  • Lion King (The King of Animation) Review/Retrospective

    Akuna matata friends and welcome to our first movie review! The Lion king and when I say that I’m talking about the original hand drawn masterpiece from the 90’s that we actually watched on VHS growing up. And on this podcast we pretend the “live action” one doesn’t exist for fear of tainting the original. The Lion King is a cultural icon of the Disney canon and is one of their top movies as well as play. Today we're going to be discussing everything from the iconic soundtrack to the art and as always the background info.This is a subject Julia and I have been passionate about for over a decade and it’s about time we let all that love pour out.

          This show proves that a kids show doesn’t have to be fluff Avatar the Last Air Bender is unanimously, among millennials and gen z alike to be one of if not the best cartoons on Nickelodeon.

It was 3 seasons of nonstop action and adventure, wonderful characters and was revolutionary for the time. Today we are here to gush about our favorite moments and talk about it’s future.
