How many times you can hear CYFTLT in TLK?
Two times? WRONG!
You will think: "But how? First time in the jungle, next during movie credits... and that's all".
Nope! You can hear music from CYFTLT (on flute) just before IJCWTBK! But it's very, very quiet

It's hard to hear it because of Zazu's voice, there was instrumentall version of TLK on YT but someone deleted it

I did hear about that instrumental of the song, but I never bothered to listen it until now.

It's cute that it is being played in a scene with Simba and Nala as cubs, and it's like a musical foreshadowing of their romance as adults. However, it is yet somewhat odd as it is being played when Simba and Nala are digusted that they have an arranged marriage (or being bethrothed). Oh well, they didn't feel the love that day! (pun intended)

Also, give credit where credit is due! Hans Zimmer is a musical genius, and was rightfully picked to score the movie.

It was played purposefully as a sign of things yet to come. Simba and Nala might not like it then, but wait a few years (or about 30 minutes, I'm not sure what the gap is in the movie), and you will see how the song fits perfectly!

Also, there are many official version of CYFTLT, not including these: Movie version, movie pre-production, Elton John, and the SNES game version. I got these four on my Ipod.

I remember this being pointed out back in December. I hadn't noticed it beforehand but it's a nice hint towards the future. I wonder how many people actually notice it though...

I didn`t really notice it until someone pointed it out in a similar thread. Then I listened very closely the next time I was watching the movie, and sure enough, I could hear it. It`s a lovely little hint of how the two cubs will one day fall in love and become King and Queen of hte Pridelands.

^Lol, that's exactly how I heard it. I heard about it in a thread, then I watched the movie and heard it. It's cool. But....another thread about this exists already...I think XD

Yeh this has been discussed before...

That's very cool! Never noticed that!

Foreshadowing!

Here's a better video if you want the instrumental without the dialogue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhFxYYsIpg8 The instrumental is towards the end.

Oh yeah so there is, good ear.
