11.

Simba & Mufasa's relationship & story.
3.) Has it changed during the years?
Nope. It's still Simba & Mufasa's relationship & story.
4.) Would you have gone to see SP in theaters if it had hit them?
Yes. But if I'd known it's quality, I would have seen it before 5pm on a week day. (Tickets half the price than other times.) But it is worth a teahter view.
5.) Your current favourite scene in the original film?
When Scar tells cub Simba to run, far away and never return.
6.) Your favourite TLK merchandise out of those you own?
The SImba plushie I got as a kid & the newest one I bought last summer. Can't decide. Only the first mentioned I would be upset for if lost.

"How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be."
8.) Your current favourite quote from SP?
"What!? Do you wanna wrinkle?"

Totally the best. Of all Disney classics actually.

3.) Original or extended Morning Report?
Extented.
14.) They intented to have cub Simba tell Timon and Pumbaa that his father is dead and that it's all his fault, when they asked what he'd done & Timon then say 'Wow, you do have a dark past.' Which prefered: That, or the way his past remains a secret in the film?
Remaining secret. More dramatic + I don't believe Simba could've realistically just come out with it to total strangers that soon.

I became life long fan of Elton John.

No. While they do not add to the "epicness" of the storyline, they do bring in the required comic relief necessary for any Disney film. I don't mind them at all.

Not just the 90's but best Disney movie ever in my opinion. Sorry Snow White.

Secret is way better.
15.) Did TLK somehow change your life?
I "found" TLK again late last year. I had sadly forgotten about it since I was first awed by it in '94. This revival has prompted me to focus on a career change and I am currently trying to get some interviews lined up with the Disney company.

[xLilacVixenx]

Here are my answers:

1.) How old were you when you first saw the original film?
Around five.
2.) What was your favoirite aspect of the original TLK movie when you first saw it?
The quality of the animation and the majesty of the whole plot.
3.) Has it changed during the years?
Never shall it change. Ever.
4.) Would you have gone to see SP in theaters if it had hit them?
Indeed I would have; I found the sequel quite enjoyable in general.
5.) Your current favourite scene in the original film?
When Simba is looking at his reflection and sees Mufasa live through him. Another is when Simba and Mufasa are having some "quality time."
6.) Your favourite TLK merchandise out of those you own?
The small Nala plushie I keep by my bedside at all times. I've had her for about three years and I love her.
7.) Your current favourite quote from the original film?
"Look at the stars. The Great Kings of the Past are up there...looking down on us. So whenever you feel afraid, they will always be there to guide you...and so will I."

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "over-rated", but I know that they added a little too much humor for them in the second movie. They proved as mentors and helped Simba through his hurt...now they're the "weirdo" people who babysit Kiara.

Lion King. 'Nough said.

The way they put it in the film for the same reasons Superbabysimba stated.
