Raptorpat Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 been on a Lion King binge the past two weeks, particularly the "live reaction" version which is way more traumatic even if it's all CGI in the john candy valley ANYWAYS... mufasa died again and the rescue-desperate escape-death scene always gets me down even when watching it ten times a week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 another thought about the [original] lion king is that I think it was the basis of my concept of aging. like simba and nala grow up, but everyone else stays the same. so like in my mind, kids grew up and adults kind of just stayed the same. kids would grow up and eventually like 'join' the adults, and at some point adults would just like transition into old people I guess? it sounds really silly to actually say that out loud, but that's basically how the movie is animated - none of the adults age while the kids grow up. but even though I know that's not true, it was enough of a foundational concept in my brain that it factors in when I get all "holy shit i'm watching everyone age in real time and people like my parents who weren't old are old now and people who used to be old are dead and I'm still aging even though I leveled up to 'adult' years ago and we're all just on the same conveyor belt to death". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until you start hearing dates for public projects that won’t be done before you’re dead. That’s hitting the big time right there oh, you’re welcome 🫠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I love The Lion King, but that scene took something from me. There is a clear delineation of my childhood pre and post this movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insipid Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Lion King is overrated af. Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and the Beast, and Hercules are much better Disney Renaissance films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
