Is The Lion King's Legacy RUINED 30 Years Later...?

Or maybe Mufasa will define the Lion King franchise. What are your thoughts for the quality of that movie?

Happy 30th Anniversary, Lion King! I don't think that the movie's reputation is ruined, since it still holds up, and is as beloved as ever.

The original's legacy is still alive, the new live action stuff ain't canon in my eyes

The Lion King remake is just a remake. We can just forget about that one and stick with the original.

Did anyone find it odd that in the 2016 jungle book the animals have facial expressions but the lion king remake doesn’t

The nostalgia of rewatching lion king is unbeatable

YMS completely debunked the whole "Lion King ripped off of Kimba" thing. Seriously, go watch his video on it, it's incredibly well done!

Excited to see Zazu’s origin story in 2029 if this one succeeds.

i will always prefer their 2d hand-drawn expressive motion animation over any of their live actions

3:15 - don't you DARE diss Cinderella 3. It was a masterpiece before its time.

The Lion King's sequels weren't bad tbh

Somebody didn’t watch YMS kimba video 🥱

No, the legacy isn’t ruined, stop clickbaiting. Just because the live action stuff is bad, it doesn’t ruin the original 💀

Regardless, the 1994 Lion King is the highest grossing animated film of the twentieth century, and at the time I was eight years old. When I first saw the Lion King when it premiered, I was blown away, and I had seen all of the Disney renaissance films in the cinema, I saw this film with my mother, and my cousins, then a second time with my father and my best friend, at school, everyone had seen it too, and the Lion King was a big part of our interactions, then came the merchandising, and I still have some of this 90s merch. As for the Kimba plagiarism controversy, you are wrong Dazz, you are comparing an anime TV series, to a feature length animated film, if you have seen Kimba, you would know it's episodic, story arcs were not yet part of anime, so the themes and plots differ from episode to episode, so it's impossible for the Lion King to do something, not already covered by Kimba, for more information, I recommend watching Adum of YMS, he addresses the causes and the motivations behind the controversy, and debunks the arguments made by the "Kimba Crowd", similarities alone are not enough to prove plagiarism. In summary, Kimba acknowledges but does not honour Africa, the Lion King play homage and honours Africa, I would also like to recommend "Timon and Pumbaa" the Disney afternoon TV show, the Disney renaissance was also on the small screen too.

I like the old version better than the live action

Maybe Disney could save themselves if they actually listened to people and brought 2d back

8:20 this has already been debunked very thoroughly by a youtuber called YMS. Kimba fans were just salty

Woo, 30 years; 3 whole decades! Let that sink in your head for a few moments. 😅 But I don’t really think that its reputation’s really tainted, I’d say it still lives up to its name.

My twin bro said the "live action" version was better than the og animated one 😭😭😭

Kimba and The Lion King are very different. The only thing that's similar between the two are the fact that the protagonist is a lion. That's it
