Disney The Lion King The Signature Walt Disney Collection #TheLionKing

August 29, 2017 By Candy

I know it’s all about Disney lately, but isn’t it wonderful?! I’m truly loving these past few weeks. It’s like the amazing press trip I was invited to thanks to Disney was extended, all opinions are my own. Truly magical in every way and I’m stoked to share it with you. Who’s ready to return to the pride land with me? The “Circle of life” continues and it’s ready to be shared with the next generation of Disney lovers.

“The Lion King” is the fifth title to join the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. It takes its place alongside “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pinocchio” and “Bambi.” As I read this I can hear Carmen Twilly singing, “The Circle of Life.”  I’m happy to report the boys absolutely loved The Lion King. It made my heart happy when Aramis actually remembered that he danced to “Can’t Wait To Be King” in dance class when he was 3ish in Tampa. I love when memories are evoked from Disney films. I have so many wonderful memories of being a child and watching Disney cartoons and movies. Make sure to grab The Lion King to make more wonderful memories with your family. The story that The Lion Guard came from.

“The Lion King” Roars to Its Rightful Place in the Walt Disney Signature Collection on Digital Aug. 15 and on Blu-ray™ Aug. 29

Before I close, I have to share this touching moment from D23Expo The Lion King Panel with some of the cast. I think it truly represents this film. The film that almost didn’t happen is so much bigger than all of us and it’s going to live on long past us as well. What a beautiful sentiment and moment to be in the audience for.

Question:

Who’s your favorite character from The Lion King and why?

Cheers,

Candy
