Some housewives have nothing better to do..

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2000)

First off, I wanted to write about something other than what I thought about . However, since I liked the movie so much, maybe I should just spend a few sentences *first* on the film overall. It was a great kid's flick, because of the songs that seemed to ring "hit song" all around(!). The animation , while being at the time more innovative than ever at capturing realism in Disney animatations, was still lively and colorful enough(more lively than the latter , which I still love for other reasons) for the kiddies.
Now, to my point. About housewives. Actually, about certain housewives that have NOTHING better to do than to criticize. You've probably already heard that a bunch of "at-home mothers"(maybe this is the PC term nowadays) wouldn't let their kids watch when it came out, because it contained explicit sexual content.
If you don't already know, it's the part when Pumba, Timone, and Simba are discussing what stars are, and Simba tells them they're kings who are looking down on us, or something, and the other two laugh. Then Simba walks over to a cliff, looks up, then throws himself down, upheaving some dust. As it rises, it spells the word "SEX", for a split second.
OK, now I'm not saying this is normal, nor do I know (or want to know) what they drew this for, but come on! Saying this is bad for kids?! Believe me, these women must've been really looking, 'cause it's virtually impossible to catch. Anyway, if it's hard for adults to catch, believe me, kids will never see the word "sex"; not even if you tell them what part of the movie it's at.

Anyway, I liked the movie. =)
