Childhood Favorites

What is one of your favorite childhood movies? My all-time favorite is The Lion King. Oh! There’s nothing like it. It has the best intro every. Take a look, and listen to this: The Lion King intro

I actually like every song on the soundtrack. OK, so, I’m sure most have heard of or seen this movie at least once. So I won’t get into what it’s all about, but I will share some of my favorite scenes.

My favorite scenes:

• -Simba and Nala visit the shadowy place (elephant graveyard) and laughs in the face of danger.
• -Mufasa saves Simba and Nala from three hyenas.
• -Timon and Pumbaa find Simba in the desert and they sing “Hakuna Matata”. And then, as the song goes on, Simba transforms into an adult lion.
• -Simba’s reflection in the water turns into Mufasa.
• -Rafiki hits Simba on the head with a stick with the first swing of it. But with the second swing, he misses, because Simba learned from the first hit, and ducked.
• -Nala tries to eat Pumbaa. 
• -Simba pulls Nala into the water.
• -Simba’s decides to spare Scar’s life, but tell him to run away and never return. (But we all know Scar is evil, so he attacks Simba and gets thrown off of Pride Rock.)
• -Rain falls in the Pride Lands as Simba steps up as king.
• -The circle of life continues with the birth of Nala’s son.
• -All of the scenes where there is singing. 

I truly enjoyed this one as a child. And still do as an adult. In the movie, the scenery is so beautiful. And it’s about lions, the kings of the jungles (or should I say kings of the “plains”?). It’s about love, courage, and destiny. In the end, good overcomes evil, which is always nice.  

So, tell me, what’s one of your favorite childhood movies?
