This'll Make You Wonder

As I mentioned, I went to a movie the other night. Lots of stuff at the theater, and what did I happen to pick? Lion King 3D. Nice. Sounded like a happy sort of film. Imagine my surprise seeing my old friend Rafiki up there on the big screen! And the effin' Rat Thing and Fat Thing as well. The filmmakers didn't do a half bad job either. Now you couldn't really tell how old Rafiki was there (and he is really old!), and the Rat Thing was really a bit rattier, and the Fat Thing a bit fattier, and in real life they could all dance a smidgen better, but they got the story about right and even had the effin' Circle of Life song. Made me downright nostalgic. Then I started thinking... how could someone here on Earth have made a historically accurate movie about creatures that lived many thousands of years ago on a world nowhere near here?
