GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

The Lion King, Allers and Minkoff, 1994

I was underwhelmed when I watched it a few years ago.
I wasn’t overwhelmed this time.
But I enjoyed it.

I still can’t shake my distaste of monarchical systems.
But I appreciated this story of growing up into responsibility.
And it resonates more with a growing boy in the house.

Plus, it’s gorgeous.

Especially this spectacular rendition of I Just Can’t Wait to be King.

Chalk up another #win for Disney+ high def.
I might end up a fan of musicals soon enough!
