What’s the deal with Rafiki? As the spiritual leader of the lions, shouldn’t he be around more often to keep morale high after Scar takes over? How’d he learn to make those cave paintings? Is he really smart or a total moron? Oh, and are we really supposed to believe a light breeze can carry Simba’s scent all the way through Africa only to be recognized by some crazy shaman who sings to himself and carries around a cane/rattle/poking stick?
By the way, have you ever seen a mandrill in real life? Holy fuck. I saw one at the zoo in Mexico City last year. I swear we made eye contact and I thought it was going to break through six inches of glass to rip my head off; I’m still having nightmares. Those things are terrifying.
Check out the Douster video and song below. Both sample The Lion King. I’m told the tune was pretty popular at WMC this year. Note to bedroom producers: I’m still waiting for someone to remix “Whole New World.”

Sidenote: look at this screenshot from 2:53. I don’t want to be that lame adult who steps all over everyone’s funk, but how old is that kid smoking a cigarette? Ten? Eleven? And are they both throwing up gang signs? Kids today! When I was your age, we watched cartoons!
