  • 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.
