I have four favorite scenes: "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", The Stampede, The King Is Dead, and Simba Ascends.
I Just Can't To Be King is one of the songs that can bring out my childish and mischievous side of my personality. It is one of the songs that actually makes me laugh (besides Hakuna Matata of course). I just can't help but feel slightly sorry for Zazu though. He was just doing his duties and all he gets is trouble by a pair of cubs.
The stampede is one of the scenes that can get your adrenaline going and make you want to scream at the television screen encouraging Simba to outrun the wildebeests as well as hope that Mufasa survives but you know for sure that he won't.
Imagine if you were caught in a middle of a wildebeest stampede started by a slobbering mangy stupid trio of hyenas under the command of a lunatic lion hungry for his older brother's place as king.
Gosh that must be amazing to see in 3D.
The King Is Dead is one of those memorable tear jerkers that can have the same impact as Bambi's mother being shot by man. In fact, some people may argue that that scene is more "distressing" or "tragic" than Mufasa's death, but for me personally I beg to differ. I have cried at Mufasa's death several times and I am not ashamed to admit.
Scar is such a
great uncle wouldn't you agree?
Simba's Ascension is so powerful, just seeing him climbing up Pride Rock to take his father's place as king after he defeated his tyrannic uncle with the most awe inspiring score to exhibit that proud and joyous emotion just made it ten times better!
Sorry for this little "rant" I just couldn't help myself.
