Evanmy question is why was Elton Johns verson of the Circle of Life cut from the movie it was featured on the soundtrack but never actually heard in the film the only Elton John verson that was actually heard in the Lion King was Can You Feel the Love Tonight which was featured at the end credits but his verson of the Circle of Life however was not featured in the movie only on the soundtrack album becuase in the movie Can You Feel the Love Tonight was the only song that was sung by and not the other songs do you know why that was .

To be blunt, it was never meant to go into the movie. Elton John recorded three songs as demos to pitch to Disney; those are the three you hear on the soundtrack, including his version of "Circle of Life." The reason "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" was put into the end credits is because Hans Zimmer became busy with recording other film scores and was unable to write any more music to use for the credits; Disney put in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" to make up for it.
But "Circle of Life" and "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" were never even considered to be put into the film. They were just included on the soundtrack as an incentive to get people to buy it.
