*NOTE* This episode begins with a ~12-minute overview of "Aladdin" to help set up the story of production on "The Lion King." To skip directly to The Lion King, please jump ahead to 13:37 (click "Show More" for episode description and series release schedule)

Double Fine’s Greg Rice is joined by Louis Castle, co-founder of Westwood Studios, for a full play-through of the beloved 1994 platformer "The Lion King." Louis tells the story of how, with a small team and a tight schedule, Westwood developed the spiritual successor to the 16-bit classic "Aladdin" at a time when action platformers were still king and the Disney Renaissance was in full swing.

DEVS PLAY is an original series presented by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions that combines the running commentary of a traditional Let's Play with the perspective of experienced game developers. Each episode this season will feature at least one member of the Double Fine family with occasional appearances by developers that actually worked on the games being played.
