The development of The Lion King coincided with that of Pocahontas (1995), which most of the animators of Walt Disney Feature Animation decided to work on instead, believing it would be the more prestigious and successful of the two. [34] The story artists also did not have much faith in the project, with Chapman declaring she was reluctant to accept the job "because the story wasn't very good", [50] and Burny Mattinson telling his colleague Joe Ranft: "I don't know who is going to want to watch that one." [51] Most of the leading animators either were doing their first major work supervising a character, or had much interest in animating an animal. [17] Thirteen of these supervising animators, both in California and in Florida, were responsible for establishing the personalities and setting the tone for the film's main characters. The animation leads for the main characters included Mark Henn on young Simba, Ruben A. Aquino on adult Simba, Andreas Deja on Scar, Aaron Blaise on young Nala, Anthony DeRosa on adult Nala, and Tony Fucile on Mufasa. [9] Nearly twenty minutes of the film, including the "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" sequence, [22] was animated at the Disney-MGM Studios facility. More than 600 artists, animators, and technicians contributed to The Lion King. [25] Weeks before the film's release, the 1994 Northridge earthquake shut down the studio and required the animators to complete via remote work. [52]

Protests were raised against one scene where it appears as if the word "SEX" might have been embedded into the dust flying in the sky when Simba flops down, [205] which conservative activist Donald Wildmon asserted was a subliminal message intended to promote sexual promiscuity. Animator Tom Sito has stated that the letters spell "SFX" (a common abbreviation for " special effects"), not with an "E" instead of the "F", and were intended as an innocent "signature" created by the effects animation team.
