Way to go Lion King! I hope Disney continues to re-release movies in theaters. It was wonderful to this and Toy Story 1&2 on the big screen again :)
I usually do not leave many comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here Simba Remains King of Box Office with Lion King 3D | DAPs Magic Disney News. And I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it look like some of these responses appear like left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Would you list of all of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
