Engxoxweni noGq Elton John wathi akazange athole imizwa emihle ngemuva kokubuka ifilimu.
Uhlobo olusha lwe- "King of Lion" lwaludumele kakhulu kimi, ngoba ngikholwa ukuthi baphana ngomculo,
- Utshele umculi. Ngokusho kwakhe, umculo wokuqala wawunikeza ikhathuni yakudala ngokuphelele, nakwinguqulo entsha, umsindo wakhe awukwazanga ukudala imizwa efanayo.
Umlingo nenjabulo balahlekile. I-soundtrack ayithandwa kangako emashadini, njengoba yayinjalo eminyakeni engama-25 eyedlule, lapho i-albhamu enhle kakhulu yonyaka,
-Aphawule uJohn.
Ubuye wathi, mhlawumbe, uzobamba iqhaza ekubhaleni umculo kwifilimu, kodwa imibono yokudala yahlukaniswa kulokhu. Kodwa-ke, umculi waphawula ukuthi wayejabule, ngoba umoya ofanele womculo uhlala usesigabeni kanye nomculo "wenkosi yenkosi" yomculo.
Khumbula ukuthi umkhondisi wekhathuni waba yiprojekthi yezithombe ze-Disney Studio. Abaningi bathande le filimu, kepha inani le-remake elibuyiselwe lalibuye libe likhulu. Hhayi kuphela ababukeli kanye nabagxeki ifilimu, kodwa futhi nabadali be- "King of Lion" yasekuqaleni, eholwa nguDavid Stefan, wakhuluma ngokumelene nenguqulo yesimanje yekhathuni.
