My sister and I saw "The Wild" today. VERY blatant TLK sighting in there. There's a part where the animals are running down a street in NY and they show a sign for TLKoB. Several times. I don't know though. Quite a bit of the scenes looked like a nod to TLK in a way.

Edit: My sister is watching "Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels" on FoodNetwork, and she called me but when I got there it was gone. Apparently, there were some drinks or something at a restaurant called "Paradox Lodge" called a Simba and a Nala. I'm sad I missed it.

There was an SP Vhs in one of my dreams...

There was juuuuuuust a clue on Jeopardy. I didn't hear the whole answer but I head Trebek say "Timon" and then "meerkat" and I turned around in time to hear one of the contestants say "Who is Pumbaa?" The category was "Side Kicks" I wish I had seen the whole thing. That's two in a row that I've missed.

A while back I was watching some old tapes we recorded at home, and the cast of Boy Meets World came on to introduce the new ABC Saturday morning line-up...

Shawn: Cartoons! I don't do cartoons!
Cory: So I guess you didn't see the biggest hit of the summer?
Shawn: Which one?
Cory: You know... that lion thing?
Shawn: Yeah, I loved it.
Cory: Cartoons!
Shawn: You mean... they weren't real lions?
Cory: Do real lions sing?
Shawn: I don't know, I've never been to the jungle!
Cory: Do they sing at the zoo?
Shawn: They're self-conscious at the zoo! Everybody's staring at 'em! At night they sing.
Cory: How do you know?
Shawn: It says so in that song, "The Lion Sings Tonight."
Cory: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"!
Shawn: Sure, 'cuz he's tired from singing!

Meh, I guess you just had to be there.

[HasiraKali]

That's funny Kihari. I like the bit about them being self-conscious at the zoo.

I Watched to new Simpsons episode on Sunday and they did an Itchy & Scratchy play based on TLKoB.

I don't think it's in here yet, but I saw a new episode of "Joey" last week (seizon 2), and he said something along these lines:

We eat the cows, cows eat the grass, we mow the grass ... It's the circle of life.

On yesterday's episode of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert was explaining "the food chain" and at the end, broke into song: "See? It's the CIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!"

I <3 Stephen.

I was watching a prestigious horse show today, called the Rolex 3 day event. One of the horses was named Lion King II, ridden by a Jonathan Holling. I seriously doubt it had anything to do with SP, a lot of horses are just named after other horses. Like there was a horse named Windfall II, after a horse, Windfall (I) So I think the horse's mother or father, or some other significant horse, was named Lion King. Wether or not it has anything to do with the movie or is just a creative name I dunno, but I thought I'd point it out

ooh cool my cousin Victoria played in that one "The little shope of Horrors." it was really funy i believe she was one of the singers in it

LAst time I saw anything even remotely relating to TLK was when TLK 1 1/2 came out.....to be refectly honest, I thought it was kind of cheesy for being connected to such a great film, and Ireally think that the directos could've tried to be a bit more serious in heir handling of the flashbacks of some of the most memorable scenes in that movie....it would've added a whole new light to Timon and Puumba's character, instead of showing them as corny morons who fail to really notice what's going on. But maybe they meant to do that.....which saddens me, seeing where the industry has gone in the past few years, and what directors have to resort to to get some more viewers. Still, granted, it was funny at certain moments, but only barely.

[Zephyr Nexus]

People are right; you don't see TLK out there much anymore, but recently I did notice a Rafiki plushie sticking out of a (girl) friend's purse. (I asked her about it; she actually said it was one of her teacher's).



Also, we watched TLK in my Spanish IV class (en espa?ol) as a break from working back near Christmas.

Anybody else catch the "Circle of Life" reference from Pixar's Cars? The rusted cars are joking about it toward the end of the film when the final race occurs.
