Is it Just Me?

when I finish watching TLK, I just look at the window, I saw that it was already night, I just said "men, for how long I watching this movie? is night already"

I don't really have these kind of moments often but I don't like to b/c then all the fun of watching each of the TLK movies are over for the day.

When i watch Balto, spirit stallion of cimmaron and TLK, I Just feel like ive been watching it forever. MAGICAL!

[SummerSnowLeopard]

Yeah. Sometimes it seems like forever, other times, it seems like its goes for like 20 minutes. Maybe it depends on wether you angry, happy, sad, or excited. o.o

[Biomac]

I also agree . Everytime I watch I wish the movie never ends but it's impossible

^ Where did you dig up this old fossil? 0_o

[quote="KopsTheTerminator"][quote="Amanda"]It goes faster because you've watched the movie so many times. You've pretty much memorized the script and always know what's going to happen next. You may even find that certain scenes don't shock or upset you like they used to. This happened to me when I watched TLK too much, and I found myself not so excited to see it anymore. Not to say I don't love the movie, but watching the same 1.5 hours of film over and over again doesn't make it as enjoyable as when I saw it the first or second time. Basically, I can't enjoy the movie anymore because I know all the lines by heart so the words and powerful scenes have lost their meaning to me. Is this what's also happening to you? [/quote]

^ This. [/quote]

Yup. I watched TLK nearly every night for the entire months of October and November. Needless to say, I haven't watched it much since then. Time never seems to go by fast though, but that's probably due to my knowledge of the movie's length, and my inability to stop calculating things.

But if it does, that's because it isn't even a full 90 minutes long (89, to be exact). Simba ascends Priderock just 80 something minutes after his birth. That's why it seems to go by so quickly. Heck, a full-length 2 hour film could be made just from Simba's cubbiehood. Then add sequels to complete the story, ending in an ultimate deathmatch with Scar. TLK is just about one of the shortest epics ever. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is more than 6x longer, y'know.

And then we could go back twenty years later and make a prequel trilogy.

Yes, I know I could have included the entire Lion King trilogy, but since SP and 3/2 are so different, I didn't. The original film by itself is already more than enough to consider it an epic.

The second movie Simbas pride is actnually significantly shorter than the first and in which of you had just watched the first lion king or the 3rd -1 1/2- it will feel as if it flew by. I know from personal experiences. Yea it feels strange but that's how it is. A lot of sequels to movies are significantly shorter than the first.

[Miharuka]

I think the movie is long enough.
Sure time flies when you're watching it, but that's because it's such an amazing movie haha. 83
I don't watch it often though at all. Then it would get boring to me.
I watched it 2 times or something in my life. (Not counting myself watching the parts Scar is in or cub Simba being cute)
