September 22, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. the Lion King.

In the middle of the morning today I got a call from Karen asking if I would like to go to see The Lion King, the new Disney film. We were all set to see it two weeks ago but the equipment at the Astor was broken. By popular demand, it was shown tonight at 7. I had seen the stage play in San Antonio and had watched the old movie with the grandchildren but the new one has all kinds of high tech things. Gill picked me up at 6:30. The movie was worth seeing. The animals talk and when they speak their lips move, which is very clever. The photography is wonderful but evidently the whole thing is computer generated so perhaps all the animals we saw were not real animals. I must look up some information as how it was done. Lots of funny dialogue and lots of parts never seen on the stage. But we all three enjoyed it even though we knew the whole story. Visually it was lovely and worth attending even if we were not bringing a child. All the other patrons were accompanying children but not us. We three are just enjoying our second childhood.
