The Lion King

When I was little, my favorite movie was probably The Lion King. I watched that movie at least once or twice a day. My older siblings to this day can recite the movie by heart and my older sister still won’t watch the movie. I ruined it for them, Oops. Oh well. I still love the movie. It one of the best Disney movies plus the sequel is a good sequel, not one of those crappy sequels where they really shouldn’t have bothered to do it.

Lion King makes me happen even when I’m depressed. 

See? Me Happy!

You: "Why do we care if you're happy?"

Me: "Caus you should! I make all the good things happen in people's life!"

Anywho...

Me and my friends make up dances to different song sometimes just for fun. We decided to have a competition with some other friends who liked to dance with Disney songs. My group chose Lion King (I SO didn’t influence the decision. ;D ). I still remember all the steps to the songs. For “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” I was young samba. My hair was in high pigtails and I got to run around the stage like a little kid. I had so much fun with it! My Favorite part in the routine was when my friend who played Zazu pretended to cut off my pigtail when he sang “I’ve never seen a King or beast with quite so little hair” because, if you know me, I have super long hair (do you see the ironicness of it?).

I love how the story of The Lion King is based off of Hamlet. Did you realize that most Disney movies are based on other stories? Most of the princess movies come from the Grim Brothers Fairy Tales? Hercules, (spelled Heracles in the real Greek myth) of course, based off of the Greek God.

Speaking of Greek Mythology, I saw Immortals last Friday. It was good but 300 is MUCH better. There was a ton of blood, which is usually a good thing, but there was this scene with this tongue and *shutter*, that was just disturbing. Was good and I was satisfied.

Back to The Lion King. Me and my friends got bored Sunday night (last night) and decided to watch it (it’s been a SUPER slow past few weeks for us. :P ). I was talking along with the characters WHOLE movie, singing every song and even dancing some of my dances. I must say, next to Quest for Camelot and a few others, The Lion King has to be one of my Favorite movies!
