The Lion King: A 30th Anniversary Celebration - Renegade Animation #152
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Disney's most beloved cinematic achievements, The Lion King, and its lasting legacy!
What’s going everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-host, The Animation Guru! This is a very special episode for a very special movie, and I’m glad that Disney’s most recent re-release has given Cameron and I an excuse to talk about it. So without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion of what was once crowned the highest grossing animated film of all time, 1994’s The Lion King!
The Lion King (1994)
Everybody has their own story about the first time they’ve seen the movie, whether it was in theaters or on home video. I wasn’t even 2 years old in the summer of ‘94, but once the movie became available on VHS the following year, it was on constant repeat in the Kaye household! I watched this movie so much as a child that I started to get a little sick of it as a teenager, well into my 20’s. However, seeing it last weekend in theaters really helped me rediscover my love for this film. It is a cinematic masterpiece that fires on all cylinders, with stellar animation, incredible music, and a timeless coming of age story.
“Even after its release 30 years ago, the 1994 classic is still a groundbreaking and historically important film with a truly epic and timeless tale.“ -The Animation Guru
