Once in every generation comes that rare movie which forever more defines that group's childhood. For the Japanese it was Kimba the White Lion. Unfortunately, those of us in America were stuck with the Lion King. Join the future stars of Broadway's the Producers, the voice of Darth Vader and, of course, the 3rd villain in the Die Hard series for a musical romp* through the film that paved the way for High School Musical 2.
The team from the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com mixes humorous nostalgia, irreverant observation, a touch of homage to classic MST3K and some down-right mean spirited jokes to take you through this little adventure that will have you wondering, just what the heck does "Hakuna Matata" really mean?
* Word has reached us this isn't so much a romp as it is a musical death-march through Elton John & Tim Rice's nightmares.
NOTE: This is for the theatrical release version of the film. If you have the "Special Edition" dvd, please follow the instructions on our FAQ to set up your DVD for use with this MP3.

Great riff. Been watching TGWTG for a while and when I saw this it was an instant buy. Great jokes abound in this riff. Only complaint is that it has some bad audio at times. Some of the riffs sound like they were recorded from across the room. But despite this minor complaint it is still hysterical! 5/5.
Mike Please bring in Doug for a real rifftrax!
I'm a big fan of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, so I was very excited when I saw this. The riffing is great, for the most part. It slows down a bit after the first (hilarious) 10 minutes, but it certainly never drags. It was a lot of fun.
I think I just had a heart attack, Thatguy doing an MSTING! AWESOME!!!! I'll have to buy it right away, and next up will be the AVGN with his own commentary
that would be interesting! i'd love to hear the AVGN make riffing comments on movies, or those lame Sega CD games that look like live-action movies.

Jesus H. tap dancing Christ on a pogo stick, I have died and gone to heaven. there is no way both of my two favorite things on the internet could be rolled into one. Both TGWTG and Rifftrax all rolled into one...not only that, a riffing on quite possibly the worst Disney movie ever made...seriously i pinched myself to see if I was not dreaming.
The Lion King is NOT the worse Disney film ever made. It's actually a perfect example of what should be shown from that company, instead of lousy written CGI films today. It's Chicken Little that's the worse.
If that movie's not your cup of tea, then at least show some concern to keep your opinions to yourself.
No That movie is a raping of anything disney. It's main character is a whiny spoiled brat who never changes, Timon and pumbaa are just idiots, the only good thing about that movie is the animation.
Ok, firstly, I'm not the one to be called a furry since you're the one with the avatar that shows an anime anthro.
Secondly, Simba's father was killed, he was blamed for murder, and his life was changed. I'd like to see you go through the same shit that he goes through before calling him a spoiled brat. Plus, if Timon and Pumbaa weren't idiots, chances are there wouldn't be any characters for comedy like other films.
Lastly, you don't know shit about what's the raping of Disney. You're excuses on this film are extremely poor. If you think this is bad, go rot your mind on Chicken Little. The characters were terrible, the storyline was filled with clichés, and the movie itself was hypocritical by the introduction. And ever since that movie was released, the company has made movies that were unoriginal like High School Musical, Hanna Montana, and the whoring of Pixar releases. I'd like to see you show me a better Disney film.
As I said before, keep your opinions to yourself. If you don't like the movie, that's fine, but it's NOT the worst Disney film. You also should watch your posts before doubling it, and spamming the page.
Oh and stop trying to protect this movie with your whiny furry fantard speeches. this movie does indeed suck really badly and im glad it's being made fun of here.
I take it you haven't seen Home on the Range... Also, I wouldn't be calling the quality of anything into question after awkwardly using the same figure of speech in two adjacent sentences like that.
