The Lion King

[tokyogirl]

oh! and the part where you had to jump on the little pieces of land over the water fall and under the ledge....so frustrating!

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

yes I know!!!!!I only ever got to like...the stampede level and then I'd quit b/c i got so frustrated

 

[tokyogirl]

that's why it helps to have a brother who does nothing but play video games so he can get you past the really hard levels

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

see...I never had a brother to do that...I dont even have any siblings...had to do it ALL myself ^,^

 

[tokyogirl]

awwww

you can borrow mine if you want

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

hm...me wonders who would be getting the better deal outta that

 

[tokyogirl]

i have no IDEA what you are implying! *adjusts halo*

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

setting your halo back on your horns eh?

 

[tokyogirl]

me? never anyway, i was just going through my old toybox today and found all my old lion king toys. i even found my simba one from mcdonalds where you wind up his tail and it turns and he rolls over.

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

man,I used to have SOOOOOOOOO many toys of the three Hyenas.I loved the Hyenas,I loved them good

I voted Simba, but my children like Pumbaa because of all of the "special" sounds he makes.

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

hehe pumba's cool stuff though.Has anyone else seen the preveiws for Lion King 1 1/2 ?????? It looks...."special" to me.I dunno why they keep milking lion king,but man they should really stop soon.

 

[tokyogirl]

it's not just the lion king. i think that they've had so many problems coming up with good original ideas they just keep beating the old ones till long after there's any juice left in them. nemo was the first massively successful summer movie they've had since the lion king. and you know they'll be a nemo 2, even if it's only a video release

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

yeah you're right.Thats why I dislike disney now.I mean...they barely had anything original to begin with(go twisted fairy tales) but to beat down what they do have is just horrid.

Cogsworth - And as I always say, if it's not baroque, don't fix it!

Wow this thread has gotten really long!:alienooh:

I've seen the previews for lion king 1 and 1/2 I think it sounds interesting. Personally I'm going to see it as soon as it comes out.

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

well theres no doubt it looks interesting.I'd actually want to go see it for the fact its timone and pumbaa,but I just dont like the fact they keep milking the cow.

Be fair Disney has never made an original animated film!

I think the nearest they ever came was Pocahontis, not because it was original but because it was so far from the truth to be fiction. Lion King is Richard III performed by cute furry animals.

Have to agree about doing the theme to death. I got more than fed up with the Timone and Pumba shows. Certainly not interested in a half baked sequel

 

[meaghan_maxwell]

well...I just saw another preveiw for it.Something I NEVER realized about it...is its just Timone and Pumbaa's comentary on the first Lion King.Like WTF Mate?!I thought it was their story before they met Simbaa.Nope,no such luck.This makes it even WORSE! And Ray,as for them never having an original film,I had to choose my words carefully there since I didn't know where a few of them came from.
