    People let less-than-3-year-olds watch The Lion King?

      Honestly betterr than what I was watching, who the fuck lets a 4 year old watch fucking Day After Tomorrow? And thats on the lighter side, I still cant enjoy Japanese horror because my mother decided that watching the original Japnese version of the Ring with her small child was a great idea. Just glad I grew into slashers.

      I was thinking the same king. Media consumption for a 3yo, total, per day, should be less than 30 minutes. And probably should not include The Lion King, cartoon or not.

        My issue with it wasn’t screen time, it was the disturbing death scene.

            Better turn it off after “hakuna matata” then, I guess!

                To be fair, Scar ordered Simba killed, too. It was the hyenas who failed to finish the job and lied about it.

                …Actually, that reminds me: the “Be Prepared” villain song ruins the anti-monarchy lesson. Specifically, the line:

                Idiots! There will be a king. I will be king!

                So yeah, even watching any part of The Lion King fails at teaching that lesson. You’d have to pick a different show entirely (maybe *Kimba the White Lion, LOL).

      Yes. Circle of life and hakuna matata are great songs. Besides, Hamlet is a good story. Or the Northman or whoever was first.
