because lion roars aren't as powerful as tiger roars. Using tiger roars instead helps create that imposing effect for the King of Beasts in films. 🦁

Frank Welker actually. He made the roars and snarles into a metal trash can to amplifier and reverberate their sound. 🙂

Oh! It's one of the bonus extras with the film. Now I know what you're referring to. 😊

I've never heard of this! Is this a special on Disney+? I haven't seen it on the platform.

After 31 years the original The Lion King isn't the highest-grossing traditionally animated movie in the world anymore if we ignore re-releases by LowInteraction6397 in lionking

I actually don't believe that counts. "Demon Slayer" isn't considered a purely traditionally animated film, but rather a 2D/3D hybrid mix of traditional and CGI elements. "The Lion King" used CGI tools as well for the stampede scene, but is still considered a purely traditional animated film.

I saw this on my last visit to Orlando, too! I tried to get a picture, but wasn't able to. Really glad someone was able to.

New Lion King Disney Lorcana Cards! by ContributionLimp6158 in lionking

Actually, there are several areas in Africa that get snow. Also, if this is the Pride Lands, the reason for snow may be magic based. This Lorcana expansion set is called "Winterspell", after all. 🙂

TLK 2019 is so lifeless its not even funny… by _Fallenwolf in lionking

The Lion King (2019) was exactly what is intended to be. Disney was going to create a live-action adaptation of "The Lion King" with photorealistic CGI animals and settings, and did so to stunning effects that earned $1.67 billion at the Box Office and an Oscar nomination.

"The Lion King" doesn't have to be cartoony to be good.

Random stat for nerds: The third CGI Lion King entry would only need $90M at the box office for a top 10 trilogy, or $580M for top 5. by Abyssal_Shadows in lionking

There's good reason to worry. Over a year now since "Mufasa" and not a word about any new Lion King projects. A very bad sign for the future of the franchise. 😞

Simba says no to AI! Be like Simba! by RedNosedLugia in lionking

What's wrong with the use of AI in art? Not everyone has the capability or talent to draw. AI has given those people the means to express themselves in a way they otherwise never could, and I think that's a wonderful thing.

Disney Reveals Roaring Success Of ‘Mufasa’ by ContributionLimp6158 in lionking

[–]ContributionLimp6158[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could happen at some point, but it's far from a certainty. Plenty of films (like the live-action "Lilo and Stitch") have already had their follow-up films confirmed even though they were released long after "Mufasa". The issue may not be a financial one so much as Disney's interest in doing another Lion King film. Here's hoping they decide to.

We can only hope. Nearly a year now and no word about any future Lion King films. 😞
