Happy 30th birthday Simba!
Today june 15th exactly 30 years ago, it was released-premiered one of the most sucessful and best animated movies ever made, probably the most economically sucessful hand made animated movie ever.
It was the pinacle of what was known as Disney´s renaissance, after it, more likely everything went downhill or at least, no other hand drawn disney project came close to the juggernaut this masterpiece was.
Takin aside the controversies with Kimba and of course some little flaws the movie may have ( *ahem* Simba x Nala possible incest *AHEM* >XD) jokes apart, i would lie if i say this movie wasn´t very influential in my artistic interests and my life.
Also this movie´s for me a time capsule and a symbol of an era and a world i used to love and enjoy that dissapeard and will never come back for which i can only crave with nostalgic melancholy like a home you left and you´ll never come back, yet when watching it and remembering it´s tunes, it brings me back briefly to those times, places and good moments and put a smile in my face again.
AND of course! a good source of ideas and material for lots of good rule 34 art >XD can you feel the love tonight? looking at me with those eyes, i can feel more than the love tonight! Simba may be the king but you Nala.... you became one of the most desirable animated lioness ever created >X)
All hail to the king, long live the king! happy 30th birthday Lion King!
