I do think that James Earl Jones is very good at those "commanding" moments, but the Finnish Mufasa seems to have a slightly harsher tone in his voice, so if you're used to the Finnish version then maybe Jones doesn't seem quite as commanding in comparison. Jones seems better at the softer moments to me though; personally, I think the Finnish one still comes across as harsh during those moments.
On a side note, I see what you mean about the Finnish Scar being so eerie when he delivers his version of "run away and never return". I remember you mentioning that on Fanpop a while back (about how well he says that line), but hadn't seen it until now!

Some of these conspiracies have actually put me off of putting my own fanfiction and fan comics on the internet. I've just got this horrible feeling that as soon as I post anything, I'm going to be spammed with comments telling me I'm "wrong" about... well, my own imagination. Which is weird, but sure to happen!
This isn't the only fandom I'm a part of that does this. I know of quite a few other fandoms in which minor characters, background characters and even 100% fan-made characters get given mainstream identities and are always treated the same in everyone's fanfiction. Even though that sort of thing still restricts peoples' imaginations, they don't bother me as much, and I think it's because: 1) Everyone is aware their identities are fan-made and they don't get claimed as being official/canon. 2) They aren't traumatising or offensive.
One of the things you mentioned is something that's sort of bothered me for a while - people claiming that Zira's cubs aren't really her cubs! I don't remember there being any point in the movie that suggested that to me. I find it especially upsetting when people suggest that Nala is Vitani's mother, and abandoned her. Who would Nala have had a cub with before Simba? And why on earth would she have abandoned her own child? Not only is it illogical, but I think it's also quite offensive towards Nala's character.
Personally, I quite like the idea of all of Zira's cubs having the same father. I know a lot of people say that they think Scar is Nuka's father, but that's something else I find a little hard to believe. For one thing, I find it difficult to believe that, if Scar had a son of his own, he'd have chosen Kovu to be the next king instead. Also I think it's a little strange that Zira would have a cub with Scar, then be with a different lion (the father of Vitani and Kovu) and then go back to Scar again. I know it could have happened, but I must admit I do prefer the idea of her having all three cubs with a different lion, and then becoming interested in Scar.
That's the first time I've ever heard about that Kopa/Kovu theory though. Yikes.
Heh, I just followed the link to the DeviantArt page, but it looks like many of the people that commented didn't quite grasp the message. Some people are treating it like it's a "Lion King is overrated" stamp. Still, that might just mean that they've managed to dodge the conspiracies so far!

Kind of.
Basically, I wondered what gender the cub was - but only as much as I wondered what the cub's personality and life would be like too. So it's not really as though it's gender was my first concern about the cub, it was one of the many things I wondered about it.
I was another one who was quite young when I first saw the film (I was seven) and at that age I didn't think too hard about things like that. But I didn't completely ignore it either. I do remember really looking forward to seeing Simba's Pride when it was first announced in the UK though, and that was mostly because I wanted to find out more about Simba's cub and what their life would be like. That said, I can live with or without the sequel. It's cool that they created a movie about Simba being the king and raising a cub, but the original film is wonderful on its own too.
So that's what I mean by "kind of". I was interested in finding out the cub's gender, but I don't think it would have mattered to me too much if I had never found out.

If Scar was the rightful king, I expect his reigning parent would have trained him to become a good king throughout his life, the way we saw Mufasa start to do with Simba (and undoubtedly would've done if he hadn't died suddenly). I expect Mufasa went under the same kind of training before his reign. Whether or not Scar did too is unknown; I think he should have done since it was unknown to them that Mufasa would definitely have a cub, but if he was trained them his training may not have been as serious (or maybe Mufasa was expected to continue his training once he was king). Should this be the case, then I'd like to think Scar would have turned out to be a somewhat better king (even if he did still end up less responsible than Mufasa as a king). I also had a feeling that, in the film, it was the hyenas who caused the lionesses to overhunt, which was how the Pridelands became destroyed? I'll have to check that information, but if that's the case I think that would change too... If Scar was king then I don't think he would actually have an army of hyenas. I don't know how he first befriended them in the film, but thought it might have something to do with the fact that he had a need for power and the rest of the pride followed his brother, not him. That may not be true though; perhaps there was another reason why he would hang out with them and being king might not have stopped this. But basically, if he had a pride of lionesses then he may have not bothered with hyenas too. Whether or not the Pridelands ended up getting destroyed, I would still like to think that Scar was naturally very power-hungry. Sure, maybe it's normal for princes to feel a bit jealous when their brother's the king, and sure, he would've been disappointed when Simba's birth meant he was no longer next in line. But even so, to go as far as killing Mufasa and banishing Simba suggests that there's definitely something not right about him! I don't think Mufasa would've been like that. I imagine he would have been more supportive of Scar during his reign. Maybe he too would have felt a bit of jealousy if Scar had a cub, but even if he did then certainly not enough to commit a crime. During Scar's reign (in the film) he was shown to just enjoy the power and glory, and didn't care about his responsibilities. So if he had a cub I doubt he would have done a very good job training them up. Of course, like I said earlier if Scar himself received the right training he may have been a better king anyway, so his cub's training may depend on his own training. In this alternate version, I would still like to think that Simba's parents are still Mufasa and Sarabi. But I also think that, as a king, Scar would have been likely to end up with a mate and cubs too. Somehow, I think it would've been easier for him to find a mate if he'd been king all along! This would have made Simba the cousin to the heir of the throne. In the canon world, he acted a bit like the lion version of a typical "rich kid" in places. Still part of the royal family, he may be a little like this in the alternate universe too, though not quite as much. Scar's cub, however, I imagine to be very snobby and irresponsible, taking their luxuries for granted. And perhaps Mufasa would have stepped in and attempted to teach Scar's cub how to be a good monarch. Perhaps eventually this cub would change, start to look up to Mufasa instead of Scar, and Scar would start to feel jealous, thinking that Mufasa is trying to "steal" his cub away from him. Or it could go in another direction. Maybe Scar trains this cub to be a fighter and how to take control of the pride. Perhaps eventually, when both Mufasa and Scar are old and Scar decides to resign as king, the pride get into a fight, debating that Simba should be the new king, instead of letting Scar's child take the throne. The two candidates could battle each other for the throne. Or maybe another direction: during Scar's reign, Mufasa decides that Scar fails at being king, takes Sarabi and Simba and start off their own pride. Except I think it would probably be out of character for Mufasa to abandon Scar like that, and would hope he'd be more likely to help him and his cub than this! Well, that's a few of my ideas. It is an interesting topic though. I like "alternate universe" theories. ;D

Nuka
May 18, 2011 14:42:53 GMT 2
Post by Gemma on May 18, 2011 14:42:53 GMT 2
I always wished that Nuka didn't die. I mean, I understand why they did it as it had an impact on the storyline, but he was one of those characters who I felt needed a bigger role just because he seemed really interesting and I wanted to know more about him!
I also often wonder what he would have been like if he'd been alive in the final battle. I think he would have been feeling very conflicted when the outlanders turned against Zira. On one hand, I find it hard to believe that he was truly evil, but on the other hand he was very dedicated to making his mother proud.

This seems to make a lot of sense. There are just a few little things I'm wondering about: Could semi-canon/sub-canon refer to content that was created by the original film makers, but not used in the film? Such as Mheetu and the other characters that were discarded during preproduction? I was a little unclear on the meaning of that one. At first I wasn't sure about the difference between "official" and "semi-official", but I think I might have it now! Is "official" referring to anything approved by Disney that is involved in the movie universe (e.g. Kiara) while "semi-official" refers to anything approved by Disney that is ignored in the movie universe (e.g. Kopa, and anything considered "official fanfiction")? Also: "The Lion King 1½: Hakuna Matata" can't be counted as part of the official storyline because it's a parody and not a prequel. Does this go for the whole movie, or just the parody scenes? I've noticed that people generally seem to accept certain aspects of this movie as official (such as Timon's family, and some of the events that happen before Simba is born). So when it comes to the parts that don't conflict with the original movie, I was wondering where they stand? Haha, well that was more than I was expecting to write! So much for wondering about "a few little things". XD

I'll add the pictures at various later dates, whenever I can! But for now, I'll just list everything I can remember... -The Lion King on VHS -TLK2: Simba's Pride on VHS -TLK3: Hakuna Matata on DVD -The Lion King Collection on CD -The Lion King video game (the 2D platformer, I have it for Amiga and DOS) -Simba & Nala pin badge -Simba mug -TLK on Broadway keyring -A few more pin badges I collected at DisneyWorld (Young Simba, Young Nala, Timon) -A2 laminated poster of Simba, Timon & Pumbaa -Simba's Pride bed sheets (turns out I'm not the only one here with Lion King bed sheets!) -Young Simba action figure -And I KNOW I've got some Lion King stickers somewhere! -Nala plushie with magnetic nose (my brother and I got "kissing Simba and Nala" plushies for Christmas back when the film first came out, he got the Simba one and I got the Nala one) -Kiara beanbag plush -"Poseable" plushies of Kiara, Timon and Pumbaa (they have velcro on their paws) -Simba's Pride plushies from McDonald's (Simba, Kovu, Pumbaa... maybe some others too but I'll have to find them and check!) -Simba plushie (from DisneyWorld) -Nala beanbag plush (also from DisneyWorld) -Kiara plushie that "purrs" I had a TLK advent calendar one year when I was a kid, but don't think I saved it. I also had a Simba's Pride stationary set (a ring binder and some notebooks with pictures of Kiara and Kovu on) but am not sure if I still have those. I probably ruined them at some point while using them! And yes, apparently I used to collect plushies.

Zira
Apr 21, 2011 21:47:23 GMT 2
Post by Gemma on Apr 21, 2011 21:47:23 GMT 2
That's an interesting find. True that it doesn't really make sense to canon though.
Also, whoever wrote that at disney.go.com seems to have forgotten that if Zira is Scar's sister, then she is also Mufasa's sister. That makes her Simba's aunt, and that would mean Kovu and Simba are cousins. Which brings us back to the idea that Kiara and Kovu are related, which is something the film makers made sure they avoided (making the characters claim that "Scar wasn't Kovu's dad" a number of times).
They've also written that at the end of the first film, Simba banished Scar's sister-in-law, Sarabi (or, as they've written it, "Serabi"), without mentioning that Sarabi is actually Simba's mother. It definitely sounds like they've forgotten Scar is Simba's uncle, or maybe they don't realize that Mufasa is Simba's father!
Even though it can't be taken seriously, I must credit them for their originality. That's the most unique theory I've heard about Zira yet!
Anyway, going back to Kieran's description, I think it's interesting how you've mentioned that she may have never actually been Scar's mate as such. I recall there being hints in the film that she had romantic feelings for him, but these could have just been projections of her fangirlism rather than real romance.
Also, is it ever mentioned in the movie if any of Zira's children are Scar's? I know a lot of fans theorize that Nuka may have been Scar's, and possibly Vitani, but I don't remember either character ever calling him "dad" in the movie.
//I only edited the username reference to be to my new username, to avoid confusion. -Kieran (admin)//

I don't exactly "wish" Simba had had a son instead of a daughter, but I do like to think about what the story would have been like if this had been the case.
A lot of fans tend to summarize that it wouldn't have been a big deal; Simba's son would have fallen in love with Vitani and from then on the story would be pretty much the same. But I find it more interesting, personally, that Simba's child fell for the lion that had been trained to kill Simba and take over the pride, rather than just a relative to that lion.
If "Simba's son" and Vitani were the Romeo & Juliet of the story, I expect they would have ended up making Kovu's character more villainous, rather than the trained-to-be-evil but truly nice character he really was. But then his character wouldn't have been as interesting.
However, if Vitani had been given a more important role in the story then the film makers would have expanded on her character. That's something I would have been interested in, as I always thought she was fascinating but the film makers could have done more with her (basically, I always felt like I wanted to know more about her). Even so, I don't think they needed to make her the Juliet of the film to do so.
I got the impression that, at the end of SP Kiara and Kovu are still younger than Simba and Nala were by the end of the first movie (or Kiara at least; Kovu's quite a bit older than her). So I thought it might be nice that, if they decided to make another sequel that followed the story of yet another royal cub, maybe Simba and Nala should have another child instead of Kiara and Kovu having one just yet. That would make the plot a *little* less repetitive! I think it'd be nice to have a movie focusing on just the cub's childhood too, if they can come up with a good storyline, rather than the repetitive "cub is born, becomes a child, grows up, falls in love, gets involved in a battle of some sort, villain dies, the end" format used for the first 2 movies.
The real reason I doubt there will be another sequel though is because they've run out of villains. There are ways around it I guess (by bringing back the hyenas, or introducing a new bad guy), but it might be challenging coming up with a deep and clever background story for the new villain. Still, I guess it can be done!

Cool! That song would have fitted in nicely with the movie, plus the melody of the song had already been written. I'm not sure how the Swahili version translates (if it's more or less the same as the one in the Broadway musical) but I do like that idea. I think I would have written in an extra scene during Simba's childhood. It would take place somewhere after Mufasa has shown Simba the Pridelands ("everything the light touches is our kingdom") but before Simba has gone to Scar and been told about the elephant graveyard. Scar will, however, be in the scene though. The story itself wouldn't be anything epic; knowing he needs to get rid of Simba, Scar would set up a trap in the Pridelands, which Simba walks right into. However, something unsuspected goes wrong, something non-lethal yet somewhat irritating happens to Scar, while Simba is left unharmed without ever finding out Scar is nearby. The scene ends with Scar escaping from this trap, and collapsing exhausted under the rock where Simba finds him, and we return to the existing part of the movie. My main reason for adding in this scene is because, the first few times I saw the movie I remember wishing we got to see more of Simba's childhood. Another reason is because, in media things usually happen in threes. So if I were to add in a scene in Simba's childhood, I think it should have something to do with Scar attempting to kill Simba. In the film, despite him not killing Simba as such, it is his second attempt that is successful. So I think that if another attempt is added somewhere, it would obviously not change the storyline at all and would not make the scene itself feel unneeded. The purpose of this scene is that it suggests Scar cannot get rid of Simba alone. This leads to the second attempt; at the elephant graveyard where the hyenas are introduced. Obviously, Simba and Scar are the key characters in this scene. I would also like to include (if this is allowed!) some of the characters that originally got cut during the preproduction stage; Bhati the bat-eared fox, Iggy the reptile (probably an iguana) and Tesma, who is possibly an otter of some sort. I don't think Mheetu would be in this scene because, from what I understand, the film makers did not intend on him being born at this point in the story. I also wouldn't include the cape dogs, because they would be unnecessary for this scene (it's very possible that the reason they didn't make it into the production stage was because they were replaced by the hyenas, anyway). But Bhati, Iggy and Tesma were all originally designed to be Simba's childhood friends, so he could be telling them about what Mufasa has just told him. I think Nala could easily fit into this scene too; the only problem is that this scene is before she's been introduced, and it's not long after when she is. So would that be too soon? Wow. A lot of words and not enough description. I might actually try storyboarding this imaginary scene someday, as I kind of know what I have in mind but am having trouble explaining it! But overall, it'd be a somewhat dark yet also somewhat comical scene about Simba's childhood and Scar's evil plans.

It would be interesting to find out more about her story. I like what they did with her character in the Broadway musical, but it would be nice to hear it from those who worked on the first film.

Vitani
Feb 15, 2011 20:27:29 GMT 2
Post by Gemma on Feb 15, 2011 20:27:29 GMT 2
I think Vitani is my favourite character out of those introduced in SP; that said, I was never completely sure why either! I mean, I thought she seemed like a fun character, though she played such a minor role we didn't see that much of her at all. But at the end of the film, I'd wished they had done more with her character.
Personally, I saw her as a feisty, troublesome cub that got along pretty well with Kovu. She appeared to get somewhat pushed aside by Nuka, but was capable of defending herself. She was certainly much more enthusiastic about Kovu becoming King than Nuka was. By the time she had grown up, she seemed to be a bit more dominant over Nuka. In some scenes her personality seemed almost identical to that of Zira's, but of course the most noticeable difference was when she was the first outlander to stop following Zira's demands.
Even though I liked her, I have to admit I was still surprised at the impact she had on the rest of the fandom. There must be something fascinating about her, for such a minor character to become so immensely popular like that. Like I said, I never quite figured out what it was that fascinated me so much about her. I'll let you know when I get there!

1.) How old were you when you first saw the original film?7 2.) What was your favoirite aspect of the original TLK movie when you first saw it?I think either the songs or the character design. I loved all the songs, and felt close to many of the characters after watching the film just once. 3.) Has it changed during the years?I am still fond of the songs and the characters, but I think as I got older I began to appreciate other aspects equally. These include the quality of the animation, emotion and depth of storytelling. 4.) Would you have gone to see SP in theaters if it had hit them?Admittedly I rarely see movies in theaters (I usually wait for the DVD release or for it to be on TV). But I think in this case I would have made the effort, seeing as how much I loved the first movie. 5.) Your current favourite scene in the original film?For some reason, I have recently been appreciating the opening scene more than usual. 6.) Your favourite TLK merchandise out of those you own?The 15 inch Simba plushie I bought in DisneyWorld in 2004. 7.) Your current favourite quote from the original film?"But you're not scared of anything!" "I was today. I thought I might lose you." 8.) Your current favourite quote from SP?"Nobody move, this thing's loaded! I'll let ya have it!" 9.) Do you think Timon and Pumbaa are over-rated?Not so much amongst the fandom, but I think Disney studios overrate them sometimes. 10.) Do you think TLK is the best of Disney classic '90's? If no, which film is better?It's my absolute favourite Disney film of all time. 11.) Your current three favourite smilies out of the current ones on this forum?Random! But okay then. ;D 12.) Your favourite line from Scar?"I'm surrounded by idiots." 13.) Original or extended Morning Report?Definitely extended. 14.) They intented to have cub Simba tell Timon and Pumbaa that his father is dead and that it's all his fault, when they asked what he'd done & Timon then say 'Wow, you do have a dark past.' Which prefered: That, or the way his past remains a secret in the film?Much better the way it is in the film. I like how Simba keeps his whole life a secret from Timon and Pumbaa, right up until he reunites with Nala, and from then on everything else slowly unfolds. There's also that scene when they're looking at the stars and wondering what they are, and Simba starts to tell them what Mufasa told him, and when he gets upset and walks away Timon and Pumbaa don't really know why. 15.) Three essential ways the original film affected your life / Did TLK somehow change your life?-The Lion King had quite a big impact on my decision to become a professional animator. I was very inspired by it at a young age, and stuck with it. -I became interested in Shakespeare plays at quite a young age. Come to think of it, SP probably had a bit of impact on that one too! -The songs from the original film played a big part in my childhood, along with all my schoolfriends. We used to all obsess over them and sing them during school hours and drive our teachers insane. (except for the teachers that actually joined it with us) Good memories!

Ah, nice answers! Will try answering them myself now... Your age?22 1. How did you first get a contact with The Lion King?I started with a book (one of the ones that literally tells the story of the film). My brother also had a Disney Sing-Along-Songs video that had 2 of the Lion King songs on (Circle of Life and Can't Wait To Be King). Sadly I never did get to see it in the theater, but my dad went out and bought the VHS the day it was released! We watched it that very afternoon. 2. Have you internalized anything from the characters, into your life?I don't think so. 3. Your favorite character?Good question. I have quite a few favourite characters - Simba, Nala, Timon, the hyenas - all for different reasons. Please don't make me choose! 4. Do you know who sings 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'? (the original singer)Not in person! But I am familiar with his work. 5. Can you compare yourself to the characters in the film?I can relate to some of the characters, yes. I don't think there is any one particular character I have a lot in common with, but I am able to make a connection to quite a lot of them at different times. 6. Did you go see The Lion King when it first hit the theatres?No. 7. How has The Lion King influenced your life?I think it played quite a crucial role in inspiring me to become a professional animator. A lot of things inspired me really, but whenever someone asks me what my influences are, The Lion King is always one of the first to spring to my mind. 8. Have you heard that it's possible to make The Lion King 4?Yes, of course it is possible! Whether or not it will happen is another question, as is where the storyline would go next. 9. Is The Lion King a children's film, in your opinion?I think it is a good film for children to watch. But it's certainly not just a children's film; it can reach a universal audience and I actually think I appreciate it a whole lot more now than I did as a 7-year-old. There are certain parts of the film I actually remember getting scared at when I was a kid (though I was like that with most Disney movies) but overall I think all ages can appreciate it. I think calling it a family film would be quite appropriate. 10. The best moment in The Lion King?Again, don't make me choose! But some of my favourite "epic" moments were: the opening scene, the scene with Mufasa and Simba following the elephant graveyard, Mufasa's death, Mufasa's ghost appearing in the sky, the battle between Simba and Scar, and the ending. When I was a kid I remember looking forward to the light-hearted, fun scenes, which I considered to be the songs "Can't Wait To Be King" and "Hakuna Matata". 11. Do you own The Lion King merchandise, that you think is not-so-common stuff?Not really. I have Lion King plushies, posters, keychains, stationary and a coffee mug, but nothing that is really out of the ordinary. 12. What is the topmost thing in your memory, from the film?Difficult to say, because I watched the movie so much as a kid I pretty much ended up memorizing every part of the movie! But I think the opening scene "Circle of Life" is quite a prominent memory. It was such an exciting and heartwarming way to begin the story. 13. The best The Lion King movie?Gotta be the first. I just think it's so amazing for a variety of reasons. But I think Simba's Pride is one of my favourite Disney sequels, and the third movie - despite being a non-serious parody - is also enjoyable and good for a laugh. They all have their merits, but nothing can beat the first movie for me. 14. Do you visit other The Lion King sites?I go on The Lion King Archive quite a lot - have been for about a decade. I joined the Fan Art Archive a few years back too, but haven't logged in there for a long time. Other than that, I also visit The Lion King Source (the sister site to Balto Source) from time to time, and am fairly active on many of the Lion King fanclubs on Fanpop. 15. How many times did you watch The Lion King last year, (2010)?I don't think I did. Now I'm ashamed! I should watch it. Soon. 16. How long have you bee a fan?Hm. I kind of got into it before actually seeing the film, from the book and the Sing-Along-Songs tape. But really I don't think I considered myself to be a fan until I had actually seen the film for myself, so since 1995. 17. What would you want to change in the film's storyline?To be honest, nothing. However, I did recently hear a theory someone else had about Scar escaping from the hyenas and planning on revenge, which I thought was an interesting idea. I don't believe it is what happened, but it was a cool alternate idea that I think would at least be worthy of a fanfic. 18. Did Mufasa's death move you?Yes. Always did, probably always will. 19. Could you call yourself an active fan, and why so?Probably not yet. I have never lost interest in The Lion King, I can confirm that. But I am not always active in the fandom as such. I would like to be a more dedicated fan though, I'm working on it! 20. Was Scar's fate justice, in your opinion? What punnishment would you have recommended?It wasn't a pleasant way to go, but I think it was fair. I don't really have any alternate suggestions for a punishment.

Hi!
Feb 15, 2011 15:53:53 GMT 2
Post by Gemma on Feb 15, 2011 15:53:53 GMT 2
Thanks for the welcome! My favourite sitcom right now is Two and a Half Men. As for fantasy novels, I love the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. One of my favourites from the series is Going Postal. I missed out on the C64, but I did used to have an Atari and a few Amiga computers. The Atari wasn't so great, but the Amiga was pretty awesome. I used to play a lot of platformers, some of which I still enjoy today, but I also love point and click adventure games (such as Monkey Island). I like some of the newer adventure games too. Hehe, I didn't have any Mario games myself but I remember playing them over at my friend's house. Good times, good times.
