Although both shows were inspired by the hit Disney film The Lion King they took on two different performance styles . The Legend of the Lion King Show at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort was a stage performance retelling the story of the film using life size puppets , while the show at Disneyland Paris was a Broadway inspired performance that used human actors and featured popular songs from the movie . Contents 1 Legend of The Lion King at Walt Disney World 2 Legend of The Lion King at Disneyland Paris 3 References 4 See also Legend of the Lion King at Walt Disney World ( edit ) The show debuted in Walt Disney World 's Magic Kingdom on July 8 , 1994 ; taking place in the same theater that is currently being used for Mickey 's PhilharMagic show in Fantasyland . The Legend of The Lion King replaced the 3 - D movie Magic Journeys , which was shown in the Fantasyland Theater for 6 years from December 1987 through December 1993 . This show featured what Disney describes as `` Disney Humanimals '' which are `` larger - than - life figures that look just like their animated film counterparts '' . The Mufasa Disney Humanimal measured seven feet long from tail to tip , six feet tall , and was perched upon an 18 - foot Pride Rock that rose from below the stage . The stage for show was 125 - feet wide and was bigger than the seating area in order to permit the use of giant sets . The attraction closed on February 23 , 2002 to be replaced by Mickey 's PhilharMagic . Legend of the Lion King at Disneyland Paris ( edit ) The Legend of The Lion King at Disneyland Paris ran from 2004 to 2009 and played at the Videopolis Theater located in Discoveryland . This Broadway - style show was similar to the musical and the Festival of the Lion King at the Disney 's Animal Kingdom Park with its elaborate costumes and dance numbers . The show ran for 30 minutes and had performances in both English and French . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ The Lion King ( franchise ) Jump up ^ Kurtti , Jeff ( 1996 ) .
