    Hi everyone.

    I'm not the greatest at writing intros, so I'll try to keep this as short as I can. What can I say about TLK...it's my absolute favorite Disney movie. I saw it in theaters back in 1994 and became an instant fan. My childhood would've been a lot duller if The Lion King hadn't been a part of it. I have so many wonderful memories associated with this movie. I'm also a big fan of the sequel, Simba's Pride. I remember seeing the VHS clamshell in Walmart and practically begging my mother to buy it for me. haha

    Aside from The Lion King, my favorite Disney movies include 101 Dalmatians, Bambi, and Oliver & Company. I'm also a fan of Don Bluth's work and many of Studio Ghibli's films, especially Princess Mononoke.

    Nice to meet you all.

    Welcome to our humble home

    Ahh... Princess Mononoke. It was the first Studio Ghibli movie I've ever watched and I really enjoyed it.

    Welcome to Lea!

    Oh, man, I would love to have seen TLK in the theater as a kid (guess seeing it in 3D in the theaters sort of makes up for it, except for the "as a kid" part). And Princess Mononoke is awesome.

    Thank you, Vidan. Nice to meet you! And yes, seeing The Lion King in theaters as a kid was a great experience! At least you got to see it in 3D..that's pretty cool.

    Welcome to the forum! Woohoo, more '94 fans I too saw it as a kid and fell in love immediately.
    That which you manifest is before you.

    Lol, yeah, I think the majority of us here are 94ers, the Lea demographic skews a little older. Welcome aboard!

    You might be right about that CGW. I'm also one of those "long-term" Lion King fans out there
    And as most of you, I immediately fell in love with the movie. The opening was just so breathtaking.. I've never seen anything like it since.

    Now that I think about it, I would have been a bit older than the target demographic even then -- maybe that's why I never saw it in the theater?

    Call me a '95er then, because I did end up seeing it on VHS, at school, of all places. No VHS player at home growing up, so that was literally the only time I saw it. I was in 8th grade, and we were paired up with 2nd graders as "buddies" to work on art projects or some such (it was a K-8 school). They put on The Lion King one day while we were doing an activity and I think I just ignored what ever else was going on because it was really good. Before seeing the movie, I must have already heard the Elton John versions of "Circle of Life" or "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" 100 times or more on the radio. Flash forward to 2003 when it was released on DVD, that was my "true awakening".

    In any case, not to go off on a tangent too much, I agree with Nathalie and others in saying it's good to have more 30-somethings around to reminisce with!

    One of the kids in my 6th period class said he'd never seen TLK when I was making references and quoting Mufasa last week. Instead of other fun things, his class has chosen to spend their last two days watching TLK so he can "salvage his childhood" as one of them put it.

    I am also someone who remembers seeing it in theaters when it came out, I was around 6 years old. I recall that I knew from the opening cry of Circle of Life that it would leave an impression. xD

    Anyway, you are among friends here. Welcome!

    Welcome to the forum, I'm glad that we found another 94's viewers. I believe the only line that attract me is Scar's "So be it."

    Anyway Welcome, enjoy your stay here and post often.
