Rafiki was alright. ^^ Funny character but not one of my favs. hehe. ^^ Hmm, I thought he was okay in Upendi, but I'm like one of the few people who actually liked that song. lol. It's great that his voice talent stuck through all the movies though, which really does add a level of likableness to his character. ^^
I think Rafiki is awesome. He is quite mysterious, but also very wise (and knows martial arts!). In short, he is a great character that adds humour and wisdon to the TLK story. Without him, Simba would never had the sense knocked into him!
lol, I love Rafiki's voice talent XD He's one of those characters who isn't the 24/7 star, but the story wouldn't be the same without him. I thought he was hilarious when I was littler.
