The Lion King (1994)

The ThawedCast returns as Episode 35 welcomes Christopher Witmer to the cast alongside Philip Ehlke, Jodi Polasky, amd Hannah Leigh Smart to discuss the original 'The Lion King' (1994), the 32nd film in the Walt Disney animated canon. Stay tuned for more coverage on the remake, but this episode is all about the culture-defining original that changed the way we thought about African wildlife. The film's protracted production began way back in the late 1980s and went through many iterations before delivering its epic spectacle, borrowing from Shakespeare as well as other nature-themed animated works.
