Elton John Had A Hot Take (At The Time) On His Oscar-Winning Lion King Song, And I Think It Paid Off

Movies



The Lion King franchise is such a huge hit for Disney that it has struck gold for the studio twice. Now, the live-action version is even receiving a prequel, Mufasa. But one element the new movie wont have is music by Elton John, who once had a hot take on his Oscar-winning song from the film. And I think it ultimately paid off.

There’s a famous story regarding the time Elton John first heard how his song, “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?”, was going to be used in The Lion King. Apparently, he took issue with it and complained that Disney was using it all wrong, leading to the studio going back and trying again. The master musician now says the anecdote isn’t quite right, because originally Disney wasn’t going to use the song at all.
