It’s been a while since I last saw a true Disney movie in the cinema. When I saw the castle come up on the screen with ‘When you wish upon a star’ blaring out, it felt like a walk down memory lane. That logo to me showed that a movie was going to be creative and made with care and affection. I knew I was going to enjoy the next 90-120 minutes. It was a stamp of quality. However, this film showed this to be the case no more. Disney took one of their most universally beloved films and sledgehammered it in the name of making a quick buck. When money comes before creativity for a studio such as Disney, something you love dies and I am certainly in mourning after watching the Lion King.
