I had the pleasure of seeing it Friday, on opening night; and it was absolutely AMAZING.<3
To start out, I think the 3D effects were awesome! Some people may not like it, but I thought it added a completely new sense of depth and reality to the movie we all know and love.

It was so wonderful to see both kids (many of whom held TLK plushies in their arms,) as well as teenagers/adults enjoying the movie with so much enthusiasm- just as if it had never been seen before. I myself, who was nearly having a heart attack in my seat, actually felt a newly heightened adoration for the film after seeing it introduced in this way. As if you couldn't love it enough, right? As the theater was completely sold out, I could feel the appreciation and love for the film radiating around me, as people laughed and smiled brightly in unison during most of the scenes. I could swear I heard a few sniffles during Mufasa's death as well...
What really took the cake, though, was when the entire audience broke out in cheers and applause at the end of the movie. I could've hugged them all!

Before I saw it that night, I went with my boyfriend to the mall and visited the Disney store. I couldn't resist the plushies-buy one get one free!

He thought it was adorable how I walked around like a little 5 year old!
