I love children's movies (when they're done right), enjoy this movie, and have no shame in getting emotionally involved in sad scenes from any movie (not just children's), but I just don't get what the big deal was about (SPOILER)Mustaffa's death in The Lion King. Everyone talks like he was the first Disney character to die, which is debatable. Also everyones so damn confused about how he died, his death just annoys me now. Also, it's nowhere near as emotional as people say (and I still cry over sad scenes in my childhood movies when I watch them even now), seriously! (SPOILER)Simba's basic reaction was "Damn, my dad's dead... dude that sucks."
