The 30th anniversary of the original animated film version of “The Lion King” will be celebrated at the Hollywood Bowl next month with a live-to-film concert/screening that will include cast members from both the movie and theatrical versions — and beyond — including Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Billy Eichner, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver and Bradley GIbson.
The shows will take place at the Bowl May 24-25 and be produced by Disney Concerts, Fulwell 73 Productions, Amp Worldwide and Live Nation-Hewitt Silva.
The general on-sale begins Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster, with an American Express cardholder presale starting Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Young actor and musician Donald Glover, also known by his musician stage name Childish Gambino, is one of the most prominent names of Hollywood’s younger (not youngest!) generation. The actor and musician made his career in 30 Rock when he was just 23, after which he had successful appearances in the Community and Atlanta. He also appeared in several movies, including The Lazarus Effect, Magic Mike Xxl, The Martian, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story, where he played the young Lando Calrissian.
Aside from his personal appearances, Glover has done a lot of voice work as well, including voicing Simba in the CGI version of The Lion King. He also appeared as Aaron Davis (Uncle Aaron) in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; reprising his live-action cameo from the Spider-Man: Homecoming, although it was a minor live-action role in both of these movies.

When Abbey Romeo, 25, was little, her favorite Disney princess was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. “She’s a mermaid who wanted to be with the humans, just like how I wanted to be with neurotypical people,” she says. “And when she finally became human, she couldn’t talk. She felt isolated and alone. And that’s how I felt.” She struggled with communication, and had immense difficulty joining conversations. “I wanted to speak but the words wouldn’t come out,” she recalls.
When she was nine, Abbey asked her mother,...

In the ever-growing world of animation, several cartoon trios have graced screens as protagonists. These trio characters often quickly stand out because they share the spotlight, having almost similar screen time. While several of these cartoon trios are obvious to pick out, others are not so obvious. This often happens in animated films where one or all three characters are given arcs/subplots that may significantly expand the trio of characters. Good examples are Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa in The Lion King, whose friendship is formed in adversity and would later expand to introduce a few other characters in their circle.

Aside from the story or dazzling animation, music is often what we take away the most from Walt Disney Animation films. In this case, we're focusing on the music accompanied by words, not just the compositional score. The songs are frequently the heart and soul of the movie, bringing to life the characters' emotions and motivations and moving the plot forward through lively melodies and lyrics.
Music also establishes a particular style and atmosphere that is reinforced by the visual aesthetic. It's difficult to imagine the idiosyncratic humor of"Hercules" without the muses' Gospel anthems, or "Lilo & Stitch" without Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu's breezy vocals that immediately transport you to the Hawaiian setting.
The songs are either part of the diegetic story, meaning they are sung and heard by the characters, or a non-diegetic part of the soundtrack, outside the world of the narrative and overlaying the on-screen action. But...

Julia Trubkina showed off her dog handling abilities to 90 Day Fiance fans. Pic credit: TLC
90 Day Fiance alum Julia Trubkina has talked about her aspirations to become a dog trainer, and based on her recent video, she appears to be well on her way.
Julia shared an Instagram video where she directed a German Shepherd with different commands, and the dog obeyed.
Previously, Julia had talked about wanting to be a personal trainer or dance teacher, but after an embarrassing job interview, she seems to have abandoned that goal.
Julia’s husband, Brandon Gibbs, has a family farm where they breed German Shepherds, and Julia became acclimatized to them while spending time there.
Brandon and Julia have a dog of their own named Simba. It is unclear if the dog in the video is Simba or another dog that Julia was trying to train.
90 Day Fiance viewers first watched Brandon...
