There you go. You never watched any Disney movies of course you would not understand the magic. I expect there is some kind of childhood thing that was magical to you.

The Lion King is the most magical to be though. ;)

Yep.

Lion King is the most magical to me too.

Thirding. One of my favorite movies in the history of ever. <3

I agree, it's pretty magical how The Lion King managed to steal so much from Kimba the White Lion and still got away with it.

Disney did it better. :)

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed!

Concept or not, Lion King is still a retelling of Hamlet, and Kimba is not.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean that stealing is okay.

Meh. The plots are nothing alike. You could argue a better case that Disney stole Lion King from Shakespeare.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The only thing they 'stole' was the concept of a lion cub. The plot is Hamlet with a little Richard II thrown in there. But nice try.

Yes, they are completely different, it's not like they plagiarized several scenes or something:

Now stop being a blind fanboy/fangirl.

Wait, are they seriously comparing a picture of one main character, who is a cute lion cub, to the other main character, who is also a cute lion cub, and saying Disney ripped off the idea of a cute lion cub? Not only that, but a cute lion cub with a father? Alert the authorities!

(Anonymous) 2014-01-26 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
That one is pretty facepalming. I wonder why they thought it was a good idea when there are a lot of actual ripoff scenes, they didn't need to add that one.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard legitimate arguments in regards to the concept art, but past that, they are not really much alike.

And before someone says anything about Kimba vs Simba, apparently Simba just means "lion" in whatever African language.

Yep, in Swahili.

It's okay.

Honestly though... I watched a ton of Disney movies growing up and had sing-along tapes and so on, and I have like zero nostalgia for anything Disney-related except Flight of the Navigator. My "magic" was all in video games, pretty much, despite having seen all the Disney stuff. It's definitely not a universal appeal.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-26 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my goodness. My nostalgia for Flight of the Navigator is so intense. Was it secretly terrible, or was it good? I'm afraid to watch it again and find out.
pantswarrior: (thumbs-up)

[personal profile] pantswarrior 2014-01-26 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Seems like I have watched it again since I became an adult and although some of it is kinda cringe-worthy, the majority of it is just so overwhelmingly nostalgic that I really don't care, and even thinking about it now makes me want to watch it again. And I think that's what they mean by "magic". ;)

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a horrible experience at Disney - to sum it up, everyone I was with reverted into being children. It killed the magic for me. :(

At least they didn't turn into donkeys. D:

Oh God! That sequence TRAUMATIZED ME. JFC Pinocchio is terrifying shit. And the original book is even worse, Pinocchio gets full on HANGED. Like, lynched. I was scarred for life at the age of 10.
