Unlike most of the fans, I got to see the movie on the "silver screen". but it was not the first time it was played. I saw it when they re-released it for christmas, or whatever. btw, is it true the first time the movie came, that it showed mufasa actually hitting the ground and getting trampled? (a friend of mine likes to tease me saying i missed alot of stuff they omitted the second time it showed) anyway, i went with a friend to see some stupid movie- I don't even remember what it was... when the previews came on. i saw the little disney castle and thought, "oh, great! another wimpy kids movie, that was a waste of film." Let's just say I was amazed they played an entire song without little snips of scenes of the entire movie. let's just say i was _*AMAZED*_!!!!!!!!!! Never, in my entire life, did I feel such an overpowering yearning just to see a movie! I couldn't watch the movie we originally wen to see. all I thought of was that song, "Circle of life". My heart nearly broke when they stopped playing tlk in theatres. (i didn't know they were going to bring it back during thanksgiving season) I had nightmares where I paid for the movie, got to sit down, and my mom would drag me out, or these really big fat people would block my view- horrible dreams! But one day, I finally got to convince a friend of mine to go with me to see it... and cried through pretty much all the mushy and dramatic parts. the art was unsurpassed! the music- unearthly beauty! If i had the money... i would've bought every single thing that had the tlk symbol on it! and i still will, no matter how embarrassed my friend will get! today, i still yearn for tlk... basically fan art and fic are my fascinations now. I've moved on in life alittle, but the only yearning i've ever come close to like that- is the yearning to dispell my loneliness. (gee, i bet my future girfriend will just LOVE to hear this!) bah, well, I've wasted your time... I'll let you go. =) -Rindimo
