Yes it is almost 3am but this just needed to be said.
Having got the blu-ray today, I just finished watching The Lion King for the first time in... way too long. And wow. Seriously. Just wow. It felt like I was watching it again for the very first time... and wow. I can't even comprehend it's genius. The story, the characters, the emotion, the music, the landscapes, the humour... it's just pure cinematic joy and perfection from start to end. Nothing comes close to it. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing NOTHING.
Anyway, Disney-gasm part two tomorrow hopefully!
