Every time I think about animated movies being SERIOUS AND DARK I think about Rock and Rule and how the hell am I going to trick someone else into watching it?
Your review of the Lion King is by far the funniest thing I've read all week.
The only huge issue I have with that scene is that Nala looks really retarded when she gives "Come Hiter" eyes. Not only that, when they roll down the hill and Simba looks at Nala and then Nala's neck GROWS LIKE FIVE FUCKING FEET LONG
WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT ABOUT???? THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL ABOUT FIVE DOLLAR FOOT LONGS.
No srsly, I guess because of the EXCITEMENT and ADVENTURE and FUN and SONGS and stuff. Last time I saw it, it seemed like a grand majestic scene at Pride Rock at the start, and another one at the end, surrounding 90 minutes of juvenile bullshit. It doesn't even matter whether it's ripped off of Hamlet or "Kimba" or everything or nothing, it's just pure cheese. The whole "circle of life" concept is a promising one, and someday there'll be a movie that seriously explores it, but The Lion King ain't it.
I should see Fantasia again some time. I've already watched and enjoyed the Italian parody/tribute/homage/what-have-you Allegro non Troppo, and I'm a sucker for experimental animation set to music. (Why hello there Yellow Submarine, let me sit right down and jizz myself to your trippy song sequences. Yeah, that's the ticket.)
I had a hard time with this particular viewing because I refused to accept that the dopey animals had never experienced a goddamn DRY SEASON before. THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING, STUPID LIONS

Especially if you think that the gargoyles are a product of Quasimodo's deranged mind.

but otherwise it infuriates me because where it isn't creepy it's really, really insipid
