The Lion King 3D

Adding 3D to old movies is stupid. (It just is, Lucas!) However, seeing The Lion King in theaters again is a treat. I avoid watching this movie because every time I watch it I cry AT LEAST once. But it's such a powerful and amazing story. It's so freakishly well done. However, I would not take my children to see it unless they were five, and even then.... It's scary, it's sad... it's very "adult," (but not in a "Hey there, how you doing?" way.) 

If every movie steals it's plot from one of 5 other stories, then The Lion King  is definitely Hamlet. You can't go wrong with Hamlet. You just can't.

Disney kindly inserted a number of songs in PERFECT areas of the movie to make the movie lighter and less anxiety-inducing. However, Elton John sucks, and most of the songs aren't OMG-I'm-dying good. Oh, they're catchy and stuff, but they're no "Court of Miracles," or "One Song," or "Just Around the River Bend," or even "Under the Sea!" They're just kind of lame, especially "Be Prepared." I was however de-freaking-lighted that they didn't include "The Morning Report," which can be found on a few Lion King DVDs, and I think the Broadway musical.
