Lion King was my special intrest for years. One of the reasons I loved it so much was because there were no people in it but our friend, Julie Taymore had to go mess that up. I was horrified when I saw the costumes for the Broadway show. I've never found another Lion King fan who shares my feelings for the Broadway show. I've even been attacked for them. I saw it in person and felt it was a rip off. I want my money back. The whole thing reminded me of people's descriptions of an LSD expirence. I don't care what everyone else says, I feel it raped the original movie. If I ever came across Julie Taymore, I would at least spit on her. The child in "The Emperor's New Clothes" was definatly an aspie. Perhaps if TLK wasn't my number one special intrest, I would not feel so much hatred for Julie Taymore. Anyway, why do people feel the need to give human faces to things? I cringe when I see those halloween costumes for little kids where there is a hood with animal's face, but they also feature the child's face in it's mouth. A It's clearly obvious where Miss Julie got the idea for the lion costumes:
The other costumes aren't that stunning either:
Pumbaa's back legs are sticks and don't move.
Why doesn't young Simba have a headdress but why does he have a tail? Why do I have to see a human face?
I remember the quote from iRobot, "Why do you give them all faces? To friendly them up?" Perhaps Spooner was an aspie as well? Perhaps if TLK wasn't my number one special intrest, I would not feel so much hatred for Julie Taymore. Couldn't they have used a mask that covers their eyes and nose? But really they did not need to make a stage show of TLK. It was fine as a cartoon. But anyway, why do they feel the need to give human faces or human element to everything?
