Reminds me of The Lion King
I watched as an adult a couple years ago and my eyes were opened. I use to love the kid Simba, but I can see him almost like a spoiled brat. I understood why adult Simba was so unsure of himself even though he was bigger and stronger. Why Mufasa was so forgiving of his son even though he starts so much trouble.
I may have to check out the C&H comics again. Yukon Ho was the best!
- LanceH 8y agoAh, the Lion King. A movie about the non-representative government suppressing the underclass through force, by divine right.
- Retra 8y agoTo be fair, it is the animal kingdom. And being something as lethal as a lion probably has its advantages there.
- kibwen 8y agoI always do appreciate attempts to deflate the Disney-esque romanticization of monarchy, though in this case The Lion King is just supposed to be a retelling of Hamlet.
- LanceH 8y agoI get that it's just a movie and should be enjoyed without overthinking since we're talking about singing animals and glossing over the whole prey-predator thing. The real crime being the inanely happy songs thrust upon parents everywhere. I know that Disney had moved toward reaching out to groups that had not been represented in movies and this is a good thing. Then they trot out a movie of inclusion with a theme of being born to your station and any attempt to rise will be squashed. I get that everyone is suppose to empathize with being the special child, but if he's special and locked into his role, what about everyone else? tl;dnr -- I don't like musicals :)
- mcphage 8y ago> The real crime being the inanely happy songs thrust upon parents everywhere. Bah! The best song in The Lion King is "Be Prepared"
