'Twas a day late sharing this, so here is a Mother's Day-themed fanart of the Heelers. Making more Bluey fan-art, now and continually in the style of retro anime for a good sense of nostalgia!

Catching up on episodes, Bluey is such an extraordinary series 😭😭😭. I plan on doing more fan-art of this show, and other cartoons as well. Enjoy :)

And we love you mothers everywhere!

Taped off the TV, with the first ten minutes missing and vintage ads for products that no longer existed.

I didn’t know what the opening of The Flight of Dragons was until I finally caught the whole film on Cartoon Network when I was like 25.

I wish Disney would give this movie a theatrical re-release. I got to see the re-releases of The Lion King back in 2011 and this past summer, so it would be nice getting to see this on the big screen, too.

30th Anniversary of The Lion King

On June 24th 1994, Walt Disney Animation Studios released a film that many people often consider the pinnacle of Disney animation: The Lion King.

What else is there to say about it? It’s The Lion King. That opening shot and Rafiki holding up Simba are some of the most iconic images in pop culture.

It was released during the peak of the Disney Renaissance, fresh off the success of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin (with poor Rescuers Down Under wedged in between). It went on to be WDAS’s highest-grossing animated film until Frozen surpassed it nearly 20 years later (and the highest-grossing animated film overall until it was surpassed by Finding Nemo 9 years later).

Everyone has already talked about how great the songs, the animation, the themes, etc are so I’m just going to talk about a few personal memories of it:

The Lion King is tied with Aladdin as being my all-time favorite movie. I know it sounds cliche coming from someone that was born in the 90s, but that’s how it is. My earliest memory of it was the sneak peek teaser that was on the Aladdin VHS. I had it on VHS growing up and watched it so much that I could quote most of it verbatim (on a side note, I still have that VHS and honestly surprised that it still works).

Being a toddler at the time, I didn’t get to see it in theaters during its initial release, but I eventually got to see the movie on the big screen during its 2011 re-release which was one of my favorite movie-going experiences. I vividly remember people in the audience applauding right after Circle of Life and singing along to I Just Can’t Wait to be King and Hakuna Matata. If the upcoming 30th anniversary screenings are showing in the city I live in, I’m definitely dragging my friends to a few of them. 😂

I have a lot more memories associated with this movie that I want to share, but this post is long enough already. With all that said: HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LION KING!

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MOVIE?

I didn’t know he was still doing trailer voiceover narration for Disney as late as Bambi 2, but yeah, his voice in all of those trailers really built up the hype for a lot of those movies and made them feel like BIG events. That Aladdin trailer is also one of my favorites, along with these:

Non-Disney/Pixar Honorable Mention:

I have a confession, I miss it when movie trailers used to do voice narrations. I ALWAYS adored them. They made the trailers so special in words I cannot describe. The trailer voice actors were true talents like no other that simply made me so happy inside that I could never put into words. Mark Elliot was always one of my favourites and here are some of his best work. He has a talent that I just can't put into words.
