[PaulsRightNut]

This is a pretty awesome movie.

[Bob Payne]

k.

[Mistle]

Agreed.

[anthonydarko]

I laughed when Simba's dad died.

[-whisp-]

My all time favourite Disney. Everything in it is so well done, it's perfect.

[alis21]

favourite songs anyone?
be prepared & i just can't wait to be king are mine

[BryterJonah]

Overrated.

Hunchback, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, and a couple more sooo top it.

[gloriousmuse]

My favorite Disney movie ever. Till this very day, I still know the movie word-for-word. I am not ashamed!

[crimsonandclovr]

i wrote a paper on this movie about the Biblical allusions in it when i was in high school. found a lot more than i expected to find

[optimusrob]

This movie is so great. I Love it

Elaborate.

i went to a Catholic high school, so it was for my religion class. i don't remember most of what i wrote, but if you're open minded enough, you'll see some Biblical allusions. Some feel a little forced, some are kind of obvious.

some that i can think of at the top of my head:

-Scar killing Mufasa = Cain and Abel
-Mufasa dying to save his son = Christ dying to save humanity (reminds me of Narnia too)
-Simba being held up on Pride Rock, in front of everyone = kinda like Baptism, when you're presented and welcomed to God's Kingdom
-Simba fleeing = Moses wandering around beginning a new life, and returning as a leader
- Simba returning when he's all grown up (i think there's a scene when he goes up Pride Rock again when he's grown up) = kinda like Confirmation, when you take on the responsibilities you have in the Church
- Nala finding Simba first = this might be a little out there, but this scene totally reminded me of Mary Magdalene finding Christ first when He resurrected
- Timon and Pumba helping Simba = the idea of outcasts doing some good work: the Good Samaritan

ahhhh i can't think of anything else

beauty and the beast > lion king = aladdin > hunchback

[on a frequency]

my personal favorite disney movie is the little mermaid.

then cinderella, then beauty and the beast.

[Jake Denning]

I remember accidentally dropping the remote and it happened to land on BET, and for some reason, some wack kids decided to make a song called "Crank Dat Lion King". I was tempted to throw the remote through the TV just to make it stop

[anthonydarko]

Only kidding of course ;)

[abandonship]

Pretty good movie. Be Prepared is an awesome song.

[BryterJonah]

Is the musical any good?

[bradsonemanband]

Till this very day, I still know the movie word-for-word. I am not ashamed!

me too homie

[gloriousmuse]

Is the musical any good?

It's phenomenal. The costumes, stage designs, music etc is breath taking. Definitely check it out on Broadway. It's worth the money, trust me.

[amour faux]

Pretty good movie. Be Prepared is an awesome song.
agreed.

[0101]

Favorite Disney movie. Beauty & The Beast and Cinderella come in second. Aladdin next.

[Sarcasm]

My favorite as well.
Then, its Alladin and Toy Story. :-d

[hbmmark]

but if you're open minded enough, you'll see some Biblical allusions.

if you're open minded enough, you can see biblical allusions in a piece of toast.

Is there not a thread for the 3d re-release/blu ray yet?

[blimpcityhero11]

Will be going to the first weekend of the 3D showing... I want to FEEL like I'm being trampled with Mufasa.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Mufasa's death was a childhood tragedy. SIMMMBAAA.

[bradsonemanband]

so excited for the 3D release!

[wall e]

Jeeze, spoiler tags next time

[KellyGleason]

I just posted the ending to this movie on my facebook. The best scene, the best music, the best ending..ever.

[hailthewarrior]

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

I may rock this song harder than 95% of what's on my iPod.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Jeeze, spoiler tags next time
Hahaha, my apologies.

[wall e]

Hahaha, my apologies.

Just kidding, obviously. My favorite movie as a kid. Big ups to the Sega game too.

Oh I know. And the Sega game was amazing. I had it on Gameboy too.

[bradsonemanband]

just got tickets to see this tomorrow in the theater! i'm so excited!

[crimsonandclovr]

I wanna see it in 3D again. I swear, there were more adults in the theaters than there were kids. Everyone was singing along and clapping while singing and laughing as if they haven't heard the jokes before. It was greatttt

[caveBEAR]

Is it true there's a 'new' extra song (from the Broadway play or something) in the movie this time around?

[popdisaster00]

Really wanna catch this. In 2D if possible, haha.

[sodamnclever]

I saw it in 3D today. Being one of my favorites movies growing up, I think I was more excited to see it than my niece was. Would love to see it at night during the week, rather than a Sunday afternoon. But I forgot how much I loved this movie. Everything about it.

how was it in 3D? i saw it in 2D this weekend and it ruled. but i think it could actually be pretty sweet in 3D, if its done right...

[bradsonemanband]

nope. its the original version. it doesn't have that stupid "Morning Report" song shoved in there.

[Plus155]

I was at the theater this weekend seeing something else, and I saw a bunch of douchey high school kids wearing lion ears and tails.

3D is a big hit or miss for me, but this was definitely done well. Not too many screen popping moments, but what was done was just enough. Better than Toy Story 3D I'd say.
