Dude, you're the only one here being an opinion douche. It's conceivable that people who don't really care for bifurcated structure, sappy Elton John songs, or both animated sequences and and plots that are lifted wholesale from contemporary and classic works might not love Lion King as much as you do.

I accept that much of my love comes from childhood nostalgia. I know this because I saw the new version, which is close to a shot-for-shot remake, and it sucked. Is Matthew Broderick really that much better an animated voice performer than Donald Glover? I doubt it.

Everyone who disagrees with you is not being edgy. Some of them are probably just wired differently than you. And thank God for that. We wouldn't want everyone yelling at people for not sharing some of their more basic-arse opinions

And to Shark, I actually think Mononoke is one of Miyazaki's shaggier works, but it is light-years better than The Sword in the Stone.

This is actually a solid point. Take away the nostalgia, do a shot for shot remake and the story and characters don't really come through. It's not as universal a tale as we may have thought.

it isnt disagreeing with me that makes it edgy. it is disagreeing with everyone that is. This is a trait that come out in snobs from all different topics, whether it is coffee snobs, or foodie snobs, or beer snobs, or this animated film snobs.
