"The Lion King": who sounded Simba?

In theaters there is already a cartoon film "Zveropolis", but this is not the first film where the protagonists of history are animals. The most famous representative of such films is "The Lion King", which became a real classic work, to which all subsequent blockbusters about animals were leveled.

Who is Simba?

Before him there was a story about Robin Hood in the form of a fox and about Sherlock in the form of a mouse detective, but the older generation will still always remember and compare cartoons with the adventures of the royal heir Simba. To date, there is no more recognizable character than he. However, we will not consider the film itself, because we are interested in people who have given voice to this character.

It seems that there is no such person who has not seen or heard of Simba, did not experience with him and did not seek a way to mount Pride, when the power was usurped by the brother of the king. Well, there are a lot of royal intrigues in this film.

Back in 1994, Disney's full-length masterpiece appeared on the screens, which for many years ahead set the bar of animation, showing the world that in the era of computer animation, it was possible to create wonderful films. Since that time, young spectators and their parents often asked a simple question, which consisted in the cast of actors, see the painted characters needed to be spoken. Who sounded Simba? A lion cub, able to break the plight in his pride and defeat the usurper of the lion's throne (rock), fell in favor not only to the small spectators, but also to their parents. The atmosphere is complemented by an excellent audio accompaniment, most of which is awarded the Oscars.

Among those who voiced Simba and accompanied his adventures in animation, he himself Elton John.

Controversial origin

It is interesting that the very appearance of the cartoon was accompanied by a small scandal. So there was information that the "Lion King" was the first animated film that Disney had removed using a unique script. When creating some scenes, the scene of the flight of a large herd of antelopes was completely recreated, which can be called the fine work of experienced artists. But it is this moment of the tape that foretells the tragedy in the life of Simba's little lion.

Many critics found similarities in the script of the Disney masterpiece with elements of the Japanese animation series, although it was more in the consonant Japanese version of the nickname (Kimba).

Simba's childhood

Let's return to our key topic and try to find out who sounded Simba in the original both in the classical edition and in the three-dimensional reissue, since the announcement mentioned that there will not be any changes in the cartoon. Armed with this fact, we call the first voice sound Simba. This is the moment when the son of the king rushes to his father to find out the sad ending - the King is dead. Naive persuasion does not help, and the approaching uncle assures the lion cub that he alone is responsible for the death of the leader. We hear the voice of Jonathan Taylor. Who sounded Simba from the "King of the Lion" in the Russian version, it's easy enough to define: it's Vyacheslav Sukhov.

Simba's Youth

After Simba left the land of his native pride, the spectator appears a sad sight of the place where Mufasa (king) and hyena-ministers ruled that they obviously do not listen to the requests of the subjects. As the story unfolds, a new image of the matured heir appears on the screen, the voice of which was given to Matthew Broderick. The Russian viewer could not hear him, unless he turned off the dubbing, which can easily be done through the disc or file menu. It is Matthew's voice that will accompany the beholder to the final credits. Describe in detail the further plot, I think, is not worth it, because it is known to many.

As for the Russian dubbing, the adult Simba speaks with the voice of a well-known actor Yevgeny Ivanov.

In the future, the project "Disney" has two continuations, although the story continues only the second part of the trilogy, which came out four years after the original premiere of the first film. To reach the level of the original source, it could not, because the atmosphere of "Pride of Simba" did not reach the "King". Perhaps, the basis of the Shakespearean tragedy made history not so attractive. However, here Matthew was also the person who voiced Simba.

The result

The story of "The Lion King" was briefly told, and it became clear who sounded Simba from "The Lion King". The first film will send you to an unusual adventure in the company of a character such as Simba - a lion cub that can not wait for the moment when he becomes a king who is looking for his "life circle". The touching and unforgettable creation of Disney in the company of stars who voiced Simba, as well as Oscar-winning music (the best soundtrack of his time) is a wonderful pastime that will give the opportunity to "feel love tonight".
