"I Just Can't Wait to Be King" is a song from Disney's 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. It was composed by Tim Rice (lyrics) and Elton John (music). It was performed by Jason Weaver, Rowan Atkinson, Laura Williams, and the chorus. Elton John himself also recorded his own version of the song for the film's soundtrack.
The song is performed near the beginning of the film by a young Simba and Nala to distract Zazu, as well as to enunciate Simba's desires to become king.
It also appears in Disneytoon's 2004 direct-to-video midquel The Lion King 1½. Timon and Pumbaa are disturbed by some noise from outside of their home, which is actually Simba, Nala, and the animals singing this musical number. Timon becomes angry and hits the leg of an elephant supporting the tower of animals. The elephant jumps in surprise, causing the tower to collapse and Pumbaa then realizes what Timon has done and pulls him out of the way. Timon and Pumbaa's home is ruined by this event. Oddly, this film establishes that the events of the song happened, when the original film implied that the events of that sequence didn't in the aftermath of the song.
•The song is a large contrast from the film's non-musical segments, as emphasized by the song's usage of lively colors and sounds. Also, the animals and backgrounds are notably more surreal as opposed to how they looked during "Circle of Life".
•As of the IMAX re-issue, different crocodile animation is used, though the original crocodile animation is still featured in the Disney Sing Along Songs version of the song and in Disney Parks shows like Disney Dreams!.
•Zazu's spoken line "Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair" is a possible allusion to the working title of The Lion King, which was King of the Beasts.
•Though the film is set in Africa, some of the birds in the bushes that Simba used for his mane resemble a laughing kookaburra (front center) and a greater green leafbird (lower left). In real life, laughing kookaburras live in Australia while greater green leafbirds live in some parts of Asia; thus, those birds are not native to Africa in real life.
•Other birds in the same scene resemble a turaco (upper left), a giant kingfisher (back center), and a pair of wood hoopoes (right).
•At one point near the end of the song, there are giant anteaters participating in the musical number flicking their tongues out. Giant anteaters are not native to Africa in real life and thus, are only found in South America. A better choice for a long-tongued animal during the part where the animals are towering up would be aardvarks or aardwolves since the film is set in Africa.
