Disney!

So I recently went to the 3D Lion King in theatres, which was pretty cool. As I was sitting there watching it though I found myself laughing quite a bit! I thought that was strange because I could not remember laughing when I had watched it as a kid. After the movie I was talking to my mom about movies that she watched with me and my sister as a kid and she said that a lot of movies created by Disney, Pixar and other shows geared towards kids had a lot of adult humour in them as well. Not humour that a child would think was funny, but that adults could find entertaining as well.
I think that was very smart for Disney to do that and I think that it also makes the movies more enjoyable to watch and remember; however old or young you are.
On another note, it was interesting to watch The Lion King again, after looking this up to make sure my facts were correct; Walt Disney was anti semitic and it was very obvious in some scenes the way he projects his feelings. The one particular scene that came to mind was when Scar is getting ready to kill Mufasa, the Hyena's are marching the way the Nazi's would have.
Overall though it felt really good to watch a movie that I fell in love with when I was a kid and laugh at the jokes that I found funny then, and the ones that I found funny now.
