what's so wrong about the dance in the graveyard? I found it good as all the other scenes! (agree with Ralli, you thought it too, right?):) Can't exactly say wich scene that is better than another, every scene was the same for me: fantastic! I really wan't to see the whole show again. Why can't they record it and realese it on DVD?
Yea, I liked it. Then again, I have odd tastes. :evilgrin: You have no idea.Quote:

Oh, Frith forbid that they record and release it on DVD. They'll butcher it like they did to CATS. :eww: *huggles her CATS merchandise*
Then I have an odd taste too:p Sad that they don't do a DVD of it. I'd love to have one of them then;)
Hmm... well, next time; show 'em how it's done. Dance Nafklt, dance...Quote:

:bleen: :D :lol: ;) :evilgrin:
Flippin amazing :p
I saw it. Last night, actually. It was perfect.. funny when it was supposed to be, sad when it was supposed to be...
Yea if you couldn't tell, I don't have much intelligent things to say about it. It was that good.
The "Chow Down" and hyena breakdancing scenes were both random and unnessicary :confused: Entertaining, though. Rock IS dead. It lives in the Elephant Graveyard.
"Shadowland" scene was beautiful, they should've gone with that one for the SE instead of Morning Report.. e_e And "The Madness of King Scar" was hilarious xD To me at least.. "You have bucked up, royally."
I got some cool stuff... Scar "I'm Surrounded By Idiots" T-Shirt, a T-Shirt with the the TLKoB logo all silver-ized with gazzelles at the bottom, a poster, a keychain, a pin.. I would've bought the whole stand but meh, they wouldn't let me :p
Anyhow.. if it's ever around your area.. see it! And if you've already seen it.. see it again! :D
Oh yea. The guy controlling Timon looked like the Jolly Green Giant. Just thought I'd say that.
ahh, everyone is gettin to go see it, i feel left out :P i should start walking, maby i can make it to NY in a couple of months :evilgrin:
The disco dance thing was funny :lol:
I voted for CoL just 'cause I can :idiot: Naww.. I liked it.. :p
Is it not just all around great?
...I'm not even the biggest hyena fan (love'em to death, though) but I still ADORED Chow Down...:jejeje: I don't know why. Same with the little disco thingeh the hyenas do in Be Prepared. It makes me go 'yay' :o
...No dissin' teh Timon actor dude. Even though I must agree the resemblance between him and the giant dude is quite something...:eek:
I feel you, TakaTiger. Even if I COULD get to New York, I could NEVER afford a Broadway play on my salary. We can feel left out together.
BTW, TT, I did see your IM mesaage today, but didn't have a chance to respond when I realized I let my MSN on. Sorry about that.
I'm going to see it in the next school holidays woot!!
me... next 10 years ;)
or someone gonna take me ;)
:lol: I saw the tour! Dear Frith, I couldn't afford going up to New York City and seeing a Broadway show, as much as I'd LOVE to do it.

Personally, I like the idea of the Timon-puppet ^^Quote:

I think it looks really cute, shows the talent of the actor -if you really think of the puppet as a 'real' character/actor while watching it, like the lions for example and nealry forget that it is just a puppet, then you are lucky and see a very talented actor there that evening :)
And I've read the book of the person who's name 'mustn't be mentioned' and so I know what problems they actually had findig the perfect solution of showing timon in the musical, since he and the lions are of very different sizes. And it looks better than a timon who is as big as simba like in Disney on ice :p and that the actor behind timon is green...well, timon lives in the jungle, doesn't he? ;p
I watched the boradway show five times by now (the last time on april 4th) and again i was so fascinated! by now it is always like coming home if you sit there and wait the show to begin. they did a very good job by creating that wonderful show out of the movie!
well, just my one and only always lasting hate-scene was, is and always will be the waterfall-scene, though. Shows a completely insulting, primitive and wrong realtionship between timon and simba and a losing, failing and weak timon who fails even though he tries to keep pace. no discussions here, you'll lose anyway ;)
but all in all it is a great show! :D
I'm stubborn and I've got to say it. Even though I'll 'lose anyway'. :rolleyes: Luckily enough, I'm used to losing. In my eyes, I think it's probably a fact that a meerkat couldn't jump near as far as a lion or a warthog. Short legs compared to the other two. I honestly don't think you're 'losing, failing, and weak' if it's physically impossible to do something...>.>Quote:

*mauled*
EDIT - Oh yea, the only thing I didn't like about TLKoB: Timon and Pumbaa seemed to be just as one-dimensional as they are in...*shudders* the T&P show. *GAG* Maybe not exactly, but still. *shrugs*
*brick'd*
allright...heck, that the other forum where i posted exactly about the same thing some time ago seems to be down, then i just could have copied the text ;)
well, what i was talking about is that it is of course sure that a meerkat can't jump as far as a lion or a warthog, or eat as much as a lion as we've seen in tlk 1.5. BUT, i dislike both of the scenes, though.
since simba knows timon & pumbaa, so in this special case timon for many years, he should have known about his friend's abilities in my opinion. you don't have friends for discriminating them by showing them what they can't do in contrast to you all the time, that's no friendship. maybe some might be based like that, but i'd never imagine the friendship between the three like that. simba learned from his father that he should respect the other animals, especially also the smaller ones, ok, maybe he wanted to forget about his past so that he also wanted to forget about what he told him, but in my opinion there are so many little scenes you can see in the original movie, in which you can see that they are really buddies - and so even though I might be depressed, i'd NEVER cause a friend's death because of that, or make him do such dangerous things. in my opinion a friendship is based on trust and on the ability of knowing and respecting your friends' abilities. i always imagined simba to be a friend like that since he learned from his father to do so. maybe you can call those contests a kind of youth-games, if you want to find at least one positive thing in this scene, but the happenings at the waterfall are not a true fact and doesn't show a correct picture of the friendship between them. it was uneccessary and an insult to the friendship between them - just look at pumbaa who just stands there - doing NOTHING, watching his best buddie nearly die(!). it wasn't in the original movie, so i wonder myself why they came up with such a rubbish just to make the story a bit longer and to have 'thrill' in it. by letting timon nealry die they don't show anything of importance but shock others and i may point out that it made my little sister cry, a child of 9 years!
ok, by now i get used to the fact that disney lets timon nearly die in nearly every story, comic whatever, just read 'a snake in the grass' for example where he's nearly strangled by this snake two(!) times, but that's no reason for me to like those scenes, though!
ok, that was a lot but i hope you'll understand my opinion better now :)
I always thought maybe Pumbaa and Simba sort of went into shock. *shrug* And that Simba hadn't really been thinking clearly, he was too...eh...energetic? I don't know. He seemed awful upbeat and, of course, they had to bring him back down by making him feel guilty for nearly killing Timon because he already felt guilty for supposively killing Mufasa.
But I'm an optimist when it comes to TLK. :p I try to ignore the fact that they abuse my favourite little meerkitty. Hence why I ignore the fact that the T&P show, the comics, and the books exist (...even though I'm in love with Kopa xD; he t'is such a sweety). I'm in denial. *dances*
yes, you've made a point but i still think simba wouldn't have done that. and then using timon's weakness to show hero simba and the audience that he's too..energetic..that made me run up the walls, that's the thing :/ heck, then he should have mad friends with a...frog in the scnee before and that one should have fallen down that %&/(%&"(?$/%&(/"?$&%(/"$ waterfall.
and then it is even not enough that it is just a waterfall, no it is a waterfall with crocodiles! i wonder myself why they didn't put all the predators who live in the jungle around the bottom of it, too, so that timon would be afraid much much more?! e.e and that pumbaa normally always starts to rescue timon no matter how shocking the situation might be, is a true fact and we've seen that in many other cases, so why not here?!
i wanted to see the show because i thought: hey, maybe they make timon look like a little nothing in the comics, episodes etc, but at least in the movie, the original movie it wasn't the case and so this could be a wonderful thing to watch - until i found the book by the person whose name mustn't be mentioned and had a look at that one special page some months before i went to see the show. well, than that naive thought was gone, too.
disney has nothing else to do than showing how weak and what a loser he ist in contrast to hero simba etc., face it and please face it that i don't like that scene because of that, that's all. I see it through the eyes of a true timon-fan, not a lion-fan, that's it.
and well, ignoring all the comics, stories etc. is not always that easy, especially when it comes as an unexpected shock, like in TLKoB or in TLK 1.5...
oh, and another Kopa-lover? :D *wheeee* me, too! Since I've read 'a snake in the grass' I'm so much in love with the story around the story with the snake (that one sucks, nothing else to add). Telling Nala to leave Kopa with them to cheer him up! :3 that was sooo cute! :D (that also inspired me for my last pic btw ;))
What a nice little "debate" thing... :p
Yea the waterfall scene bugged me a little, but I can understand why Simba was "frozen".. and yea you said before that, they shouldn't expect Timpn to jump over the river.. I dunno. I was biased towards Simba in TLKoB, they made him a really likeable character in the play I think..
Meh -shrugs-
yes, simba maybe..but pumbaa standing next to him doing nothing as well...that was a bit...shocking...
and of course simba is a likeable character there, and well, besides of that special scene i liked him, too ^^
and i warned you that i would start to discuss that thing, not my fault :p ;)
