  • Disney sent a letter of thanks to Arni Samuelsson, the Producer of the Icelandic dubbing, for the work of the Icelandic team on the movie.

  • It took Þorvaldur Davíð Kristjánsson - the voice of Young Simba - 2 weeks to complete his recordings of the part, and he found dubbing extremely difficult. But he was happy in the end because that role opened up his interest in acting (source : Morgunblaðið - December 11, 1995)
