On the last day of term at my primary school it was always a fun day. Students were allowed to bring board games into class and play them or we could all watch a movie we had brought from home. Just as long as it was appropriate. Generally it was a really nice way to kick off the holidays.
One year, around 1995 or 6 I think, one boy brought in a copy of “The Lion King”. Of course, it’s appropriate the teachers say, so we’re allowed to watch.
Except this copy was different. The copy had, and I’m not making this up, a laugh track.
I remember very clearly a scene (and a not particularly funny one at that) where Simba runs off (no, not Mufasa’s death) and the laugh track kicked in. One student even remarked, “That’s not very funny
”So has anyone else heard about this “special edition” or even seen it themselves? Keep in mind that I’m Australian, so this might have been an Aussie only thing (who knows why). I’ve tried searching for information for this but so far I’ve found none.
i remember watching a lion king bootleg last century and when simba was chased by the hyenas, one girl shouted "run simba!". i thought it was nala but alas it ain't. i also get to see aladdin with a laugh track and applause in the end. maybe just maybe, the bootlegger had a hi def camcorder for that time? don't get mad, just my theory
