The fact that James Earl Jones was the only person to reprise his character for The Lion King remake shows how iconic and irreplaceable he was. Thank you, James. You’ll always be our king. ❤
And now Mufasa's voice actor James Earl Jones has passed away. Thank you James for doing this iconic role twice, and of course the Darth Vader role. R.I.P James Earl Jones
Comment was edited, but spelled fortnite wrong, also. No hard feelings about 2019 compared to 19's, but i liked 2019 more than you do, 3:29 looks like Simba's quarter fell into a hole
RIP James Earl Jones (1931-2024). Now Simba is really crying after James Earl Jones Death. Today is the day Scar threw Mufasa off the cliff leading to this sad day.
I’m here because of the news. Rest in peace to James Earl Jones (January 17th, 1931-September 9th, 2024), the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars and Mufasa in The Lion King. He will be missed. May the force be with him. 😔💔🙏🪦💐🕊️🕯️
It's not that it can't be done better, it's that it's trying to make a stylized cartoon realistic, which dramatically reduces the dramatic impact of the original scene (the canyon looks like an actual savannah canyon, but it's also significantly smaller and less crowded, thus less impactful).
Yeah, that summer there was one king for me and it was Godzilla not The live action remake. Weird thing is I thought John Favreau did a good job with the jungle book remake since the characters were able to actually emote in that film
I agree...it's a shame..I feel like the remake could have been so much better but it just seems like the rushed it to production (the animation was so stiff and fake in some areas)
@@777_liu_vickeywds7I disagree. I feel that kinda undersells Scar's strength. I mean, he literally throws Mufasa off of the cliff in the 1994 version. Since Mufasa's supposed to be the physically stronger one of the two, they went for the more realistic approach in the remake where Scar hits him.
Na minha opinião os dois são bons no remake mufasa, estava sim com medo de cair e pediu ajuda do scar mas o filme simula a realidade e leões não tem expressão facial, e o fato do scar acertar a cara de mufasa minha teoria é que como ele se enfrentaram no passado pelo trono e pelo amor da Sarabi mufasa causou essa cicatriz em scar, e não sei se vocês viram o novo filme que vai contar a história do mufasa,nele diz que mufasa é adotado por um leão,esse leão provavelmente era o rei na época e pai do scar, scar então é sim o verdadeiro Rei por ter sangue real mas o pai dele disse que mufasa se tornaria rei por sei mais forte, scar então fica com um sentimento de raiva pois ele seria rei mas seu pai adotou um leão e diz para seu filho que ele não será mas rei e que no seu lugar o novo rei será o irmão adotado por mufasa ser mais velho e mais forte que scar, então depois que o pai morreu mufasa ia assumir o trono e Sarabi seria sua esposa,scar então o desafia mufasa para um duelo valendo o trono e disputando o amor da Sarabi pois se scar era prometido a Sarabi quando ele ia virar rei mas mufasa chegou e ela foi prometida a ele no duelo scar é derrotado e mufasa deixa uma cicatriz em seu rosto, eu acredito que no remake o nome real dele seja taka, depois da luta os animais do reino que antes respeitavam scar por ser herdeiro no trono agora deram a ele um apelido scar e mufasa não fez nada a respeito, isso tudo foi oque levou scar a matar seu irmão adotivo para recuperar seu trono, eu cheguei a essa conclusão por que no fim do remake scar diz a Simba na luta" este é o meu reino,meu destino" isso não quer dizer que eu estou defendendo o Scar mas eu até entendo um pouco o lado dele, ele se sentiu humilhado pelos animais e abandonado por seu pai depois que mufasa chegou, por isso na hora que ele vai matar o irmão ele causa a cicatriz no rosto de mufasa como uma vingança
This scene gave me chills now knowing that he actually passed away. RIP to the legendary James Earl Jones. He lived such a great life. Sending condolences to his family and friends. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, JAMES. WE LOVE YOU❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
1994 Scar: Sincere, cold, and brutal before throwing Mufasa to the stampede. 2019 Scar: Tries too hard to sound menacing, but really sounds like he's reading out of a textbook with short pauses before slapping Mufasa.
Thats because they tried to make it look as real as possible but you cant use as many expressions with a live action movie than you can with an animated one
2:43 well after being slammed by the wildebeest here and fell hard to the ground at 2:45 he probably had a few broken ribs and other parts of his body that got damaged.
RIP to the voice of Mufasa and Darth Vader. Long live the King and may the force be with James Earl Jones. P.S. I prefer the 1994 version compared to the 2019 version of Lion King.
1994 with a smirk and a creepy whispering voice: "Long live the king." 2019 with a scowl and an angry shouting voice: "Long...live...THE KING!" For 2019, we can't see expressions very well, but remembering 1994 and hearing the tones of voices from 2019, we should at least get an idea on what their emotions are.
The problem is that if this was intended for kids to watch as the movie's defenders keep saying, then this is the first time they're introduced to the Lion King, and it's hard to pick up the emotions. Thus, the scene fails. If this is intended for the 1994 audience to see, (like Disney has gone on record saying) then this scene fails because we know how much better and expressive the original version was.
RIP James Earl Jones (1931-2024) the voice of Mufasa. Now he’s reunited with Sarabi (Madge Sinclair) and Rafiki (Robert Guillaume) in the skies of the Circle of Life.
They completely failed capturing Musfasa's courage and vulnerability as well as Scar's sadism and malice in the 2019 version. When Mufasa begged Scar for help, calling him "brother" emanates so much trust and desperation. And the sudden realization on his face when Scar leans forward, stares him straight in the eyes, and whispers, "Long...live..the...king" just makes your blood turn to ice. The fact that Scar was actually relishing this moment of usurping his brother and seeing the shock on Mufasa's face makes this betrayal scene far more compelling and terrifying. He was taking his time toying with his older brother's despair and vulnerability. Also, can we talk about Jeremy Iron's voice? So utterly dark and otherworldly. For a moment, you just see straight into Scar's sick and twisted psychology & you feel Mufasa's sudden awareness along with his agony and terror. I was six years old when I saw the original and it pretty much traumatized me. I'm in my 30's now and it still gives me chills. The 2019 live version should at least gotten that part right. The delivery just sounds too hurried and way too casual. The way Scar killed off Mufasa is almost like how one would swat away a pesky moth. The whole adaptation lacked passion...and soul.
@@justinkaz In this context you can, since its one story thats being told by both media. And for the record the 3D "realistic" version was basically a copy paste with uncanniness thrown in with it in the most important scenes. 3D realism can achieve great things, and it can manage to pull off things 2D cannot, just as much the other way round. But here even the voice acting is dry compared to the original, which does not involve what media was used to carry out the visuals. Overall, the director or whoever was in charge of this remake wanted to recreate a human emotion filled piece with an overly limited "realism" setting. It is impossible to produce emotion on these faces, they definitely could've gone more towards what Narnia did with their lion where they were realistic enough but still kept unreal anatomy in the faces to make them be able to show emotions. Its a huge fault with this remake since all it depended on was the emotions of the characters and their humanity, yet they failed at the most crucial pillars which uphold the visual storytelling of it.
Some people keep complaining about how Mufasa's voice doesnt have alot of emotion and It's because his voice actor was old and didnt had the strenght to do his voice lines like he did in the 1994 film.
Crogy 92 what happened with Disney is that looking the perfect voice for scar was going to be a hard challenge cuz his og tone has a special evil touch and to found one person with that evil voice is really difficult, and you always dont get what you want so you have to accept it and keep it even if you dont like it...
In the original film, you can really see the fear in Mufasa’s eyes when Scar tells him that Simba is in danger and that moment when he realizes he’s done for. In the remake, he doesn’t look the slightest bit concerned. Even JEJ’s tired voice acting tops off the absence of emotion, the VERY THING that is CRUCIAL for this VERY MOMENT!
Old version vs. New version death Old ---------------------- Simba: Horrified at seeing his own father plummet to his death, you can hear the pure terror in his scream. Mufasa: Falling to his demise, stared into his brother's eyes one last time, realizing he was being betrayed by his own blood. Scar: Cruel and satisfied as he sarcastically "hails" Mufasa as king. He has waited for this moment for years. You hear the hatred and contempt in every word New -----‐------------------- Simba: Sounds like a child who stubbed his toe Mufasa: Slow, exaggerated fall which adds nothing and looks odd in the animation style, stone face Scar: Sounds like the socially awkward kid reading off a script in the play his mom forced him to audition for
They actually told Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Simba's original actor, to picture his mom falling. He got so into the moment he screamed "MOM!" on the first take. That's real terror you can hear there in the final cut.
That's the problem: the "live-action" version tried to look as real as possible. As such, it kills all of the advantages of animation. Animation is better when it comes to emphasis, exaggeration, and emotions. You can see all the tension and true terror in the animated version, because of how it was expressed. In the "live-action" version, the animals just go through the motions.
@@nascarfanatic2425which is why they should stop making live actions because it ruins the entire movie/plot. they always make such drastic changes that make the movie's message/theme weak asf
The worst part: no matter how many times you watch this, even though you knew what was going to happen, you still hold on to that small amount of hope that, somehow, someway, Mufasa gets out of this alive, that what you’ve seen a thousand times over, is not gonna happen. But every time, you get disappointed, as no matter what, you have to face the fact that, unfortunately, Mufasa is gonna still be betrayed by Scar, and Mufasa was still gonna die. Long Live the king. RIP JAMES EARL JONES.
You have the most powerful voice, and it will never be forgotten...RIP JAMES EARL JONES THE LORD VADER HIMSELF AND OF COURSE THE KING OF THE PRIDE LANDS!!! ❤️🙏🏾👑
I mean it didn’t look like he needed help to get to high ground. He would’ve made it to high ground on his own, when compared to the original, where it actually LOOKED like he needed help.
Yea in the original Mufasa had to use his clause to stay up and he was sliding off In the remake he is holding onto the top and could have easily got up
I still prefer Monster Inc., Shrek, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and stuff like that, but I'm going through some temptation to actually watch TLK from beginning to end
The last one seems kind of stupid for Scar to do, at least in the old one he's preventing witnesses from seeing what he's about to do to Mufasa but by letting Zazu go call for help he risks the entire pride catching him in the act of killing their king and then he'll be ripped to shreds.
@@colbystearns5066Especially since he later told them he didn’t get there on time. I know he kicked Zazu out of Pride Rock, but that’s still a huge risk.
I don’t really like how Mufasa sounds in the remake when he says “Help me.” He doesn’t like he’s pleading like in the original. He sounds like he’s giving Scar an order.
The voice acting in the remake is horrendous. There is no emotion, and the stiff facial features don't help. The stampede seems so much slower and smaller in the remake too which makes it much less of a threat. The shots are also further out, meaning there's more space around Simba as he's running so there's less of a "omg he's trapped" feeling. Overall, the original is so much better.
@AshFirez I do feel bad for the animators. The director had a realistic style in mind and they did a great job making that work. But...it sucks out the soul of the story and really doesn't work. (I would hesitate to call it beautiful too, as there's no real style and the colours are so dull - but that's my opinion) The voice acting does defiantly affect the story, imo. How are we supposed to care for these characters and what happens if they don't seem to care either? If their voices sound so flat and their faces are so blank, why should the audience work doubly hard to put in the emotion and then care about said emotion? It just makes the movie flop hard.
@AshFirez Yes, but real lions also don't talk, have structured hierarchies that involve monarchy, don't sing, don't have spiritual believes, and so on.
This truly hits hard after hearing of James Earl Jones’ death. The King has now taken his place in the Circle Of Life. Most remember him as Darth Vader but my generation also remembers him as King Mufasa. He was a legend and he will never be forgotten. RIP James Earl Jones ❤
This scene makes me so sad, like I actually started to tear up a lil (and I don’t cry like at all, it’s been years). But this makes me think of my dad and his bravery, and all of the sacrifices he made🥲☹️. I know he complains a lot🙈but I still do love him unfortunately lol, if I were him and had to do all of the things he did, I doubt I’d be as happy and carefree as I am now. He knows what it means to be a man (even when he didn’t have a dad in his life). I don’t know if I would be able to do all of the things most dads have to do, but very heroic and admirable of them. They sacrifice themselves for their family (even in moments where they may be scared too), it’s so sad, I try to write him that I’m deeply grateful on like Fathers Day and his birthday, but I think he forgets cuz our regular life because I don’t talk to him much so it looks like I’m not, but I really am. He lets me slide a lot, and I really have to do my part more, I want him to be happy. Even though he may not like the kind of man I am (with me being not as manly and too lazy), I am gonna make it my goal to gain success in life for him (but in my own way obviously, cuz the traits he doesn’t like about me also give me a lot of strengths). I’m sure he’d like to see me successful, regardless if it’s in something he likes/respects. I’m going to talk bad about him less too, because it’s a lot of audacity for me to say as much as I do when he’s doing and has done so much for me. Nobody’s perfect, I shouldn’t criticize him so much, and shouldn’t let his words affect me
R.I.P James Earl Jones thank you voice acting one of my favorite childhood cartoon fathers in the history fathers. In both The Lion King 1994 and 2019. Mufasa was a hero, a leader and a true king. You be missed!
Mufasa’s death never made me cry as a kid but now that James Earl Jones, one of the actors who has inspired me so much has passed away, it breaks my heart and I now cry during this scene because it feels like James’ death and not Mufasa’s. I will never forget this man who has been part of my favorite film franchise since day one, rest in peace James Earl Jones 😔🕊️

This is why CGI will never be better than traditional animation.
Yh true that. I mean the lion king 1994 took 3 years in CGI to create these animals for this scene
I disagree they are two different mediums of animation and can be done right when used in their own respective ways
It's not that it can't be done better, it's that it's trying to make a stylized cartoon realistic, which dramatically reduces the dramatic impact of the original scene (the canyon looks like an actual savannah canyon, but it's also significantly smaller and less crowded, thus less impactful).

well it could have been good if they actually wanted to do something with it besides make a fucking nature documentary

Long live the king James Earl Jones. You’ll be dearly missed. RIP
RIP James Earl Jones!
Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones
Unfortunately the real Mufasa just passed away 😞
He’s up in the sky looking down at us
Old version vs. New version death
Old
----------------------
Simba: Horrified at seeing his own father plummet to his death, you can hear the pure terror in his scream.
Mufasa: Falling to his demise, stared into his brother's eyes one last time, realizing he was being betrayed by his own blood.
Scar: Cruel and satisfied as he sarcastically "hails" Mufasa as king. He has waited for this moment for years. You hear the hatred and contempt in every word
New
-----‐-------------------
Simba: Sounds like a child who stubbed his toe
Mufasa: Slow, exaggerated fall which adds nothing and looks odd in the animation style, stone face
Scar: Sounds like the socially awkward kid reading off a script in the play his mom forced him to audition for
Exactly.
Yeah I totally agree
They actually told Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Simba's original actor, to picture his mom falling. He got so into the moment he screamed "MOM!" on the first take. That's real terror you can hear there in the final cut.
*Simba sounds like a child who stubbed his toe* my gosh you made me laugh!
No there pretty much the same lmao
This hits hard now :(
After hearing James Earl Jone’s death, “Long Live the king” 😭😭😭 January 17th 1931 - September 9th 2024
Mufasa: a king's time as ruler rises and sets as the sun
RIP James Earl Jones
Who's here after hearing the news?
3:30 my literal reaction when I heard the news 😢
Me too 😖
R.I.P James Earl Jones
You'll always be our one true King🦁👑
I’ve never realized how badass Mufasa looks in the original until seeing the 2019 version.
Now this hits me harder when James passed away
R.I.P James Earl Jones...
In the new version it looks like you could still survive that stampede
That's the problem: the "live-action" version tried to look as real as possible. As such, it kills all of the advantages of animation. Animation is better when it comes to emphasis, exaggeration, and emotions. You can see all the tension and true terror in the animated version, because of how it was expressed. In the "live-action" version, the animals just go through the motions.
@@nascarfanatic2425which is why they should stop making live actions because it ruins the entire movie/plot. they always make such drastic changes that make the movie's message/theme weak asf
@@wisteria7961 Amen
Yeah it looks like he probably could’ve climbed up
no it doesn’t
The worst part: no matter how many times you watch this, even though you knew what was going to happen, you still hold on to that small amount of hope that, somehow, someway, Mufasa gets out of this alive, that what you’ve seen a thousand times over, is not gonna happen. But every time, you get disappointed, as no matter what, you have to face the fact that, unfortunately, Mufasa is gonna still be betrayed by Scar, and Mufasa was still gonna die.
Long Live the king. RIP JAMES EARL JONES.
You are so right, Mufasa has such pure intentions here, it’s such a shame
You have the most powerful voice, and it will never be forgotten...RIP JAMES EARL JONES THE LORD VADER HIMSELF AND OF COURSE THE KING OF THE PRIDE LANDS!!! ❤️🙏🏾👑
Here after the news about James Earl Jones' passing. RIP to a legend.
Thank you Jones for your role as Mufusa and Vader. Rest in peace
This hits different now…
RIP James Earl Jones, the only true Mufasa 😭
original: genuine crying
remake: me crying asking myself why is it so shit
Why does it look like Mufasa could make it to the top without Scar’s help in the 2019 version?
Because he did
Because he did
I mean it didn’t look like he needed help to get to high ground. He would’ve made it to high ground on his own, when compared to the original, where it actually LOOKED like he needed help.
Yea in the original Mufasa had to use his clause to stay up and he was sliding off
In the remake he is holding onto the top and could have easily got up
who else thinks Lion King is the best animation movie to ever be made
I still prefer Monster Inc., Shrek, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and stuff like that, but I'm going through some temptation to actually watch TLK from beginning to end
Me.
Close second after brother bear
From western media it'd be Atlantis and Treasure Planet, and from eastern it'd be Silent Voice for me.
Beauty and the beast is my favorite, but lion king is up there
R.i.p James earl Jones
Old Version: Scar pushed Zazu while Zazu was overeacting like Mr. Bean.
New Version: Scar ask Zazu to leave the stampede scene only.
@@chestercheetah3210 What do you mean?
The last one seems kind of stupid for Scar to do, at least in the old one he's preventing witnesses from seeing what he's about to do to Mufasa but by letting Zazu go call for help he risks the entire pride catching him in the act of killing their king and then he'll be ripped to shreds.
@@colbystearns5066 Well, he also slapped Mufasa
@@colbystearns5066Especially since he later told them he didn’t get there on time. I know he kicked Zazu out of Pride Rock, but that’s still a huge risk.
@@chestercheetah3210that’s because it was made 25 year before the live action remake was built. So his age was much higher for it being 25 Years
Long Live the King.🙏
James Earl Jones (1931-2024)
I don’t really like how Mufasa sounds in the remake when he says “Help me.” He doesn’t like he’s pleading like in the original. He sounds like he’s giving Scar an order.
I agree with you 💯. The original sounds more like a panic fear, and this one sounds more like calm faith.
Stop complaining
Desiree White
Stop settling for trash
shut up
I was literally going to say that it sounds like he’s giving Scar an order
And in the original version he said brother but in the remake he didn’t
The original has emotional while the remake does not have emotional at all!
This hits different now. Rest in peace, James Earl Jones.
2:43 idk why but this is enough to bring me to tears. Meanwhile I don’t have any emotions for 6:04
I couldn't agree more!!!
When I was a boy back in the 90s this scene brought a lot of my friends to tears.. the new one doesn't look emotional at all
Also 2:54, Mufasa leaping out from the stampede, eclipsing the sun and doing a fierce roar like the mighty lion he is! live action was so meh
School bus
Car
Mufasa dying in 1994: actually sad
Mufasa dying in 2019: *wheezing from laughter*
The voice acting in the remake is horrendous. There is no emotion, and the stiff facial features don't help. The stampede seems so much slower and smaller in the remake too which makes it much less of a threat. The shots are also further out, meaning there's more space around Simba as he's running so there's less of a "omg he's trapped" feeling.
Overall, the original is so much better.
True
@AshFirez I do feel bad for the animators. The director had a realistic style in mind and they did a great job making that work. But...it sucks out the soul of the story and really doesn't work. (I would hesitate to call it beautiful too, as there's no real style and the colours are so dull - but that's my opinion)
The voice acting does defiantly affect the story, imo. How are we supposed to care for these characters and what happens if they don't seem to care either? If their voices sound so flat and their faces are so blank, why should the audience work doubly hard to put in the emotion and then care about said emotion? It just makes the movie flop hard.
@AshFirez Yes, but real lions also don't talk, have structured hierarchies that involve monarchy, don't sing, don't have spiritual believes, and so on.
@AshFirez You too :p
AshFirez o
This truly hits hard after hearing of James Earl Jones’ death. The King has now taken his place in the Circle Of Life. Most remember him as Darth Vader but my generation also remembers him as King Mufasa. He was a legend and he will never be forgotten.
RIP James Earl Jones ❤
This scene makes me so sad, like I actually started to tear up a lil (and I don’t cry like at all, it’s been years). But this makes me think of my dad and his bravery, and all of the sacrifices he made🥲☹️. I know he complains a lot🙈but I still do love him unfortunately lol, if I were him and had to do all of the things he did, I doubt I’d be as happy and carefree as I am now. He knows what it means to be a man (even when he didn’t have a dad in his life). I don’t know if I would be able to do all of the things most dads have to do, but very heroic and admirable of them. They sacrifice themselves for their family (even in moments where they may be scared too), it’s so sad, I try to write him that I’m deeply grateful on like Fathers Day and his birthday, but I think he forgets cuz our regular life because I don’t talk to him much so it looks like I’m not, but I really am. He lets me slide a lot, and I really have to do my part more, I want him to be happy. Even though he may not like the kind of man I am (with me being not as manly and too lazy), I am gonna make it my goal to gain success in life for him (but in my own way obviously, cuz the traits he doesn’t like about me also give me a lot of strengths). I’m sure he’d like to see me successful, regardless if it’s in something he likes/respects. I’m going to talk bad about him less too, because it’s a lot of audacity for me to say as much as I do when he’s doing and has done so much for me. Nobody’s perfect, I shouldn’t criticize him so much, and shouldn’t let his words affect me
RIP James Earl Jones! 💔😢🙏
R.I.P James Earl Jones thank you voice acting one of my favorite childhood cartoon fathers in the history fathers. In both The Lion King 1994 and 2019. Mufasa was a hero, a leader and a true king. You be missed!
Mufasa’s death never made me cry as a kid but now that James Earl Jones, one of the actors who has inspired me so much has passed away, it breaks my heart and I now cry during this scene because it feels like James’ death and not Mufasa’s. I will never forget this man who has been part of my favorite film franchise since day one, rest in peace James Earl Jones 😔🕊️
Man the stampede looks slow in the remake.
In the remake he can run the same speed as the herd and survive in the original he couldn't even stay still for a second without being trampled
