Why did Don Hahn make the movie Lion King?

They remade the movie because it was such a hit. They thought they could make more money on it and make it more enjoyable for people by making it in 3d and blue ray. I personally do not think they need to do that, but people are always trying to make money.

Actually:

The Lion King new release is not a remake, it is a reformatting of the old film.

Did The Lion King copy Kimba The White Lion?

Some scenarios and characters are very similar, to the point of being mirrored. However, the storylines are completely different.

Disney claims all similarities are coincidental, but there are more than enough to consider copying a legitimate claim.

Is there a new Lion King?

No, there is no such movie titled Lion King 1.

Obviously the first Lion King film is titled [naturally] The Lion King.

There was a made-for-dvd film featuring Timon & Pumbaa titledThe Lion King 1½ which shows what happened w/ Timon & Pumbaa during the events in The Lion King.

What is Timon and Pumbaa's motto?

Hakuna Matata

Kudos to you for liking Lion King :)

Biblical allusion in The Lion King?

  • One Biblical allusion in The Lion King is that the entire movie is an entire allusion to the story of Moses. Simba and Moses, who were both princes, were exiled when accused of murder. While exiled, they grow to maturity until told by Mufasa/God to return to their homeland. Finally, they free their people from oppression by Scar/Pharoah.
  • Rafiki says "You see, he [Mufasa] lives in you." Since Mufasa is representing God in the film, Mufasa lives in the heart of Simba while God lives in the hearts of Christians.
  • Mufasa died to save Simba from the wildebeest stampede like Jesus died to save people from hell.
  • The Good Samitarian helps an injured traveler like Timon and Pumbaa helps an exhausted Simba.
  • Rafiki anoints baby Simba at the beginning of the film like a priest/pastor anoints a baby after being born.

The Lion King is filled with several Biblical allusions since the filmmakers claim to have been inspired to the Joseph and Moses stories from the Bible. Hope this helps!

What are the conflicts of the Lion King movie?

The story is about a king lion, named Mufasa, who has a son who, when he grows up, will be the new king. A wise old baboon, Rafiki, holds the cub high. Time passes and the infant is a playful cub. Simba, the cub, can't wait to be king. On the other hand, Scar, Mufasa's younger brother, wants to be king and take over the Pridelands. (Firstborn is the king.) He and his stupid hyena henchmen, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, think up plans to kill Mufasa and Simba. Scar tricks Simba, his best friend Nala, and Zazu (the bird majordomo) into going beyond the boundaries, where they meet the hyenas. They get chased until Mufasa comes and scares them away. Scar thinks up another plan which is no escape for Simba or Mufasa, scaring a huge wildebeest herd! Mufasa saves Simba from his death but the hyenas and Scar successfully kill Mufasa, which upsets Sarabi, his mate, very much. Scar orders his hyenas to chase Simba and kill him, but Simba escapes into sharp thornbushes. The stupid hyenas don't follow him. Simba runs on the horizon to escape. Scar claims himself new king. Simba is left on the hot African plains where he faints, and is rescued by a meerkat named Timon and a warthog named Pumbaa. Simba is forced to eat bugs and grubs for meals. He accepts, but still thinks it's gruesome. After that, time passes, and he grows into a young lion. One day, Pumbaa is chased by a hungry young lioness and gets caught in a fallen tree root. Simba fights with the lioness, realizes it's Nala, his best friend. The lions rejoice, and soon fall in love. After that, Nala tells Simba that Scar has taken over the Pridelands and turned it gray and lifeless. (He has caught Zazu and trapped him in a ribcage.) Simba says he can't go back, but Nala insists. Simba gets mad and turns away from her. Rafiki, the wise mysical baboon follows Simba and shows him that his father lives in him. Simba goes back to the Pridelands to fight. Meanwhile, Timon, Pumbaa, and Nala hear from Rafiki, saying that the King has returned. They follow Simba into the Pridelands. Simba tells Timon and Pumbaa to distract the hyenas (there are thousands of them) and Nala to search for the lionesses. Simba looks for his uncle. He finds him and tells him to step down. Scar wants Simba to tell the lionesses who was responsible for Mufasa's death. Simba doesn't remember what really happened, so he claims that he killed his father. Scar said he admits it as a murderer. Simba said it was an accident. Scar ambushes Simba and has him dangle at the edge of a cliff, over flames. Scar whispers to Simba that he, himself, killed Mufasa. The memory soon comes back to Simba. He gathers his strength and knocks Scar down. He insists that Scar tells the truth. Scar does, and the lionesses rush toward the hyenas and fight. Simba is covered in biting hyenas. After he frees himself, he looks for his uncle. He chases him up a cliff and fights with him. He hurtles Scar over the edge, where he is killed by his hyenas. (They misheard him because he called them family, but they heard it enemy.) The rains wash away the fire. Zazu was freed by Timon and Pumbaa. Simba is claimed to king, with Queen Nala. Rafiki holds their cub up high, just like Simba.

Is the lion king overrated?

If we are talking about the 2019 remake the answer is yes. Other than the advancement to photorealistic computer animation the film was pretty much exactly the same as the original, and added nothing of import to the plot. The perfection of the animation added a special case of "the uncanny valley" phenomenon to the remake. While the nature scenes themselves were exceptional, the dialogues and apparent humanity of the animals involved were exceptionally disconcerting.

Why has Season 4 of 'Highway to Heaven' not been released on DVD?

Woodstock 1994 was released on a VHS format. You can find it at several online retailers. However, DVDs were not introduced until 1995. At the time of their release, they were competing with laser disc, so were not mainstream until a little while after. Woodstock 1994 was just a little short of being around when the DVD option was standard. That does not mean it will not be done in the future however. You will just have to keep your eyes open.
