Trivia[]

  • The original version is hosted by Jiminy Cricket, while the 2003 version has title cards with a male voiceover by Keith David reading them.
  • Professor Owl's introduction to Jiminy Cricket uses the exact same introduction footage from The Bare Necessities.
  • Jiminy Cricket's segments use stock footage from You and Your Sense of Touch, From All of Us to All of You, I'm No Fool in Water, You and Your Food, and You, The Human Animal.
  • In the US laserdisc release, Jiminy's introductions to "Part of Your World" and "When You Wish Upon a Star" are different. While the "Part of Your World" introduction has the same line, the "When You Wish Upon a Star" introduction references "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" and "Part of Your World". In addition, during "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat", the scene with Shun Gon playing piano with his chopsticks is cut out due to the allotted length of the CLV disc.
  • This video was released on the same day as the reissue of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which had the same ink label.
  • This video features the remixed opening & closing.
  • Not counting Christmas sing-along volumes, this is the first volume that doesn't feature a song written by the Sherman Brothers.
  • The 2003 DVD release includes the Vocabulary Game and Guess That Song.
  • Known as El Rey Leon: El Ciclo Sin Fin in Spanish, released in Spain. Also known as El Ciclo de la Vida.
  • Known as Le Roi lion: Le Cycle de la vie, released in France, also released in Canada.
  • Known as Der König der Löwen: Der Ewige Kreis in German, released in Germany.
  • Known as Il Re Leone: Presto Sarò Re in Italian, released in Italy.
  • Known as De Leeuwenkoning: Wacht Maar Tot Ik Koning Ben in Dutch, released in Netherlands.
  • Known as O Rei Leão: O Ciclo da Vida in Portuguese, released in Brazil, also known as Siclo Sem Fim in Portugal.
  • With a Pocahontas sneak peek alongside Circle of Life previews.
    • The Pocahontas sneak peek contains two shots that are not in the final film, the second one was re-instated in the 10th Anniversary Edition as part of the deleted song sequence "If I Never Knew You".
  • One of the Spanish versions (not the original one from Spain) can be found as a bonus feature in the 2003 DVD release and is like the 2003 release with the title cards.
  • The US and Canadian releases of this tape use the new title card. On the UK release, the "Sing-Along Songs" title card uses the 1990 color and font, while foreign-language releases use the old 1988-1993 logo, but with the remixed opening and closing theme.
  • "When You Wish Upon a Star", as well as its introduction, uses footage from the special From All of Us to All of You, where Disney characters commence to Jiminy Cricket singing.
  • "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" is reused from The Bare Necessities, but uses newly updated lyrics.
  • "Following the Leader" replaces "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" in the UK version.
  • The timing of the lyrics for "Part of Your World" and "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" are different in the 2003 version; although the text still uses the same font as the original.
  • In the late 1990s, Blockbuster Video released a triple-length VHS of the Sing-Alongs Series, available exclusively as a rental in their stores, and featured Circle of Life on the cover. This videocassette contains the contents of the Circle of Life, Colors of the Wind, and Topsy Turvy videos. It is also considered to be the rarest of all the Sing-Alongs releases, not being commercially sold in stores.
  • The Italian release does not have a remixed opening theme, but it still has the remixed closing theme, unlike the 1993 print of Heigh-Ho, also had that equation as well.
  • The title card's lettering is strangely in all capital letters only in the English (UK Only), French and German releases.
  • The 2003 DVD included a musical instrument play set with paid order when purchased in a televised 2 DVD collection with Sing a Song with Pooh Bear and Piglet Too!.
