Anyone ever heard of the missing Hakuna Matata verse that was cut from the final production of the film? Apparently Timon's "When I was a young meerkat" lyrics were dropped and replaced with Pumbaa's "When I was a young warthog" stanza because the filmakers decided it was too long and unecessary. There's even an extra little line from Simba as well ^^. You can watch the whole thing here:

It's also included as an extra in the TLK Special Edition disc.

I herd of that but never saw it =D Thanks!

Yeah, I saw it before on YT. ^^ Maybe this inspired them to make TLK 1.5.

Cool! Never seen this before, thanks for posting it!

Oh that's so cool! ^^ I'm glad they cut out Timon's verse. Hakuna Matata would be a bit too long.

I never saw this one before, but this one is cool

That in my opinion is not a good thing x.x But I guess it's subjective.

It did make the song a tad too long though, I will admit that much.

Nah, I don't mind long songs. It was actually funnier than Pumbaa's version to me. xP

Awesome!

well, if they had added this we wouldn't have TLK1.5 to explain where Timon came from. I always liked how the rest of the colony kind of just grabs Timon and throws him though

I've seen this before, because it's on the dvd. lol, I played EVERYTHING that was on that DVD when I got it.
