LION KING
VIKALI'S TOP PICKS

---

	Description
	Of course, I have to have the sun shot. It's so iconic of The Lion King (films)!
	And there, the Great King Mufasa, definitely one of the coolest cats in the sky. Gotta love him.
	Simba not looking too fluffy, Nala looking beautiful (in contrary to some other scenes of Simba's Pride), and best of all - Kiara, with her paw raised in curiousity to see what Rafiki's muzzle feels like.
	Nala looking quite lovely, Simba not looking like a giant furry orange, Timon and Pumbaa standing to one side, and Rafiki presenting cubby Kiara in front of a relatively small crowd whilst Mufasa's milkweed floss circles them both.
	Princess Kiara in a less than silly shot, looking quite... cub-like. And stuff.
	Heee, I love this still. Cub Kovu, being all cocky and handsome (for a juvenile) and so-obviously-being-Scar's-son-for-those-good-looks.
	What can I say? I like the thought of Kiara being eaten.
	Playful, enticing, sexy Simba. Very 'murrrrr'.
	"We are one, you and I, we are like the earth and sky! One family under the sun..." I love this scene. So sweet. :)
	Lovely savannah painting, the sun going down, and Kiara sitting all contently on some lovely reddish rocks.
	'Oh crap, don't kill me'. I love Kovu.
	Ahh... the definitive Zira. Prowling, sinister, red-eyed... kinda scary. Yet also kinda pretty. Well. Kenta-like. You get a waffle if you know who Kenta is.
	Mom of the Year, 1998.
	Still Mom of the Year, 1998.
	I love the shadowed look across Zira's form, watched by her Outlander lionesses whilst in such as Scar-esque pose.
	A pin-up I'm going to get for my bedroom wall.
	It's the climax of the villain's song; what is there more to love?
	"Nope, I refuse to do one more line unless you give me a song."
	Evil, sexy Kovu. Look at the venom in his gaze. Grawr.
	This lovely panorama which I will do all big'n large, one day. Disney should make a poster of this; it'd look awesome!
	Awww... father-daughter love... not that kind of father-daughter love... but the nice kind. Awww.
	Kiara looking rather pretty, in my opinion!
	This is one of my favourites for a very, very strange reason... I like how they've done the bones. Those, and the cliff. Strange reasons from a strange cat!
	This makes me happy.
	Again, a mixture of a well-drawn title character and a simple gorgeous background; look at those golden fields of grass!
	More lovely, rolling golden grasses; loved for essentially the same reasons as the picture above.
	"Roasty toasty princess! Roasty toasty princess!" Pleased to meet you, Princess Nuka.
	My favourite Zira shot, with her looking rather devious/villainous/sexy, with the firelight giving her form a special glow... and there's evil Kovu beside her. Luff him too.
	Flaaaaaaames. Fire. And scared Kiara. Woo!
	If I haven't stated enough times, I love evil Kovu. He's not too bad (still hot) when he's all nice and stuff... but he's not hawt.
	Cocky Kovu.
	*goes weak at the knees*
	I'm not sure why, but this still reminds me of Scar SO much... that and the devious little smirk on Kovu's muzzle.
	Zira climbs trees.
	I love the positioning of characters in this shot, though I'm not so hot on Mufasa's character design... I do love the look of terror upon Simba's face, though.
	Scar!
	"Trust me..."
	Like father, like son.
	A bit of lioness tush and a lovely background; the central cave of Pride Rock, with a rather nice starry backdrop outside.
	A painting that I love.
	Something I love even more - my FAVOURITE shot of Kovu. Lit up, snarling, growling, and looking evil.
	... then he's just kinda bored.
	I love this like the burning Nuka still. Timon is not my favourite character.
	Take time to look at Kiara, Kovu, and Pumbaa's expressions each in turn, and you'll see why I love this so much.
	As close as you'll get to a collective 'oh crap'.
	Their first kiss.
	Kovu looking all nice and happy with Kiara.
	Kiara looking quite lovely and Kovu looking all peaceful, happy, and content.
	Kovu being inappropriate.
	Kovu missing a very sultry pose from Kiara.
	Young love. Kiara's sweetness and Kovu's sadness complement each other perfectly.
	Monkey in da grass! I'd love to be walking along one day, then have an arm shoot up out of the grass and poke me on the nose!
	Rafiki being Rafiki.
	"Hehe, yes? You follow Rafiki?" TUG. TUG.
	Hilarious expressions from Kovu and Kiara.
	And some slightly happier ones.
	I'd love to find him on my doorstep on Saint Valentine's/Single's Awareness Day. :D
	Happy, laughing Kiara. I think I have an obsession with her being happy.
	Favourited for the priceless expression.
	Ra-fi-ki (rah-fee-kee) -noun a baboon native to western Afrika, noted for their painted faces and tendency to destroy places of natural beauty.
	"In Upendi!"
	"Where animals all do the conga!"
	Good ol' winking Simba. The basis for the picture that is going to be displayed on the front page on Saint Patrick's Day.
	Ignore Nuka. Ignore Vitani. Focus on Zira. Ziiiira. Murr.
	GIVE ME LOVE PLZ!
	Aww... dead Nuka. : (
	Simba promptly 'spazzed out', as the term goes, and fell over.
	Kiara - for a change - seems most puzzled by this.
	Violence, scarring, blood in a Disney film!
	Oooh... scarred Kovu. Nice.
	Pretty cheetahs!
	A bigger group of animals turn up for one single lion's judgement than at Kiara's presentation. That must really be a bummer.
	Lionesses and King Froofy-Mane.
	I like the expression on his muzzle, here. The look of having his entire world crumble about him... the only way to describe that, but damn, I feel mean.
	Here's where the song bursts into it's awesome chorus.
	Kovu looks back towards Pride Rock, hounded by the lands' occupants.
	Simba, always watching. ..
	... from a safe distance behind all the other animals.
	The best bit in the entire film, mirroring the part of The Lion King where Simba sees his father reflected in the pool.
	Made especially iconic by Kovu's rejection of him, there and then, putting his foot through Scar's image.
	Little king, always watching.
	Poor, rejected Kovu.
	Kiara really makes me feel sorry for her when she's sad.
	I mean, look at this still; framed beautifully by the sides of the niche from where she and Kovu first kissed.
	Lovely starscape, gaze sweeping the heavens... standard stuff of brilliance.
	When Kovu finds his bride. I do like this shot, for some odd reason.
	Awww... happy Kiara.
	Awww.... happy Kovu.
	Big lion nuzzles!
	Another great big kiss on the muzzle.
	The lovers, gazing at each other in a... loving way. That lovers do. Very sweet.
	And this is the image I'm using on the front page for when it's Yule, for the significance of the snow-like sand, the love, and the full moon.
	"We are one..."
	Crazy, crazy Zira. I do like her, though.
	Nom nom.
	Grawr!
	Seventeen highly-trained lionesses, versus one lion. And he fends them all off.
	"You ain't saving me, sister!"
	"Wheeeeeeeeee!"
	Lots of kitties roaring. From left to right - the beautiful Queen Nala, the royal marshmallow King Simba, the handsome Price Escort Kovu, and the noisy Princess Kiara.
	A definitive picture for Simba's Pride. Mufasa's brilliance shining down upon his son whilst milkweed encircles him, blowing his mane in rather a lovely manner.
