The first real movie I remember seeing in the movie theater was "The Lion King." My mom took my Bart, my neighbor Danielle and I to go see it. We were running a bit late. We didn't realize that the movie was showing on several screens, and we walked into the wrong theater just as Mufasa was dying. We thought we missed the whole movie, until we realized we just walked into the wrong room. I was a a little traumatized, but my mother doesn't actually remember this. So, obviously, I was excited when I heard The Lion King was being re-released in 3D. I was so excited about it, that I got a little angry when people younger than me were excited. You do not understand unless you did see it in theaters in 1994 (this, according to Brianna, is a qualification to date her: you have to have seen The Lion King in theaters the first time around. I'm not sure if she's joking). My friend Erica and I saw this 3D masterpiece this week, and it was worth every bit of the $13 dollar movie ticket. The only downfall was that I couldn't fast forward through Scar singing "Be Prepared" like I can on my VHS tape. It's even scarier in 3D. Seeing The Lion King in 3D made me even prouder to be a 90's kid. Sure, there's been a few good Disney movies since, but nothing like this. I know there's a lot of things in this movie that don't make any sense (such as, why do things catch on fire all the time? I used to tell myself it was because Africa was hot, but that doesn't make a lot of sense for real). However, I honestly can't wait for the day I have to teach some poor high school students Hamlet, and I'll use The Lion King as an example. You know, jealous uncle kills the king, the prince seeks revenge, moral corruption. It totally fits! So, if you don't have plans this weekend, go see this movie. Who cares if you will spend $13 dollars to see a movie you can recite word for word? It will be worth it.
