The King has Returned.
Hi guys, since my Beauty and the Beast: Film vs Musical made it on the front page. Now, it's the Lion King's turn to write about, since I only got the movie soundtrack version. I will also write the musical version too.

The Movie Version

Okay, I grew up with this movie since my childhood days, I love the song and got the soundtrack for the film. My favourite score is 'Under the Stars', because the music is soothing before gradually becoming more inspirational, African style!
I love the story very much as it introduces me about African culture, that I had always wanted to go to South Africa one day. It also teaches me about leaving the past behind!

The Musical Version

While the story-line remains the same, there are some additional songs that I really love and they are They Live in You and Endless Night. The former was in the Lion King 2: Simba's Pride as it's intro, what a great way for a movie introduction!
Endless Night is a very sad song, but one of the most excitable moments was Scar vs Simba till it leads to the dramatic ending. I really want to see this musical live so badly, maybe either on Broadway, West End or when they're doing an Asian Tour.

They Live in You!

So there you have it, the differences in the both the stage and the movie version, enjoy reading them and watch the show too!
I wish I could see this musical one day!

Now, I'm not saying that The Lion King 2: SImba's Pride doesn't have some problems. Because it does. I'm only saying that I don't think it has plot holes. Most of the following arguments I originally posted at IMDB message board in a debate, as VampireOutlaw.

You see, if something that's left untold does not affect the plot at all, then it's not a hole in the story but only something that could be further explained just for the interest of it.
I'm starting to think this film does not have plot holes at all - that its only continuity problem is that they remade the ceremony scene and the cub's...

Pride Rock appeared menacing in the dark of midnight, black clouds circling the structure. The air stood completely still, along with the tall grass. Then, in the blink of an eye, it all changed. Cristal drops of rain turned to giant diamonds, shattering on the savannah ground. The still air turned into frightening winds, blowing away branches from trees. The breath-taking silence was broken by a roar of pain.

In the den of Pride Rock, all crowded a dark brown lioness. She was breathing heavily,her black-rimmed ears pinned sharply back. She dug her claws into the ground, gasping it tightly.
