The Lion King...

On Friday night went to Times Square to see the Lion King in 3D!!!!

It's only out for two weeks, so the cinema was packed! There was a fantastic atmosphere in the cinema too, people were clapping and cheering at the opening sequence when Rafiki lifts Simba up in the air on Pride Rock.

People were laughing and singing and clapping along to all the songs all the way through, cheering when Simba defeated Scar and crying with Mufasa died.

It was wonderful seeing the Lion King again too, it's been AGES since I've watched it all the way through, I'd forgotten just how good it is. No-one can do childrens films quite like Disney, they stay as magical as the first time you see them.

It was funny thinking that there would be children in the cinema seeing it for the first time, and people like us who remembered it coming out the first time and enjoying it so much both times around...

If it comes out at home definitely go and see it - it was so much fun seeing it again!

After the film Kelly showed us a balcony at the cinema that looks over some of Times Square. It was great seeing all the tops of the buildings that we're used to seeing from the ground - like the Paramount Pictures building that the Hard Rock Cafes in, or the big spire that changes colour...

It was a bit funny looking down at all the traffic and people crossing the roads, I was getting a bit of vertigo...


But it was worth it. The view was great.
