The applications to a living faith were written all over the place. And that it was set against the backdrop of a realistic African plain with the appearance of real, live animals instead of cartoon versions somehow set the tone of next level from the beginning.
#GOSPEL PARALLELS MOVIE#
So, whenever I look back on the movie, I often can’t see anything past the sadness of the scene of Mufasa dying, rather than catching the power and inspiriting nature of the entire production.īut coming back to the movie theatre to see it as an adult was different. In fact, it was the first movie in which I ever cried while watching. To be honest, the original The Lion King was never one of my favorites growing up. I’m not sure if it was meant to be the granddaddy of them all, but it definitely was in my book. And finally, the grand finale of them all, The Lion King, took its place on the pride July 21. The beloved Buzz and Woody duo had many young twenty-somethings flocking to the theatres to relive their childhood days when the two had been household names. Just as the debate over Will Smith’s versus the late great Robin Williams’ genie voice was slowing down (for the record, I love me some Fresh Prince, but no one outdoes Robin Williams’ enthusiastic voice inflections), the highly anticipated Toy Story 4 was released in June. We almost missed it, but a rained-out concert at an outdoor venue had us off to the movies instead. The series kicked off with a live-action remaking of Aladdin, which premiered Memorial Day weekend. It was The Summer of Disney, according to promotions. My family and I don’t normally go see a ton of movies while they’re still in the theatres but this summer was different.
