Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay that unpacks what makes \u2018The Lion King 1\u00bd\u2019 such an exceptional Disney sequel.&lt;br\/&gt;&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>If you\u2019re at all familiar with the dark, drama-filled vortex of traditional animation history, you\u2019ve probably heard of the \u201cDisney Vault.\u201d For the uninitiated and unaware, this was a marketing concept that aimed to keep a tight, vice-like grip on how long Disney classics \u2014 that is to say, animated features \u2014 could be purchased for sale on home video. (While primarily an intangible principle that governed the release of VHS tapes, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2017\/02\/the-disney-vault-is-real-heres-what-its-like-inside.html\">Disney\u2019s archives<\/a>\u00a0is also called \u201cThe Vault.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>The concept was effectively an echo of what the company had been practicing theatrically since the mid-1940s: periodically re-releasing features to the big screen whenever the powers that be deemed it fit. When VHS, the coffin-shaped home video system that revolutionized the domestic film experience, hit the commercial market in the 1980s, Disney execs were initially reticent to \u201csully\u201d their cherished backlog by allowing\u00a0<em>anyone<\/em> to own a copy.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the House of Mouse learned there was a boat-load of money to be made, the detractors relented and the concept of the Disney Vault was born: films would emerge for a limited time, creating a sense of scarcity that no doubt boosted sales. The Disney Vault <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/3\/7\/18254942\/disney-vault-streaming-service-plus-animated-live-action\">ran its course in 2019<\/a>, when Disney+ provided the company with a new, modern, way to keep a chokehold on their IP.<\/p>\n<p>This is a long walk to get to today\u2019s topic. Namely: the original wave of Disney animated sequels that came out of the studio\u2019s foray into the home video market. And while Disney was certainly precious about their canon of masterpieces, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> understanding (on the part of anyone with eyes) is that there was less care, money, and effort allotted to these DTV sequels.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure there are defenders of 1997\u2019s <em>Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas<\/em> out there. Heck, I\u2019ve heard people go to bat for 1994\u2019s <em>The Return of Jafar<\/em>. But as someone who grew up during this Disney DTV sequel period I\u2019m here to get one thing straight: one sequel reigns supreme.<\/p>\n<p>No, it\u2019s not <em>The Lion King II: Simba\u2019s Pride<\/em> (which comes in at a close second), it\u2019s the\u00a0<em>third <\/em><em>Lion King\u00a0<\/em>sequel: <strong><em>The Lion King 1\u00bd<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Bradley Raymond (hot off the sequels to <em>Pocahontas\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>), <em>The Lion King 1\u00bd\u00a0<\/em>takes place during the events of the first film, but it is told from the perspective of Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella) who narrate\u00a0<em>their\u00a0<\/em>side of the story. I\u2019m not saying that there\u2019s a\u00a0<em>Roshomon\u00a0<\/em>to <em>The Lion King 1\u00bd\u00a0<\/em>pipeline, but I\u2019m also saying exactly that. The film follows how the pair met, the duo\u2019s attempts to raise their adopted lion cub son, and what they were up to while we were following Simba\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p>Irreverent, fourth-wall breaking, and delightfully low-stakes, <em>The Lion King 1\u00bd\u00a0<\/em>rules, and if you won\u2019t believe me, maybe you\u2019ll believe this feature-length video essay:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CThe_Lion_King_and_Disneys_Sequel_Curse%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cThe Lion King and Disney\u2019s Sequel Curse\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lion King and Disney&#039;s Sequel Curse\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rZi9I2o4Vpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" data-inc=\"3\">This video on the incredible Disney sequel\u00a0<em>The Lion King 1 \u00bd<\/em>\u00a0is by Jace, a.k.a\u00a0 <strong>BREADSWORD,<\/strong>\u00a0an LA-based video essayist who specializes in long-form nostalgia-heavy love letters.
