Over the weekend, the Lion King premiere brought out every single Disney’s fan’s inner child, including mine! I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings to catch the latest episode of Timon and Pumba and naming my puppies after my faves from the film. The minute that Disney announced that they were doing the live action movie, I knew that I was going to go all out and dress up for the event and see it on the biggest screen possible.
I love that it features such a diverse and talented cast just like the Broadway play. I never thought I’d get to see a film with Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and James Earl Jones (!!!) working together. I feel proud knowing that black and brown kids will have way more opportunities to feel seen.
Like so many others, I have a deep, personal connection with Lion King. This is what Lion King means to me: More family time together as we gathered in the living room, impromptu sing alongs that inspired my love of singing, understanding the power of family, building true connections and empathy.
