I saw the Lion King in 3D this weekend. It was an arm tingly-goosebump experience. I haven't seen this movie since I was a little girl. I went with my bf, brother, & young cousins.
Seeing it on the big screen with the music blaring was really incredible & I encourage anyone who's reading this to go out and do the same. (Well, you have until this Thursday to do so.) I felt like a kid again & was tearing up as soon as the movie started! I know some people figured it would be blurry in 3D, however we did not find this to be the case at all! During the raining scenes, it actually looked like it was raining in the theater! (Ok, like cartoon rain, but you know what I mean.) Sharing this great movie from my past with the little ones in my family was awesome too. I forgot how exceptionally well crafted the Lion King really is! The music, by Elton John, is outstanding ... oh it really brought me back to the good old 1990s! Watching the Lion King as an adult is a totally different experience than when I saw it as a kid, too. I get the spiritual message of the movie and th
e life lessons it teaches, including to respect nature and how we are all connected. I'm not a huge "Disney" cheerleader, but this film sets the bar. As anyone born in the 80's would say, "it's a classic!" If it's been a few years since the last time you've popped this tape in the VCR, I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy and watching it as an adult. You'll have a whole new appreciation for it, I promise. ;)
Mufasa: "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life."
That's what I'm talking about, baby! You know you love it!
