lion king (spoilers)


Didnt see a topic about the lion king here so i thought id post one. Anyone else see many similarities? Samson and Ryan were like Mufasa and Simba. They are totally different movies but I just noticed the same things in both. Like when they were in the volcano and Samson was hanging off the cliff, the wildebeast was going to push him off. Same in Lion King except with Scar. When the wildebeasts were running after them Samson told Ryan to get in the tree, same in Lion King. Many other things but I cant think of them right now.

I noticed that as well, also in the "lion king" when Simba and Nala go into the elephant grave yard, and get chased, and Mufasa gets angry with him. And in "the wild" Ryan chase the gazelle's and spoils the curling game, which angers Samson.

But I see what your saying there are similarities to those two movies.

The only thing thats similar there is the father getting mad at the son, and thats been in thousands of movies. I think you're kinda reaching for these now.

But yes, there are several scenes that closely mirror the Lion King. Its called homage.

Notice that they also have a sign for the Lion King musical in the New York streets scene.

Also when samson was hanging off the cliff the leader of the wildebeast it was like mufasa and scar... so much like it because the wildebeast had a scar on his eye, the same one scar did.

Yeah, me and my family were seeing this movie in the theater, and after we saw Samson fall off the cliff, my Mommy told me, "Like 'The Lion King'!"

i was going to say thing same thing, Samspn reminds me so much of Mufasa and Ryan reminds me of the young version of Simba. :D

hmmm... id say this is more of 'madagascar' meets 'finding nemo'. lion king was alot more about simba dealing with his dads death than their relationship... but i can definitly see how this is also very similar to lion king.

what about the whole finding his roar thing?
