Yup. I watched this. First time in a decade. It's not as magical as I remembered. It is good. But, perhaps the magic is wasted on the old. Things I noticed this time were: JTT is young Simba, and Matthew Broderick is old Simba. Raffiki the baboon is in fact rather creepy. As always, Jeremy Irons is amazing. BE PREPARED!
Ratings
Kids: See it
Shakespeare: See it (feel ripped off 400 years later)
Elton John: You have a baby now. See it
Jaded beyond belief: Skip it
Nostalgic: See it
On a scale from dial-up internet connection to wireless connection on your smartphone, I give The Lion King 3.45 out of 5 stars.
