Today in physics two girls started singing Hakuna Matata, and were promptly told to shut up my the student behind me. He said something like, "Would you stop Samba?" After a few seconds of confusion, they realized his mistake. "Did you mean Simba?!" They asked, and when he said yes, at least 3 others around him became horrified. Not only did he mess up the name, he said, "Simba, yeah, sorry I never really liked the Lion King."
How can you not like the Lion King?
It was like we reacted in the same way SpongeBob did when Squidward repeated three times that "I've never had a Krabby Patty!" Those words. In the same sentence. In that order. It just wasn't even fathomable.
The Lion King is an amazing movie, the first, the second, and the 1 1/2. It is a movie that is dear to the hearts of many of my peers, as it came out when we were young enough to fall in love with Mufasa's wisdom, Simba's courage, Nala's loyalty and of course Timon and Pumbaa's sense of humor. If you haven't seen it, watch it, because there is a large chance you'll love it too. Not only the story line, but the music that makes everything that much better.
My sister, who is not one to show emotions much, apparently cried about three times when she went to go see the play of it on Broadway. She said they did an amazing job, and got the same opinions from a friend who recently went to it in New York.
I've heard many people say that when they watch the movie now, they still cry during the most dramatic parts, even though they are old now and know exactly what is coming. It has romance, humor, and shows changing friendships and the maturation of Simba, a little naïve lion at first who turns into a great king. (320)
