🍿 Welcome back to Zillennias Wathces... On this episode, Kaylee and Lian watch two classic Disney films they’d never seen—The Lion King and Sleeping Beauty—and compare them. They start with Sleeping Beauty, criticizing its slow pacing, repetitive princess tropes, and messaging. They then discuss The Lion King as far more entertaining, with iconic music and faster pacing.
