She said she had just seen the movie for the first time that afternoon on the way to SA. I was like... "You know that movie is 11 years old right?" And she said "WOW! It's older than me!" Made me feel old. I've known it for half of my life.

Well, since my grandma kept claiming it was 'evil' I didn't see it until it aired on ABC last year during the premire of the SE.

Well In band my friend was playin In The Jungle on his sax last week and he showed me how to play it on my trumpet, then I showed my other friend who plays tumpet how to play it. So when ever we get bored in class we do a little duet thing together

Hey, where'd you get that picture of Simba? Is that from Kingdom Hearts 2???

[Tategami]

roku: yup, i got the pic on a diffrent forum, but lea has a section about it being in KH 2.

and another TLK sighting i found was a baby simba cub plushie at a flea market, i should go and rescue these poor plushies.

Plushie rescue (tm) is why I am not allowed in GoodWill alone.

I was just watching tv today and a newspaper called the sunday times is advertising their free cd that comes with their next issue.
The free cd they where advertising is a TLK audio book

In this academic enrichment program I'm in, there's a book we're reading called "A Hope In The Unseen." Here's the mentionable quote/sentence:

"...the Ballou chorus as it launches into a soulful rendition of the spiritual "Amazing Grace," changes course midway into the Afrocentrically sensible theme from Disney's Lion King, and finishes raucously on "got no worries, for the rest of your days, it's my trouble free philosophy, Hacuna Matata."

Yes, I too got grossed out by the Hucuna typo and the messed-up lyrics. We were annotating our books, but I was being lazy, but as soon as I saw that, there was ink marks everywhere...

Here's another for our favorite older red-maned lion:

"...who speaks with the same practised precison of James Earl Jones..."

That one got lots of inkmarks...

I was looking through my spanish 2 book and there was this picture of a guy going to the movies and under the picture, it told you how to say how to go to the movies.

The movie that the guy was seeing was "The Lion King".

[Tategami]

remember the nala plushie i said i found on a post?
well i went to rescue her, only to find that she's tied to a cross...
so someone must have been killed and either nala symbolized that the person was a child, or the person loved nala/TLK.

Got one!

I am watching a show called "Maximum X", which is a "home video" show where all the videos are extreme and amazing. Today, the theme is "Extreme Animals". They just showed one segment where a wildebeast got seperated from it's herd, and was being attacked by seven lionesses, as a big lion watched on. Suddenly, the herd charged the wlionesses, scaring them away fromt he wildebeast. Amazingly, the wildebeast climbed to it's fet and took off with the herd. The camera then went back to the lion, and the announcer said "Well, this lion just watched his lunch walk away. Oh well, Hakuna Matata! When you are a wildebeast, the Circle of Life sucks!"

Have one from Will and Grace...

James Earl Jones just got done performing a skit...and Karen is trying to get him to realize that he sucks at acting...

James Earl Jones: But I was Mufasa...
Karen: (laughs)...Mufasa?...Honey...More like Boofasa...

Not exactly a sighting, but it had my laughing my butt off.

I was watching a wrestling program, and they had a guy called "The Boogeyman" cutting a promo(interview). Boogeyman is supposed to be a evil, insane, and super creepy voodoo master. Imagine a black guy with his face painted blood red and moster eye contacts. He has red dye dripping out of his mouth, and is carrying a rubber human heart. In his other hand he is swinging an alarm clock on a chain. He approached a female wrestler called Lita who is a guest on the show. He speaks:

"I am the Boogeyman and I am coming to get you." *Insane laugh* Then he starts singing a very familier tune...

"No one knows the trouble I've scene... Nobody knows my sorrow...

Girls runs away screaming, as the Boogeyman laugh madly, and the screen fades to back.

The sighting is the tune. It was the exact same tune Zazu sings while locked up in the bone cage by Scar. Just wierd to see this monster of a man singing it.

this has to be the best one. it's in chicken little! im not gonna spoil and say where, but you deffinetly cant miss it.

Last year in my history book there was a page saying how movies affect our lives and it mentioned The Lion King. Also in my literature book from 2 years ago there was a picture of a kid in a TLK T-shirt. and it's mentioned in The Da Vinchi Code.

[HasiraKali]

EDIT: My bad.

[Kopa]

Today in my local newspaper in a section called 'Today in History' it said:
1997 - "Lion King," opens at New Amersterdam Theater NYC

Not sure if this was already metioned, but ive just watched the simpsons and near the end of the episode, Bleeding gums murphy's face came out of the clouds and started to talk, then shortly after mufusa appeared and started to talk, along with darth vader which i found funny because it was in a simpsons episode
