My Lion King Forum

I havn't watched TLK 1 for ages so I was gonna watch it and now I've realised I'm scared of the film because of the part where Mafusa dies! It's just so dramatic with all the wildebeest stampeding everywhere and then there's the sadness at the end of the stampede so I dunno if I'll be able to watch it again!!!

it will be ok just skip the part or think of something nice.

LOL don't worry, that's how people usually react after seeing that part. Why else do you think TLK is such a powerful film? It's the strongest part of the movie so don't think no one else felt that way the first time they it. Just watch it a couple more times and the fear will go away.

I'm sure it'll be a fantastic moment for you as you relive the emotions =) Don't hide from it, it'll be great.

Thanks for the reassurance I've got it on pause right now and it's just before the scene where Mafusa dies I'll try to watch it, but I'll cry. Guarenteed but it's happened before. I'm pressing play...right...NOW!

*roots for you* lol ^.^

lol... I've just paused it again. Scar has just dug his claws into Mafusa's paws. Should I press play and watch the catastrophy?!?

the only way to get over it, is to watch it lol. don't worry so much. it affects most people emotionally.

Ok...I'm pressing play...Now!...long live the king...
Noooo Mafusa!!!!
Fudge it's the sad bit!...Come on Dad, we have to go...
...HEEEEELP! Somebody! Anybody... help.

Well I'm crying as I type (T_T), but I managed to watch it

This reminds me of a similar situation. You know the movie Twister, by WB? My parents bought it purely because some of it was shot near our old house in Iowa (we heard and felt the explosion they used to put a tanker in the air, to make it look like a tornado picked it up LOL, and saw aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall those red trucks they had, a lot of which were wrecked when they did that drift thingy to get the machine in the tornado's path, but enough about that ) , and I was always scared of the first part when the tornado destroys this family's house. That part is really built up by the anticipation of the twister. And... I've always been scared of storms LOL but I can't get enough of 'em. Anyway, I think now you won't be as scared of that part in the movie. Hope this helps! Oh and if you don't think ur gonna be scared, you prolly will do better than if u expect to be scared.
