When you feel stressed...

A little song goes a long way.

Happy Thursday :)

    Which of us is putting less effort into blogging today?

    But what's funny is I wrote a scene on Monday where my character is literally talking to herself and winds up doing a (whatever three people singing is) of Hakuna Matata, which incidentally I had to look up so I could spell it right. Too bad you hadn't posted this on Monday then.

    Thanks for the smile. I needed that this morning as I try to gear up for another day of NaNo psychosis. And I haven't stopped thinking about your interesting blog on Cavanaugh's book. Hmmm...

    @mutt: I'll have you know...posting a .gif is not effortless.

    @Brinda: I agree

    @Julie: I can be controversial. Part of that is simply because I'm vocal with my opinion.

    That movie will soon hit its twentieth anniversary. Revolutionary animation for its time.

    We saw it in the theater when they re-released it. Still a classic.

    One of my absolute favorites. I wished we would have been able to see it in the theater.

    Thanks!

    With so many writers crazed with NaNo fever, you were inspired to post this today! Thanks for the pick-me-up!

    Having come here from Rogue's blog, it seems to me that the primary blogging effort between the two of you went into commenting on who put more effort into blogging.

    I never actually cared much for "The Lion King." I think it was the beginning of the end for Disney animation. With the exception of "Hercules," I don't think they ever did a really good film after "The Little Mermaid," and I think that's because of "The Lion King," which hit all the excesses of post-"Mermaid" Disney and convinced Disney execs that those excesses were what sold, and so they should go after them.

    I saw an interview of Nathan Lane, and he said that when he was backstage at the Kennedy Honors a nearby choir of kids realized he was the voice of the meerkat in the Lion King. They went wild and treated him like Elvis. Love it.

    "Life's not fair, is it? You see, I.. well, I shall never be king. And you... shall never see the light of another day. Adieu." Great movie- lots of great quotes.

    Now I have Wheat Kings in my head. "Let's just see what the morning brings." That Can-Con just gets into your brain!
