[Elton in English] In the early '90s,
Disney had an idea

20
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:19,514
to make a film called King of the Jungle.

21
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,266
-[♪ wondrous music playing]
-[Elton] After years

22
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:22,767
of drawing and pitches,

23
00:02:22,851 --> 00:02:27,147
a stampede scene involving two lions,
Mufasa and Simba,

24
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:28,648
caught everyone's attention.

25
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,987
From that, in 1994,
Disney released The Lion King.

26

[audience cheering]

27
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,949
[Elton] I cannot believe
it's been 30 years.

28
00:02:38,032 --> 00:02:39,868
I remember when I got the phone call

29
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:42,704
from Tim Rice to write songs
from the original film,

30
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,956
I had no idea it would turn into

31
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,292
this massive global phenomenon.

32
00:02:48,042 --> 00:02:51,129
The film and the music were a huge success

33
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:54,007
and went on to win two Academy Awards.

34
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:55,967
I remember writing some of the songs

35
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,052
for that movie very, very clearly.

36
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:01,181
The one that I remember most,
of course, was "Hakuna Matata,"

37
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:02,974
which I had to start off singing...

In 1997, The Lion King musical

44
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:16,779
took stages around the world by storm

45
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,283
and became a Tony and Grammy
award-winning production.

46
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:24,287
Since its premiere,
it has played in over 100 cities

50
00:03:36,257 --> 00:03:40,678

[Thomas] November of 1990,
we started on the movie,

Lion King is a giant hit.

the singing voice of young Simba
