* CutSong: Plenty. A song for Mufasa to sing called "To Be King", a song for Sarabi titled "The Lion In The Moon", a reprise of "Be Prepared" and "Warthog Rhapsody", which was the original Hakuna Matata.
** Warthog Rhapsody made it into the musical, as did the best known cut song, "Morning Report", a song which was also restored to the later DVD releases. "The Madness of King Scar" in the musical is based off of a cut song/scene in the film.
** A "work in progress" trailer that was attached to the beginning of one of Disney's ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound'' video had a snippet of a different version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight".



* WordOfStPaul / WordOfGay : Timon and Pumbaa's VA's consider them to be a gay couple.

* TroubledProduction: A director fell out due to conflicts with the creative team. The script needed much fine-tuning. And an earthquake hit California during the final months of production, causing the animators to work at home.

** Mufasa's stint as Rafiki's SpiritAdvisor was originally planned to be much more obvious, with the former Lion King's ghost actively speaking to the shaman. Wisely realizing this might come across as unintentionally hilarious, or at least a breaking of the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief, the directors decided to instead have all interactions between Rafiki and Mufasa symbolized by the blowing of the wind. This fact is later emphasized when the wind blows around Simba, just before he listens to Kiara and accepts the Outlanders back, and explains why he looks so happy and on the verge of tears at the end, even before he hears Mufasa say [[SoProudOfYou "Well done, my son."]]

** Mufasa is [[JamesEarlJones Darth Vader]].
*** And [[ComingToAmerica the ruler of Zamunda]].
*** His French voice actor is JeanReno.
** Young Simba is [[HomeImprovement Randy Taylor]].
** Adult Simba is [[MatthewBroderick Ferris Bueller]].
*** Banzai is Ferris in Italian.
** Scar is [[DieHard Simon Gruber]].
*** For the last lines in "Be Prepared", his voice is temporarily replaced with JimCummings doing a spot-on impersonation starting with "You won't get a sniff without me!"- you will not hear a difference! It helps that Scar raises his voice the loudest at the end of the song, where it is supposed to sound a bit different. This is because Irons was unavailable for a rerecord, but they needed to get it redone right then.
** Timon is [[TheBirdcage Aunt Albert]] and also does a lot of Broadway, and he's also played by [[JakAndDaxter Daxter]] in other media.
*** And his mom is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]].
** Pumbaa was Nathan Lane's co-star in ''AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum''. He would later play Sancho in the Broadway revival of ''ManOfLaMancha''.
** Shenzi is [[WhoopiGoldberg Sister Mary Clarence]].
** Banzai [[CheechAndChong likes to get baked]].
** You can't tell by listening to it, but once you know that Ed is JimCummings everything makes total sense.

** Zazu is {{Blackadder}} and MrBean.
** Kovu is voiced by JasonMarsden, also known as the voice of [[GoofTroop Max Goof]], [[TheWeekenders Tino]], and [[SpiritedAway Haku]]. And of course Matthew Broderick returns as Simba.
** Young Kovu is ''[[KingdomHearts Demyx]]''!?
** Don't forget Suzanne Pleshette as Zira.
** Not to mention Kiara, who is [[Film/{{Scream}} Sidney Prescott]].
** CamClarke is Simba's singing voice.
** Nuka is Andy Dick.
** The Japanese dub is an interesting case, since many of the voice actors who worked in the dub worked as many important characters from the {{Mecha}} genre:
*** Simba [[MitsuruMiyamoto is]] [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]] and [[RahXephon Itsuki Kisaragi]].
*** Sarabi is [[MazingerZ the female side of Baron Ashura]].
*** Mufasa is [[Anime/TetsuwanAtom Dr. Tenma]].
*** Timon [[YujiMitsuya is]] [[CombattlerV Hyoma Aoi]] and [[DragonBallZ Kaioh-shin]].
*** Timon's mom [[MasakoNozawa is]] [[DragonBall Son Goku]] and [[CombattlerV Oreana and Ropet]] (This is can be considered as HilariousInHindsight, considering who is voicing his son, since she tries to kill him (Oreana) or helping (Ropet and Goku) him.)
*** Uncle Max [[TakeshiAono is]] [[MetalGearSolid the Col. Roy Campbell]].
*** Zazu is [[MobileSuitGundam00 Ian Vashti]] and [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Vindel Mauser]].
*** Young Nala is [[KingdomHearts Kairi]].
*** Young Simba is [[DissidiaFinalFantasy Vaan]] [[TheOtherDarrin (at least in that game)]] and Film/HarryPotter.
*** Adult Vitani [[MayumiAsano is]] [[{{Vandread}} Gascoigne Rheingau]] and [[ZetaGundam Lyra Mira Lyla from the movies]].
*** Rafiki is [[{{Snatcher}} Harry Benson]] and [[FistOfTheNorthStar Ryuken in the TV series]].

** In Brazil, Simba is ArnoldSchwarzenegger, Scar is [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]], Sarabi is [[{{Dinosaurs}} Fran Sinclair]], Timon is [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast LeFou]], Pumbaa is [[MonstersInc Sulley]], Banzai is [[PinkyAndTheBrain The Brain]], Shenzi is [[TinyToonAdventures Elmyra]], Nala is [[BridgetJonesDiary Bridget Jones]], Mufasa is [[PowerRangers Lord Zedd]], Zazu is [[StarWars Palpatine]], and Rafiki is [[GoofTroop Pete]].
** In Poland, Scar is [[{{Anastasia}} Rasputin]], Mufasa is [[{{Asterix}} Obelix]], Timon is {{Goofy}}, Pumbaa is [[ToyStory Hamm]], Shenzi is [[CourageTheCowardlyDog Muriel]] and Rafiki is the [[LooneyTunes Tasmanian Devil]].
** On the topic of foreign dubs, both Spanish dubs have DarkwingDuck as adult Simba. In Mexico, it's Arturo Mercado. In Spain, Sergio Zamora.
