So... I was just sitting here watching The Lion King and decided I might as well write a meaningless blog post.
I love this movie so much. I think if I had to choose one movie to watch for the rest of my life, I would pick this one. You know, when I sit down and watch this, I want to cry in the beginning just because I love this movie as much as I do. My heart still breaks every time Mufasa dies. I love it when Mufasa's spirit visits Simba near the end. It makes me feel good when Simba finally realizes who he is.
As I got older I figured out who did the voices for Simba and such. At times I try not to think of the actors as I know them now so I can still enjoy the show as I did when I was younger.
I remember when they had Lion King toys at Burger King one time and I got a Rafiki toy and I found it most amusing that he had a blue butt.. I laughed hysterically. But then my mom or dad said "And how would you feel if you had a blue butt and everyone was laughing at you?" I'm pretty sure they said that anyways. I'm also pretty sure I still laughed about his blue butt anyways.
When I got to go see it in 3D I cried a lot of the time just from excitement. When I got it on DVD I discovered that the Blue-ray had bloopers/ outtakes, I was so excited. I found them to be quite hilarious! It was really neat to see something so funny on a movie I already love.
I still have my Simba stuffed animal I got the first time I went to Disney Land. That was like... almost 18 years ago. (wow that makes me feel old.) Then Ash got me another one when they went to Vegas. It's so cute. :)
I had Lion King everything when I was little. You know, bed sheets, comforter, lamp, pillowcases, light swtich covers.... I wish I could get them again. I'd use them. Even now.
As a kid I found it most amusing they wouldn't say the word 'farted'. Well, that's what I thought they meant and I'm sticking to it. I also don't pay attention to all the crap about how you can see the word sex in it. I think it takes away from the movie. But whatever...
I can't believe that I just sat here and wrote a blog post on The Lion King...
