Tangu siku sisi kufika katika dunia
Na blinking, hatua katika jua
Kuna zaidi ya kuona kuliko unaweza milele kuonekana
Zaidi ya kufanya ila anayeweza kufanywa
(From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done)

Kuna mno kuchukua katika hapa
Zaidi kupata kuliko hayawezi kupatikana
Lakini jua rolling juu
Njia ya anga yakuti
Anaendelea kubwa na ndogo juu ya pande zote kutokuwa na mwisho
(There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great...

THE LION KING 4: KOVU'S CHAOS PART 3

posted by lol12345678101

Kiara and Kovu sat down watching their little cub go farther and farther out of site. Kiara was remembering that she left her father and met Kovu. "Kovu remember us when we met." Kiara said. "That was the greatest day in my life!" Kovu exlaimed. Meanwhile Kidonah went somewhere unusual,away from the Pridelands. "Hi my name is Sheekra I am a rouge." A cub said. "Hey don't scare me like that!" Kidonah said. "Where are we anyway?" Kidonah asked. "Just a little far from the Outlands. But we are in between the Pridelands and the Outlands,there are no worries." Sheekra said.Out of nowhere Timon and...

The Lion King: A comparison of 3 versions of the story

posted by JungleQueen13

The Lion King 2019 remake has just been released, and now that I have seen it, I want to write my thoughts on it. This really can't be done without comparing it to the original, and given that I have also seen the Broadway musical, I feel that I may as well write a comparative review all three versions in this article.
Please be aware that this article may contain some spoilers for the new remake movie.

The Original: The Lion King (1994)

This is the version that virtually everyone is most familiar with. If you were a child growing up in the 90s, like myself, there is a good chance that it...

Mufasa's ghost - was he real and why not tell Simba the truth?

posted by bendaimmortal

I just stumbled over the seemingly popular interpretation that Mufasa's ghost was only in Simba's mind and that's why he didn't tell the truth about how he died. I was like 'Whaaaat?!' That never crossed my mind, in all these 15 years.

I guess it is kinda left up to the viewers interpretation in the film but Mufasa truly appearing to guide his son, fits the theme of the story much better than just Simba's imagination.

Rafiki had summoned him. You know Rafiki was able to do weird stuff, such as seeing that Simba is alive and where to find him, by doing something to the dust in the wind that had...

Some comments from fans of TLK who believe Fluffy (the cub in the ending of TLK) is Kopa

Kiara and Fluffy blend as one cub

Many annoying comments from fans who believe Kopa is Fluffy which isn't true.

Here are 10 different comments from them from Youtube:

1. "that can't be Kiara, in these movies the males are yellow and the females are beige-colored, and that baby is yellow."

2. "that's there first child Kopa....he is a boy and Kiara's older brother."

3. "ok at the end it is not Kiara it is Kopa before the making of the lion king 2 they changed it 2 Kiara instead of being it Kopa =3."

4. "I am not a fan of lion king, but still kopa is true!"

5. "the cub is not Kiara. It's supposed to be Simba's and Nala's son,...

Warning the following article has things including:

Spoilers and Opinion

If you haven't watched the movie I suggest leaving or if you've seen the movie but can't understand that people are entitled to their own opinion then I also suggest leaving.

Also if you see a word all in caps, I'm not yelling I'm just proving a point...

Enjoy :^)

I've watched the show, movie whatever with nervous expectations. I was worried that it may either rise the legendary franchise or destroy it almost instantly. After watching I have mix emotions, Happy, sad, furious, disappointed and other emotions.

Why the fact that Kion is a cub doesn't make any sense to me

posted by lionking1993

Ok, when I found out that Kiara is a cub in The Lion Guard I didn't like it. Don't get me wrong. I am trying to make myself get used to the idea that Kion is a cub, not to mention the same age as Kiara according to what Disney just said. Yes, he is the second born but maybe he was from the same litter (making kiara and kion twins). So yeah.. he was born after Kiara and as it turns out he is the same age as her (not a big fan of that either).
By the way yes he is the second born because -for the last time- there is no Kopa! :P
However! It makes scenes from the second movie not make any sense!...

Can You Feel The Love Tonight Lyrics

posted by tecna535

I can see what's happening.

What?

And they don't have a clue.

Who?

They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line:
Our trio's down to two.

Oh.

Ze sweet caress of twilight.
There's magic everywhere.
And with all this romantic atmosphere,
Disaster's in the air!

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things.

So many things to tell her,
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me.

He's holding back, he's hiding.
But what, I can't decide.
Why won't he be the king I know he is,
The king I see inside?...

Why I hate Kiara

posted by lionking1993

1. She does not listen to her parents when they tell her that the outlands are dangerous and that she should never go there, however she gets angry when her father doesn't trust her. How will he trust you if you keep being disobedient?

2. The fact that she knows nothing about self defence and sucks as a fighter (I assume) doesn't stop her from going to the outlands. (I'm talking about the teenager Kiara who "can" think logically). Why would you go to a dangerous place when you can't protect yourself in the first place? Pretty much everyone can outmatch her.

3. After the ambush, when Simba was...

The Lion King (2019) Review

posted by SentinelPrime89

What to say about this one? Did we need it? Did we ask for it? Not really.

But I watched it finally and now I can say... it was OK. The visual effects here are phenomenal just like Favreau’s previous take at The Jungle Book. There’s also rare little moments of fresh storytelling that help differ this movie from the original, even if only about ten or twenty minutes worth.

I also had several problems. Like I said above, there are a few moments that differ but overall this is the exact same story from scene to scene just about. That includes many lines of dialogue taken straight from the superior...

Lion king Should be Rated R

At the bottom of the hill...

Following includes:
Opinion and language

We all saw when Simba and Nala rolled down the hill right? Well thats the thing. It looked as if Walt diseney puts secret things inside the movie but no one even notices.

Was Nala actually in heat? Well I think so because her eyes tell the whole story and sex is written all over simba. On Fan fiction they make simba more drunk and Nala is grumpy and shes the one I would Think I'm ok with. She's usually more entergetic tho.

Why I dislike the Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

posted by deedragongirl

The four.

Hi guys, I just downloaded this movie a few months ago after not seeing it in many years. There are certain things that I dislike that I would like to write it down here, so here we go.

The Story-line

The story was borrowed from another Shakespeare classic, Romeo and Juliet. While I think they kept the Shakespearean tradition going on, I personally felt that they should be more original towards the story. The movie also left me a number of unanswered questions that I'm going to voice out.
Worse of all, they never explain how the Outlanders were banish as they were never introduce in the first...

THE LION KING 4: KOVU'S CHAOS PART 1

posted by lol12345678101

It was a sweet warm day in the Pridelands. Everything seemed just right."Kovu have you seen Kopa?" Kiara said. "No,and we still have not figured who will be king." "We have voted it with the lionesses and it was equal it can be possible that you both will be king." Kiara said. " That looks fair I think we should try it and see how it goes."Kovu said."Hey you guys. I need to tell you something......Vitani is pregnant!" Kopa said. "Kopa congrats! So are we!" Kiara said. 9 months later. It was going well with Kovu and Kopa being king. There was a slight scream by the gorge. "Kiara and Vitani are down there! Simba said. They ran as fast as they could! It wasn't what they thought happened,Kiara and Vitani had their babies. "Kiara what should we name him?" Kovu said "Kodonah,Kodonah it sounds right.

Little Known facts

posted by Okami_Amaterasu

When the film was released there was a stir in Japan. The film was very similar to the well known anime series 'Kimba the White Lion'. First there is the obvious similarity in names (Simba and Kimba). Also, both had a baboon as a shaman. But the similarities don't end there, both had an evil uncle - 'Scar' in the movie and 'Claw' in the series - as well as henchman hyenas. Plus a pose by a king on a rock. The possible lawsuit was dropped, because Osamu Tezuka's (the producer's) widow said that he would have been flattered that Disney was inspired by the series.

The film's original opening was...

Chapter 3 – A Big Cat’s Sense

“So… How are you feeling, Timon?” asked Nala in a friendly manner, but with a slight smirk on her face. Timon looked pretty darn beaten and bruised after being the target for the two lionesses’ hunting practices the day before. “I’m doing just great!” he said sarcastically and angrily, as he walked along the forest floor weakly, “I’m glad that I could help you ladies with all your hunting exercises!” “Come on, Timon. It wasn’t that bad.” Kiara assured him. “You can say that. But, you don’t...
