How Music Affects Film – The Lion King opening scene

How's the mood during sunrise in the opening scene from: "The Lion King"?

Is it mystic, is it kind of sad, silly in a way, dark and scary, or is it in fact majestic and heroic?

Let's see if the music can alter the mood of this well-known Disney film.

We all know that music can affect our mood. Music is used to affect us in commercials, in stores, in restaurants, on the radio, on TV, and even when you're standing in an elevator. But can different types of music change the way we feel when watching the same clip over and over?

That is what these videos are all about. It's an experiment: How big an effect does music really have on film? First we see the clip without any music, then five different types of music, and at the end we watch the clip with its original intended film score.
