Disney’s The Lion King is turning 30 years old this year. The simple story based loosely on Shakespeare’s Hamlet tugged at our heartstrings and became an instant classic. The beloved film has become so familiar to us that we tend to forget that the voices behind the animated characters belonged to some of the biggest stars of the time. Thomas H. Smith tracked down footage from various sources to bring us a side-by-side look at the voice actors behind The Lion King with the movie scenes of their iconic dialogue and songs. Those actors include Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Robert Guillaume, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and others, as well as the wonderful singers who worked on the movie. Some of the clips are from the original recording sessions, while some are from recreations, as those actors were obliged to revisit the experience many times. -via Laughing Squid
