Ah, 'The Lion King.' Back when Justin Taylor Thomas was a star. Now I don't know where he is. I feel like I'm going to meet him on a Craigslist hookup or something. I'd be like, " Can I get an autograph?.. And that HJ you promised." OK, OK. I'll stop being nasty. It really was a special time when 'The Lion King' came out. Everything was firing on all cylinders. The animation, the music, and the story. As someone with daddy issues, I could connect.
You can see echoes of 'The Lion King' in all sorts of movies now, as the children affected by that movie grow up to become filmmakers. Poor souls. At one point in their lives they had a real future. 'The Lion King' is just some other Shakespeare story anyway. Everything is.
