The Lion King is still to this day, my favorite Disney animated feature. It has an amazing soundtrack and the opening sequence is probably the most well done of all Disney movies as it not only invoked a strong emotional response from my part, but demonstrated the importance of Simba’s birth and the power of Pride Rock.
Although I can understand why people would enjoy Frozen more as it seems to embody a strong message for young females to believe in themselves and independent, the Lion King will always be the original movie that made me fall in love with Disney and taught me the importance of family, surviving through hard times, and believing yourself

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie because it once again proved that women can be funny! Women do not have to play the role of the ditzy, clumsy character to get a laugh, but she can be an intelligent woman who is simply trying to get her life back together. It was extremely relatable and my favorite part was when she was arguing with the teenage girl at the jewelry store!

Very interesting article. At first, I was upset, like many fans from around the world that it did not end the way everyone expected it to. Barney and Robin was suppose to live happily ever after and adopt a few kids and Ted and Tracy were suppose to sit by a fireplace surrounded by their loving children like from one of those 50’s infomercials. However, I soon realized that by turning the tables and making such a huge plot twist, stimulated conversation and frenzy and thats what any writer should aim for. Its not always about giving exactly what the audience wants, but what can improve the story and allow viewers to feel a genuine connection. Men around the world can understand Barney’s sudden revelation with his baby girl, men who have lost wives can comprehend Ted’s pain, and Robin, wishing to have to be a successful career woman and putting everything on hold. The episode was emotional, but importantly it touched upon what reality really is: it doesn’t always go as planned.
