One By One

I truly, firmly believe that The Lion King has one of the greatest soundtracks out there. Specifically the musical. The score is just lovely. The Disney songs are fun. And the ensemble numbers. Ugh. They are to die for. I could listen to them forever. I think that's what sets the Lion King musical apart from any other Disney production. The second act starts with a slightly different version of this song, with exotic birds all around the theater. It's magical. And this animation, which apparently came out ages ago (this video was posted January 2007!) is nothing short of magical.

It's Hamlet With Animals!

Reason 264: LION KING IN PERFORMANCE & CULTURE. Yeah, I sang along with the Zulu chanting. Come at me. No shame. I LOVE THIS SHOW

PS: Fun little game to play. Backstory! Jess texted her friend. Sara took the phone and wrote "Hey Big Daddy". To which he replied "I am Big Daddy ;D". And we all absolutely died of laughter. And wondered, what would other guys even say to that? How did we expect him to reply? So we tried it out. Here are my entertaining responses!

Harrison (confused): Hey....?

John (accepted it like a jerk): Yes?

JuanJosé (amused): hahaha hi stranger

Alex (WINNER with the video game reference): Woah there little sister

Jason (actually expected): Hey little mama ;)

Evan (curious): Lol big daddy?

Jonathan (...well, Jonathan): hihihi

Spencer (NO. REACTION. EVER.): Hey, what's up?

This was fun. I enjoyed this.
