Did Anyone Else Have A Crush On The Characters?

Well I wouldn't say grew out of it but I'm not attracted to anyone, just think the characters are really charming and cute and rather hot but I'm not like, eh, it's really hard to explain. DOES ANYONE GET WHAT I MEAN?

[Shawry111]

Well I read this, it's a good explanation:

ive seen tons of girls who said they found adult simba quite attractive, especially when you look pass the lion form and see his facial expressions which are similar to that of a human. Any true fan of the lion king would know what Im talking about *yawns*

EDIT: I mean as far as Animated Animals go, he is because when you think about the characters, all of them are, Disney doesn't make protagonists ugly usually, in The Lion King he is made out to be a person and have human like qualities, check out the animation things on YouTube, like behind the scenes etc.

I think I get what you are saying, I however define a crush as a little more than a slight romantic interest. I can not describe my feelings for these characters as a crush. I will however say that I do love these characters for their personalities. It also helps that I admire the magnificence and power of real lions. (An admiration that became more pronounced thanks to The Lion King). I admire the characters in the way that I do real lions, but because of the way they are characterized, I see them as an idealized version of what it could be like to actually know the wild animals I admire on a more human level. Maybe a better way to put it is to say if I could communicate with real lions as easily as I can with Humans, I would like to think that the actual lions would have the same disposition as the lions of The Lion King.

As for the Characters I have great affection for I will list them separately, even though I also love the characters that are couples as couples.

Simba

Nala

Kiara

Kovu

Vitani

and just because I have yet to truly meet him Kion (although My affection for this character stated when I first heard of and saw him.)

I also have a feeling that I am really going to like Fuli as well.

Nala... Though that should be exceedingly obvious, infact my love for Nala is about the same as it was when I saw her for the first time, maybe masked away for a few years but she brings me great joy and I shan't stop praising her gloriousness.

Wow, I can't even describe, you summed that up so much better than I ever could and I like that list you made, maybe Kovu above Kiara but meh, finally someone got it, if Disney made them like lions would act, the movie would have been crap, but because they are based off of humans (for example the animator for young Simba got his inspiration from JTT, MB says he acts like Simba and some people call him out by that so I assume it was the same story.) and they have similarities to real people, like the way they move their hands, their personalities, their looks etc. I also see what you are saying Sumbas Guard, because I don't know if I would say a crush, but hmmm, I don't really know how to say it, definitely admire the characters, but think if they were real people, how would you feel then? I suggest everyone watch this, it is really interesting:

I think everyone here can agree with the things SimbasGuard said about their personification.

I however, personally define a crush as being a romantic interest, though mild, towards another person. I don't have and never have had a crush on any of the characters of TLK, or of any animated movie. Personally I've only ever crushed on people I've actually met, but that's just me.

[Claws]

Mmmm.. well I wouldn't say I have a crush on any Lion King char, but animation and that personification thing made some of the chars kind of attractive hahaha

[quote="Shawry111"]think if they were real people, how would you feel then?[/quote]

Well if The characters were real that would change everything, this movie would not exist and because of that we would not then know of these animals. Although I have often imagined what it would be like to actually meet these characters and interact with them. Like the way people and animated characters interacted with each other in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Oh Kiara was above Kovu on my list because she is Simba and Nala's daughter

I remember seeing that special on Disney Channel in 1994 it was awesome.

^I firmly believe that even if a character "isn't real" as many people say, it doesn't mean they're completely fake. If that were so, then how are they able to impact our own thoughts and feelings? This is one reason why I see Timon as a friend to me.

I'm thankful that we have the tool of imagination because if it wasn't for this, none of these persons would exist at all, even before they're drawn, etc. The imagination itself is what creates them first. Not a drawing or a story.

[SimbasGuard]

Good point Timon the great, maybe I misunderstood Shawry111's question. Although Simba is a fictional character I have a real affection for him.
