Im 5 years old again

Today, i embarked on a safari down memory lane. As i watched The Lion King, i was a five year old boy again, absorbed into the beautiful world of Africa and the magic of talking animals. Everything was so fresh, so new, yet so familiar at the same time. I thoroughly loved every second of it. I think ive finally been able to understand the movie on a whole new level. I actually understood the entire plot, and Scars sarcasm. Its amazing how much wit there is hidden behind such a simple children's tale. I dont recall ever laughing this hard watching it before, but then again, i think half the time i was simply laughing out of nostalgia. Just hearing Timone speak for the first time again triggered so much emotions within me, and i just couldnt help but crack up. Honestly, what a beautifully made movie. The rich setting, the colourful characters, the witty dialogue, the amazing music, and the beautiful messages of responsibility, love and friendship just simply warms the heart. This movie will always deserve a special place within my heart, and i hope to watch it on the big screens again in 10, 15 years time with my children, and they'll enjoy it just as much as i know i will.
