Movie Trivia/Goofs

One of three Disney movies to win a Golden Globe for Best Picture. The other two are Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story 2 (all three were in the category "Comedy or Musical").
The original opening to the film was supposed to have been a quiet dialogue-heavy sequence. When composer Hans Zimmer prepared his interpretation of Circle of Life, he made an extended version so he would have some flexibility as to what to cut for the film. The animators were so impressed with the work that they decided to change the beginning into the currently seen sequence so they could use the entire work that Zimmer prepared.
When Simba calls the hyenas 'stupid', a very nervous Zazu mutters 'Ixnay on the Upid-stay'. This is Pig Latin, roughly translated it means 'Don't say stupid'.
The last Disney movie to be supervised by Jeffrey Katzenberg before he left to form DreamWorks.
