Has Lion King ever changed or help change your life?

[Luigi Severus]

It has for me...

July 3rd or 4th 2011, was a life changing experience, I was obsessed with Lion King in that period of time, on either July 3rd or 4th, I made the decision to become a Belieber... Best decision I ever made... TLK was still by my side, stronger than ever, I then met my partner almost a week later, a week went by after I had met my partner, I had gotten some JB stuff, that weekend, we watched The Lion King: 3 Hakuna Matata together... It was a romantic day... The song "That's All I Need" reminds me of my partner...


Has TLK done similar things to you?

Sounds like Bieber had more of an impact on you than TLK.

The Lion King basically changed my life for the better. When I was younger I was severely bullied and TLK would help me through that. I learned many life lessons through TLK, and although at one point it was "not cool" to love Disney movies, I still kept on loving TLK because it was a part of me. A lot of my life lessons have come from TLK and it's helped shape me as a person. Then joining MLK at age 15, was possibly one of the best decisions I ever made because not only could I participate in the fandom, I made friends that I can't imagine my life without.

Not really, TLK has been there for me way before I found out about JB, I've loved TLK since I was a youngin', when I was a baby, my mother took my oldest brother and second older brother to see TLK in the movie theatre, but I was a baby, so I was crying, but after I had started school, I watched Lion King for the first time, that one quote uttered by the one and only Scar has stood by me and still stands by me to this day "Run away Simba, Run, Run away and never return!"... I have always loved TLK, I had it on repeat so much.

Why not create a diffrent topic to announce to the MLK crowd how proud you are on yourself for becomming a ''belieber'' if that is what you are secretly trying to do? However, I highly doubt if someone would give a crap anyway.

I suppose you could say that, yes

There was a point at the end of 2012, lasting about 4 months, when I basically left my TLK DVD in my laptop 24/7, and I'd watch 5-10 minutes of the film every night. Those four months were definitely the most difficult of my life so far (for very personal reasons) and I guess watching TLK/coming here to MLK and talking about it helped me to calm down and think straight, which due to the nature of the thing that was going on was something I really needed. I think it would have taken much longer for me to get onto the road to recovery than it did without it.

On a more light-hearted note, I discovered my love (and talent, I guess ) for writing/storytelling through TLK. As a young child I would make up stories in my head about TLK, and started writing them down in this big book when I was about 10 (which I no longer have, sadly ) I tried to write a TLK fic when I was about 12, which sucked majorly, so I only wrote one chapter (which was only 350 words long ). I tested the waters of various fandoms until in 2011 (when I was 15) when I finally returned to writing TLK fiction full time. So that's basically what I do now (when I'm not procrastinating)

I can tell honestly that my life was changed by TLK 3. In this movie I saw kindness - Timon's kindness. I realized that I finally found a film in which Timon is kind and sincere. If this film is kind, it means that it have done kind people. And this, in turn, means that there still is good in this world. Therefore, since then I became a lot more to think about God. And now I understand how important this is...
Maybe it sounds pathetic, but in another way I can not write it. Timon means a lot in my life.

I became a full on nerd because of TLK. I would trace that back to me collecting those Skybox cards. No I cosplay and do fanfic. I would definitely cite TLK as the catalyst for being an admirer to a more passionate fan in that I just didn't get the toys but I wanted to know A LOT more.

I became an Anglophile because of TLK (I discovered Elton John and Jeremy irons *COUGH** LOL)
