Friday Movie Rec: Disney's The Lion King.

Why is it cool?
- It's Disney!
- Some of the best animation ever.
- EPIC voice actors!
- Elton John's music.

Favorite characters:
- Scar. Because he's Jeremy Irons in evil lion form!
- Zazu! Because It's Rowan Atkinson for once having absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Bean!
- Mufasa. Because he's just that awesome.

Best moments:
- The songs.
- The Elephant Graveyard.
- Simba taking back Pride Rock.
- Every moment Scar is on the screen.

Me and the movie:
This movie is just so amazing. I bought it for a horrendous amount of money on VHS years ago in English, rather than the Danish dub. I watched it to a degree where the tape is just worn. So very worn. I haven't gotten around to getting it on DVD. I think I might just be too sentimental about it. I watched it so much that for a fair few years I could recite the entire movie, sing all the songs and hum the entire soundtrack (which I bought on CD, of course...) I was a little bit in love with the boy who voiced Simba and I was a little horrified years later when I realized he was one of the sons from Home Improvement. *shudder* But his voice was loverly!

Epic quotes:

Simba: Hey uncle Scar, guess what?"
Scar: "I despise guessing games."
Simba: I'm gonna be king of Pride Rock."
Scar: "Oh goodie..."

Scar: "Oh DEAR, I've said too much!"

Zazu: "There's one in every family, Sire. TWO in mine, actually. And the always manage to ruin special occasions."
Mufasa: "What am I gonna do with him...?"
Zazu: "He'd make a very handsome throw rug."
Mufasa: "ZAzu!"
Zazu: And just think: When ever he gets dirty, we can take him out and beat him.

Timon: "JEEZ it's a lion!"

Phumba: "Home is where ya rump rests!"


Why watch it?
If you like Disney or animated films at all, you need to watch this. Keep the tissues ready though. It rivals Bambi in the sob-story section.
