How beautiful was The Lion King release this year in theaters? I will always a fan of the original, but did you know there was an animated The Lion King 2 and even more beyond that? I went to the “green carpet” event for The Lion King 3D release in Hollywood in 2011 on a blog press trip, so I have an affinity to the film for sure! Now, with the live-action release, The Lion King has solidified itself as a part of our Disney experience – to know Simba is to love him.
This Christmas, those of us who saw The Lion King way back in 1994 in theaters, or who may have taken their kids or grandkids then too, can now celebrate with their own kids (and grandkids) once again. Hasbro’s furReal toys are loved because they’re very interactive, responding to touch and sound, and offer hours of play. In the case of Mighty Roar Simba, you’ll also hear songs and movie phrases as well!
Roar at each other (who’s the loudest?), play together, and give him his treat (you may prefer, umm, a different snack for yourself!). And be sure to give your Pride Lands pal lots of hugs… after all, even a king likes to cuddle! He responds to touch with over 100 sound-and-motion combinations! Best for ages 4+ I think this is an interactive plush toy that will be a best buddy throughout 2020 for anyone lucky enough to find him under the tree this Christmas!
Look for Disney The Lion King Mighty Roar Simba this holiday season at Amazon.ca ($99.97), Walmart ($99.97), Toys R Us ($129.99) and Indigo ($129.95).

I havent seen the newer version actually. just the original , which i watched with my dad and brothers for the first time and remember crying but trying to hide it cause i was with my bros lol. great movie except for that one really sad part
I love the lion king when I first saw it was in 1994 I can never forget this movie. It’s forever in my heart ❤️
The Lion King scared me. I liked when they sang – In the jungle the mighty jungle…
Growing up I was obsessed with the The Lion King! I still prefer the original movie over the new version.
We took our grandson to see the new Lion King movie in 3D and we all loved it. The music & special effects were really awesome!
I saw the original in theatres. I remember I just thought it was the best movie.
I havent watched the new version I loved the first movie
We saw the Original Lion King many, many, many times lol and we always loved it.
I just loved the music and the uplifting nature of Lion King.
I saw the original movie in the theater and I loved it! I haven’t seen the new movie yet.
This movie means a great deal to me. I used to watch it over and over with my little cousin who sadly passed away at a young age. I bought him a little simba toy that purred when the movie came out and his mom still has it. This is by far my favourite Disney movie.
I liked the original and the timon and Pumba movie
I loved the new movie version! Such realistic and engaging characters.
I saw the original in theatres for my birthday party!
A favourite of a little grandson. Would love to give it to him.
I can’t actually remember seeing the original Lion King all the way through. Maybe I should revisit the original before I see the new version!
oh my son would love this huge lion king fan
I l9ve both. I remember taking my brother and sister who are 10 and 12 years younger than me to the original
I love the original version and look forward to seeing the new movie.
I remember watching it with my siblings growing up on VHS. It was a very impactful yet funny movie, I love watching it with my kids, although we have yet to see the remake! .. I know I know
I do remember seeing the first one in the theater as a kid. I also remember watching this with my niece and enjoying every moment.
I just remember that the Lion King was the first Disney movie where I cried
I have yet to see the new version!
I haven’t seen the new version and its been a long time since seeing the original.
I have only seen the original movie, but I would love to see the live version. The live version looks like it is pretty good, unlike some other live versions,
I remember watching the original with my 4 siblings
I have not seen the new version yet but do remember seeing the first in the theater then buying the DVD.
I saw them both. The original is my favourite, I watched it 1000 time and every single time, I get teary. Beautiful story!
I saw the first Lion King in theatre when it first came out. It was the first movie I saw with boyfriend (now my husband!) And we both loved it!
I loved the original movie when I was a kid. My mom surprised my sister and I with a trip to Toronto to see the musical. It was amazing!
the first one I went to the theater and took my son. He loved it . I haven’t seen the latest one yet
I haven’t seen the Lion King at all, somehow I never saw it but then I’m not a great movie goer.
I saw the original Lion King movie in my hometown’s local theatre that is no longer operating. I went with some friends and loved it. I am pretty sure it was the year I graduated high school. I haven’t seen the new one yet.
I haven’t seen the new version, I recall the old one and the kids loved it
The original was my favourite movie growing up but I have to say that I loooooove the new one!!
I haven’t seen the new movie yet but I remember crying when Mufasa was killed
The Lion King is one of my favourite movies, I loved the original version, loved the broadway musical and I really like the new movie
I think I’ll probably play with it more than my 5 year old and I’m not even ashamed of that!
I saw the original in theatres. This past summer, I took my boys to see the live action musical for their birthdays. It was the third time that I was lucky enough to see it in person and I think I loved it more each time.
I haven’t seen the new version released this summer but I loved the older version. We watched it but not as much as some of the other Disney Movies.
I loved the original but haven’t seen the newest version!
I remember watching the original Lion King at the movies and how much I loved it-despite I cried!
I watched the origin Lion King with my sons, when they were teens, I now watch the origin with my grandchildren.
I saw the original and still prefer it today, one of my favourite Disney movies. Love Simba!
I saw the original In the theatre….I think it is the one that I myself prefer today although my granddaughter liked the new one as well
I saw the original and enjoyed it throughly.
Haven’t seen the new version yet, but I grew up watching the original animation and loved it! I knew all the songs 🙂
I watched the play a long time ago, and it was amazing!
I saw it with my son when it first came out.
I watched it on DVD with the grandchildren. We all enjoyed it.
I love the original! Such a classic…my favorite is Whoopi Goldberg voiced a hyena.
Haven’t seen the new movie yet but hope so over the holidays.
I saw the original Lion King with my own children when it first came out and now I’ve watched it countless times with my grandchildren and still get teary at the sad parts. Hopefully I’ll get to see the new version sometime soon.
I remember seeing the original with my niece and nephew in theaters. I haven’t seen the new one yet.
I saw the original in the theatre on Christmas day when I lived down in St. Maarten and didn’t have any family with me. My friend and I had Christmas dinner and then we went to see the movie.
I went to see Lion king as a child and it apparently made me quite sad when simba grew up. I love the original even now. I thought the remake was just ok. I watched it with my son which i thought was nice to share with him but it made me sad that it wasn’t as good as the original
I saw the original & loved it
My cousins introduced me to the Lion King when we were kids. We liked to play like we were Simba and Nala. I haven’t seen the live action one yet
This is super cute! We went to the new one this summer as a family. I laughed and cried and hugged my kids tight. Such a good movie. They loved it too!
I love the original Lion King movie. When i was little, I watched it so much that the Vhs tape broke.
I saw a Lion king show at Disney World and it was so amazing!
My nieces would like this
As of now I have not seen the new version of the Lion King but really enjoyed watching the older version.
i love the old lion king. i can’t bring myself to watch the new one. I don’t want to ruin my admiration for the old version
I have not seen the new movie yet. I have seen the older version many times and enjoyed the story.
i love all things lion king
I have not seen the new version, but would love to. I have only seen the original version
I watched the original on DVD first, I think, and was blown away.
We had a VHS of the Lion King and it got LOTS of love, and then I took my kids to see the new one this past summer!
I haven’t seen the new version yet, but I remember as a kid I absolutely loved The Lion King!! I watched it sooo many times that my dad had to go buy another tape because our VCR player chewed up the film lol
One of my all time favorites. I remember going with my siblings to see the first. I also watched Lion King on Broadway which was absolutely amazing!
I remember taking my daughter to the original Lion King. She had all the stuffies and characters. Almost 30 years later, she has all the toys (which she saved for our grandson), She made it a point to see the new one and she said she loved the graphics.
I used to be a nanny to a little girl and it was all she wanted to watch. I enjoyed the movie but after “hundreds” of times I was dreading it.
The Lion King was my favourite Disney movie as a kid! We watched it sooo many times. I saw the live action version this year, and I thought they did a really great job! Would love to win this Simba for my son. We read the Lion King book together and he loves the characters, especially Timon and Pumba!
I remember seeing the original in the theater but I wasn’t a huge fan until I had my first son and he loved it so much that it made me love it too.
I have only since the original one! Loved it and all the music
I remember when the original was released. My mom took us all to go watch it in the theaters! I instantly fell in love and my brother who was 4 at the time was obsessed. My mom bought us the VHS right when it came out and we must have watched it a million times. hahahaa.
I did enjoy the new version with my children. They were instantly captivated.
I remember watching the Lion King with my sister in for the first time. I now enjoy watching it with my kids too.
I have never seen the old one, although I know the songs. I’ll have to watch it soon.
I watched the original one in theaters and as compare, I like the original one.
I don’t think that I have watched the first one the whole way through and I haven’t seen the new one.
I remember the original movie and being enthralled with the graphics and the soundtrack of the Lion King. I can’t guess how many times I have watched it since! So many! I’ve yet to see the latest version.
My son is obsessed with the lion king! He would love this
My son has been a long term Lion King fan. His passion has been reignited since the release of the new movie!
We have not seen the new version as we babysat our Granddaughter so her parents could go see it for a night out.
I loved watching the new release with my two boys & husband. My boys have never seen the cartoon.
I cried watching the original version. Haven’t seen the new one yet.
I saw the original in school when I was in elementary
I saw the original in theatres in my teens and just loved it! I had Lion King everything for a long time – cups, stickers, notebooks, shirts… you name it! I even bought kissing Simba and Nala stuffies – they have magnets in their noses that make them kiss – so cute! I still have them and my kids play with them now.
I took my oldest to see the new version in the theatre. We both loved it! 🙂
I saw the original when it first came out and my children watched it over and over! A friends wedding theme was actually the Lion King and she had an entire room dedicated to her special Lion King keepsakes!
I honestly have never seen it, I will have to.
I saw it with my son and he loved it we purchased the video when it came out and he watched it so much we had to buy a second one.
