This Caught my Eye

Well, considering they're both family, they're bound to look similar to each other

[Moka]

O.o wonder why exactly they did it that way... perhaps they wanted to get more experience before they did that one, since it's pretty complicated?

Many movies shoot their scenes out of order. In live action, they do it because of convenience of location. In animated films...I don't think its a matter of experienced. The animators are all perfectly experienced in drawing their characters before they start animating the first scene. But I don't know exactly why they don't shoot them in order. There has to be a logistical reason.

yea he does look surprisingly like Simba here

You remember in the special features on the second disc of TLK Moka, how they mentioned that Having Mufasa return was an idea they came up with later on, as they were planning on not having him return at all, maybe that's why? ^^

[Simbaholikov]

That's an interesting point, KM, and could very well be the reason
Hehe, I didn't know that..
*Should really explore his DVD a little more ^^*

[Moka]

Right, they mentioned that having Mufasa return was sort of symbolic for Moses and the burning bush. It was also the "to be or not to be" scene, which they found out was needed for the movie ^^

Those videos show us that...apparently...TLK wasn't made in an organized process There were too many ideas, people were too excited and they didn't have enough time to make it all fit together. They said that the plot wasn't fully developed until they finished the movie, lol. Maybe that's a reason why it was made out of order.

Makes sense to me That must have been an amazing process to be a part of.

[SnowyCheetah]

...and nerveracking! Not knowing how it's going to turn out, when you've already plunged yourself into making it and hoping it turns out well... I bet there were a lot of headaches involved lol

In this screenshot from TLK, seconds before Mufasa's talk with Simba after the incident at the elephant graveyard, we see Mufasa sitting in the grass. I just noticed that (at least to me, anyway), his profile looks very similar to Simba's. It could probably fool me if I didn't know which movie that screenshot was taken from.

oh my gosh!

I actually thought it was Simba before I started reading!
