“When you forget you’re watching hand-drawn artwork, it’s quite a magical thing.” “We were talking about how to it so that people would be transported in a way that they hadn’t been transported in an animated feature before,” the movie’s artistic supervisor, Daniel St.

Over three years, its creators faced numerous obstacles but combined to produce a morality play that popped with distinct, hand-drawn African themes, ultimately becoming a technical and philosophical feat. Thanks to an underdog team of animators, the movie told an engrossing story without the safety of source material-the first time in Walt Disney Animation Studios history. The new version, now in theaters, captures a stunning authenticity, while simultaneously making many viewers nostalgic for the original animated feature’s colorful, expressive, and emotional artwork.

Filmmakers later realized it made more sense to have Scar sing a song about what he was planning to do before it happened, rather than commenting on his plan after it had been put into motion.Six months before The Lion King hit theaters in 1994, producers used this prologue for the movie’s first trailer, a genius tactic used 25 years later for Disney’s photorealistic remake. Titled 'Thanks To Me,' it had Scar singing all the ways the Pride Lands were better 'thanks to' his new reign. Though its melody was the same as the song we know today, its lyrics were completely different. In an audio commentary track for 'The Lion King,' producer Don Hahn shares that 'Be Prepared,' the movie's big villain song, originally came after Mufasa's death. The song was recorded by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, and included on the 1995 album ' Rhythm of the Pride Lands.' Then nearly a decade later, Vulture shares that the creative team making 2004's direct-to-DVD film 'The Lion King 1 ½' invited Rice to write new lyrics to John's melody of 'Warthog Rhapsody' that could be used as a song for Timon, 'That's All I Need,' in the new movie. Though it was ultimately removed from the film, 'Warthog Rhapsody' went on to have a unique shelf life.
