Trivia[]

  • During dubbing, Med Hondo was filmed aboard at the time the final image of the film was received. He couldn't recorded the last line. Thus, Fred Taïeb, co-founder of Dubbing Brothers studios, had to record Rafiki's last line himself.
  • The version of "Be Prepared" interpreted by Bernard Tiphaine is a demo version of the song, this version is not a Quebec version, Bernard Tiphaine had to lend his voice to Scar but the test didn't finally convince the cast of the French version and he was replaced by Jean Piat.
