The Characters of "The Lion King" watch the Broadway Production of "The Lion King" and (Unsurprisingly) Hate It
DISNEYLAND - So the other day, a broadway production of The Lion King was performed in Disneyland. Like, on Alice in Wonderland or something. It got rave reviews from everyone, except from the cast of the Lion King movie, which was kind of odd.
"They TOTALLY misrepresented us!" Simba told reporters with a moan, complaining how the child actor who portrayed him was entirely too crazy, and said that he never ran around with his claws out screaming randomly when HE was a cub.
"And what was with those costumes? This is Lion King, not Brother Bear; at least Zazu was an actual full animal."
Timon and Pumbaa were not available for comment, but it is speculated that Timon hated that ugly shade of green, and Pumbaa did not like how 'dead' his character looked (with all those ribs sticking out, y'know.)
The entire herd of buffalo was offended too.
"This is an outrage!" one of them commented, the others nodding in approval, "Our scene was supposed to grip fear in your hearts! Hell, we could see the wire that Mufasa was connected to as he 'fell'! That's not scary at all!"
When other Disney characters were interviewed regarding the Lion King, they all said they loved it. Stitch found Nala especially tantalizing, with just the right amount of soy sauce.
"You just wait," growled Rafiki angrily, "We'll get Beauty and the Beast to be performed here, and then see how Belle and The Beast like it!"
