Not a big LION KING fan. There, I said it. RAGE if you must but I didn’t like it when I saw it in theaters and revisited it as an adult and didn’t like it then either. Just a little too…Disney. It’s like a Disney movie made in a lab by a bunch of technicians working to recreate the perfect “Disney movie.” But I digress…
Remember those animated outtakes that Pixar tacked on to their first few films? They were charming and wonderful because that’s just what Pixar does. But now, as Disney is re-releasing THE LION KING in 3D this fall, they’ve taken a crack at these animated outtakes (a bit, I should note, that Pixar retired long ago), in a viral marketing effort.
You might wonder why I’d post this if I’m so down on the whole idea. Well, the rest of the internet seems to love this video and I realize I’m in the tiny minority of people who dislikes one of the most beloved animated films in recent memory, so I’m guessing you may like it to. Enjoy?
