'The Lion King' still reigns in 3D
Remember when you were little and went to see "The Lion King" in theaters? How the story, characters, music and visuals all felt so epic and real to you at the time?
Many years later, Disney has re-released "The Lion King" in 3D for two weeks only. I'm happy to report that after all this time, this beloved tale of destiny, betrayal and the circle of life still manages to captivate audiences, myself included.
Personally, I have found 3D rarely enhances my experience of a movie. Who knew that a traditionally animated movie like "The Lion King" would benefit so greatly from 3D? All the visuals are twice as amazing as they once were. Instead of typical 3D gimmicks where objects pop out of the screen, "The Lion King" in 3D actually draws you deeper into the African jungle and the savannah, which makes the experience amazing to behold.
When I went to see the movie in 3D, most of the people in the audience were my age. I think it goes to show that while we may have grown up, we're not immune to the majestic power "The Lion King" still holds over us.
