The Lion King


I have always loved this movie, for as long as I can remember! (It came out when I was two, so I suppose I couldn't remember a time when I didn't know it) I saw it on Sunday in 3D with two great friends, and I think we had more fun than the kids in the audience did!

Mufasa's always been a hero of mine, and I named my first car (I'm sorry, the Secondary Family Car ....thatwegotthreedaysafterIgotmylicenseandIwastheprimarydriveron) because the car was regal, a beautiful golden-brown, and proud. (I loved that car....*sniff*)

Likewise I've always loved Simba- he's so cute and fluffy as a kid, and is voiced by Matthew Broderick and has great legs as an adult. (Both are total wins). And look how big and cute those ears are!


I've had this Simba for about 16 years (hard to believe!!!) and while I wouldn't openly admit it, he was definitely coming to college with me. He's a bit bald, though- when I was about 5 I decided to give him a haircut, and was completely shocked when it didn't grow back!

Once when we lived in Brooklyn I left him on a park bench (he and I are still in therapy for the emotional scarring) and insisted on going back to find him at bedtime- luckily for all involved, he was still there!

If you haven't seen this movie, go watch it. If your kids haven't seen it, GO BUY IT FOR THEM. It's so great!
