The Lion King takes place in the Lands of Africa. Where there is a King who rules all of the animals that live amongst him and his family. The idea of the movie is based upon Mufasa teaching his son Simba, to be King. However when the death of his father suddenly happens things take a toll for the worst. Simba’s uncle, Scar makes the death of his brother look as if it was Simba’s fault, Simba quickly flea’s Pride Rock and grows up with his friends Timon and Pumba. Though, as time surpasses, he realizes he must go back and seek revenge on Scar. In a violent battle, Simba takes down his uncle and proudly becomes King of Pride Rock.
The Lion King uses an assortment of different technologies throughout the movie, such as; 3D, High-definition, and animation. The move was originally released in 1994 but just got re-released in 3D September 2011. “3D is a three dimensional motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception (Cohen, 2009).” It makes it seem like the images are coming towards you or popping out of the screen. When watching 3D movies one usually wears certain glasses in order for the images to really appear 3D. When watching a movie with high- definition affects is to make the features seem more defined and vivid, also the resolution is much higher. Disney is very popular with having movies with animation. The Lion king is an unforgettable example. Animation movies are typically used as cartoon figures. The idea of animation is an illusion of movement. One is suppose to get the impression that these characters are actually moving, however they are not. Modern day technology has really been able to change movies and make them seem more real then they ever have been before. With the changing affects throughout the movie you see a new life within the scenes, and really become a part of the film.
As I watched this movie for the first time in years, I really enjoyed it in 3D. I could always remember the movie having bright colors, great scenic backgrounds and a wonderful storyline. I thought the movie in 3D made it much more eye-catching. I felt like it kept my attention the whole movie and really made me feel like i was in the lands of Africa.

This post really caught my eye because it was about one of my favorite child hood movies. Being a fan of this movie I have seen in multiple times and every time has gotten better. But the new technology that they used in the re-releasing of it in September really made it that much better. Being able to watch all of the characters in 3D was out of this world! Also the use of high definition made the picture so clear, that I was able to pick up on things that I had not noticed before. Lion King is one of my favorite movies, as it is one of the most historic ones. They did an amazing job by adding all of the new technology to it and I hope that more old Disney movies do so as well.
