When Royal Rules

simba jesting playfully with the 'Strasbourg born' cigone
Timon - "i can see what happen"
pumba - "what??"
Timon - "and they dont have a clue!!"
pumba - "oh well"
Timon - "they fall in love and here's the bottom line ;
our trio down to two!"
(kindly refer to the scene when Simba met Nala for the very first time after he ran away - The Lion King 1)
These are among the few lines that i could still memorise from the film. Even until today, Lion King remains sitting proudly on the throne of my favourite Disney movies chart - just where the king belongs ;-) 'Snow white and the seven Dwarves' goes second, apparently upgrading her princess' title to Queen heh. the layout of the film is pretty simple actually, but it caught my attention with awe all the same. May be this is what they meant by 'the complex beauty of simplicity'. yeah whatever.. It reminds me strongly of my siblings too. There this one time they kept playing this movie over and over again and surprisingly never got bored!! (well, now you know the reason i manage to remember those lines perfectly.hehe)
i think the way they potrayed the animals were just fitting with every species character. (e.g hyenas as the bad guys, pig as the dumb lad (sorry pumba ;p), elephants, zebras as the timid ones etc etc). Nemo is not bad either, but honestly i was just interested in Dory's character. She really stole the spotlight from the clown fish. hmm ok lah c ni dulu. allez Mufasa!!
