Change 4 Life Presents: The Lion King Jungle Jig

Mum and I are no longer fighting brain fog alone, guys - now, we have Change 4 Life on our side! This is the dance I did today, their Lion King Jungle Jig. While dancing this to the Black Eyed Peas, I tried to imitate legendary moments from the original film as well as moves inspired by characters like Simba, Zazu, Scar and Mufasa, but now you can do it too!

Simba's New Friend

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

SIMBA HAS A NEW FRIEND!

Meet Simba's new friend, Aladar. Simba met Aladar when he was travelling back to Pride Rock, and he, Zini, Suri, Plio and Yaar offered to join him, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa in battling Simba's wicked, demonic uncle Scar and his hyena cronies. Thus, the Pride Lands aren't complete without someone from a time as ancient as the folk tale of The Lion King.

Disney - 365 Stories for Boys by Walt Disney Company
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such inspiring and fun stories.
Was a bit weirded out by the Playhouse Disney stories in the book, but still, it goes to show that with Disney, reading can also indeed be magic!

The Best Day Ever - At Least, That's What Everypony Says...

Prepare yourself for the greatest discovery ever made by a human being in the history of ponykind...ever!

I went into T T Retro once again, and I got such a surprise! Just as I was about to get Poison Ivy, my chosen comic for today, I saw something sparkly, glittery, beautiful on the shelves. Not just sparkly, heroic, majestic and natural. What was on the shelves? Guess.

Hmmmm...it's a bit of a trick question because these items on the shelves have huger fandoms than I expected.

Exactly, you nailed it!

My Little Pony, Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Toy Story and The Lion King were all stocked up on T T Retro's DVD shelves. And I was so excited by what I saw, I had to take pictures of 'em all! So, I believe AMFOPs come here too, and T T Retro can bring in all the bronies in the world. Don't believe me? Watch this.

Where The Heart Is

"Wow!"

"Oooh!"

"Look at that!"

Pretty unique, huh? Yesterday has to be the best and most exhausting day of my life, not since I saw those Supermarionation series on Talking Pictures TV. The day started with a surprise - to be honest, the day was full of surprises. At the chemist, I got two new toothbrushes without telling my support worker. I also stayed calm when there was a baby and a toddler in there. Vic - I mean, er, POO PANTS!

Then I surprised my support worker yet again by asking her to take me to Tesco and get me some sausage rolls, Pom Bears, chocolate milk, body wash and - wait for it - BLUEY CUPCAKE MIX, for lunch! I can't eat the cupcake mix and the body wash together, but it emits chemicals, but the Cussons body wash I got might have something to do with a certain Nutbrown Hare duo...

And then, after our picnic...

Get ready, this is the best bit...

AMAZING! I went to T T Retro! It had absolutely everything in there, from comics to action figures to VHS tapes like the ones you're seeing above, it had absolutely every single character you could ever dream of! Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Power Rangers, The Lion King, Pokemon, Toy Story, Doctor Who, Stingray, Andy Pandy, Joe 90, Fireball XL5, Digimon, Stitch, almost EVERYTHING WAS THERE! I couldn't contain my excitement when I went in, for I knew that was the exact place where my heart belonged. I was so excited, and the shop owners were so friendly, I wanted to stay there for years and years and years! I wanted to buy almost everything in there! My favourites were:

The Andy Pandy VHS tape

The Simba plush

The Oliver the kitten plush

The Harry Potter Gryffindor lion plush

And ALL THOSE COMICS!!

And then, to make our day even better, I lead Sally to the sweet shop which was down the road towards Rumbly Town.

It was named Mama Gail's, and it was like we stepped into another world! My bladder was heaving with excitement, and I picked sweets of my choice. The shop owners were just as friendly as the ones in T T Retro, which was also the best place in the world, and guess what?

Their sweet shop won so many awards! Wow! Mind you, if I were to get an award for one blog, it would be ScreamBlue.

But the sad footnote?

I experience Gut-Brain Axis. My head hurt, my tummy churned and it felt like I needed to pee, so when I got home I went to the toilet, took some paracetamol and had a nice little sleep.

And thus, my head was out of ideas.

And now, here's T T Retro's new theme song, as chosen by moi:

The Lost Poems

The Gossips are from Dream Street

They talk about Carlton shows

Amber likes to spout aggressive mouthpieces,

As far as Scarlett knows!

Cyril’s a butterfly prince,

And Maisy’s a butterfly queen

Cyril’s clumsy at flying,

And Maisy’s the prettiest we’ve seen!

Can you draw and scribble

When you’ve got butterfly wings?

You can hunt for keys and cereal toys

And lots of other things.

One mug is for cocoa,

One mug is for fizzy drink

One mug is for orange juice

And one holds supplies when I think!

-Kipper

Toddlers can’t have cheeseburgers,

But I think they have a sandwich with cheese

Some yogurt, a banana, some bear shaped crisps

And an orange juice cup, if you please

-Lady Penelope (2015)

Tin Tin loves me more than ‘er ladyship

It’s really hard to tell

Who loves me most, but I can boast

That Tin Tin loves me as well

One Rude Tater (An Anti-Disney Protest Poem Themed Around Toy Story)

Disney! How dare you make Toy Story 5

It’s the worst thing I’ve seen since Dead Or Alive

Remember back them when CGI was no big deal

Or when Timon and Pumbaa had bugs for every meal?

Well let me tell you, folks, it ain’t true

So that’s why I’m bringing this message to you

Back then, our days with Andy are full of splendor

But you’re filling our movies with AI slop gore!

I mean, look what we’ve been through today

Disney knows magic doesn’t naturally pay

They replaced gentle princesses with adorkable teens,

They focused on teen sitcoms, you know what this means?

Us characters are gonna be thrown aside

If we don’t do as well as Kiara besides

It looks like Disney is dominated by AI!

The lions look real in The Lion King,

I’ve never heard of such a thing!

Plus Moana’s coming back and it’s all CGI

How can you do this? It makes my brain fry

And fly right up into the dark sky

Remember back then when Andy held us close?

He was the one we loved the most

Now Bonnie is just a spoiled high pitched brat

Who panics when playing and that is that

Have you ever seen the kids in Toy Story 3

They panic when they play with us even before tea

It’s like aliens are invading, no offence

To the Little Green Men who owe me sixpence

Back when Andy kept us, we were in Heaven

Even before this annoying 6-7

Mr Potato Head was rude and annoyed

But he still cared for us and his owner boy

Slinky played chess even before Buzz came

Without Andy, life wasn’t always the same

I can hear Bonnie screaming outside in the yard

It makes my ears bleed, and they bleed hard!

And those Disney Junior shows put me off guard

Disney Junior’s dominated by CGI

They think it replaces cherries in a pie

Everything except Bluey is made in 3D

Why can’t you do characters drawn on paper for me?

Then I’ll have fast paced Mickey’s flesh for tea!

Pixar itself is going downhill

Life hasn’t been much of a thrill

Especially with sequels going around

With shaky camera movements and loud sounds

And what is Disney Channel like these days?

They think Big City Greens is the new craze

As well as teen sitcoms, give them a break

Making new content is a piece of cake

But don’t make sitcoms, make something unique

Leave out the hysterics, leave out the chique

And I wish we had the old Little Bo Peep!

All these films and shows make me really mad

With that I shall tip off my hat

And throw it like a frisbee towards your neck

And slice it until blood makes the place wet!

No hand drawn characters? It makes me pissed

It makes viewers wonder, what did I miss?

Well they miss nothing, everything is crap

It’s too unoriginal to run another lap!

All studios these days are entering the race

To send sequels and remakes all over the place

But we, Andy’s toys, have had enough

Of all the soulless predictable stuff

And now you’re plotting to rid Pooh of his fluff!

The hand drawn animation is thrown in the bin

The ratings on Disney Junior are all thin

And so is Disney Channel, hear this, guys

When we burst through the door you’ll get a surprise

And during revenge, there’s no need for disguise!

With help from our fans, we can save our lives

And bring back magic day and night

Because we hate Disney’s new money scheme

We’re in danger, if you know what I mean

And in case you don’t know where we’ve been…

“You’ve got a friend in me….”

Curious Thoughts - Someone Save Simba!

Two pieces of bad news in the two days we're in 2026 already - first, the USA is going to kill all the owls in the nation, and then, the entire nation has invaded Venezuela! I can't let this happen to some of my animal friends, or else they'll become extinct!

I mean, Circuit's going to be in a lot of trouble! He's Furaha's boyfriend, and it doesn't matter how many times he got shut down or his circuits got scrambled, he will survive this anyway...but he's a robot, so he's left out of the owl slaughter anyway.

And what about Hedwig and Errol? Harry and Ron are going to be so upset if they see them killed! I mean, Britain is fine with owls because J.K. Rowling used them in her stories, but the USA doesn't approve owls anymore, not even ones from Hogwarts. They think they suck! But we will save Circuit, Errol, Hedwig and all the other owls around the world, I promise.

And as for America invading Venezuela...what next? They'll destroy the Pride Lands! I don't know about you, but this holy land is facing a threat worse than Scar or Zira. It's not the president who is in a lot of trouble, he has ordered Kiara, Jack, Gwen and Kion to attack every single person in the country, and that's not fair! Kiara has already turned her father Simba, her mother Nala and her friends Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa into her AI-generated servants, and from there, things only got worse.

Disney's going to make more live action remakes and sequels and more Star Wars and Marvel films until they run out of ideas and quit their jobs entirely. They're too scared to stand up to the president...but we aren't. We have the power to create original content and outsmart this onslaught of remakes and sequels that only think about viewing profits and not entertainment and laughter.

So, everyone, raise a fist in the air if you want to join the revolution!

Wow, that's a lot of fists.

Friendly Thoughts - Welcome To Earth

When I was at school learning about planet Earth and watching The Lion King and such, we did this dance to a Michael Jackson song called 'Earth Song'. Back when I was at secondary school, I didn't want anything to do with it, because at primary school everyone was too noisy and shrill to even bother looking out for my needs. And my secondary school years were worse - it felt like every single member of the school - the pupils, the teachers, everyone - was laughing at me and bullying me for being different!

CURSE THOSE YEARS AT SCHOOL!

But now, with this song, I've found it a rightful purpose. And what is that purpose you ask? Well, since I used it for my film Furaha, Orko & Optimus: Black Mask, I now associate with the entire history of the Masters Of The Universe toyline and everything that came with it - the characters, the TV series, the films, you name it, I associate the song with anything to do with the adventures and exploits of He Man - EXCEPT THE 2021 SERIES, S4C BUTCHERED IT!

Not only that, but I also associate it with when the 2002 He Man series aired on TV around the world, from Toonami on Cartoon Network in the USA to GMTV Kids here in the UK and Cheez TV in Australia and beyond. Those were now good times as I put it, even if my favourite character Orko was left out. I feel sympathy for him even when I watch it on Prime Video.

Remember this, my friends:

Don't cry because we lost that series, smile because we have it...NOW, on Prime Video!

Diary - A Dark October Night

Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and I went for a walk on a dark October night. Brains was easily very scared by what's around him, but we lead him in singing 'Hakuna Matata' and as if by some great miracle, sometime in the walk, we met Timon and Pumbaa, who invited us into their house for dinner.

Silk Warmth - A Positive Affirmation

Relaxing doesn't come in the form of bizarre, naughty and saucy content like on After Midnight. I know that the true form of relaxing takes any different form in any way, from simple things like drinking hot chocolate in the evening to taking a shower and erasing an itch on your back after lunch. The simplest forms of relaxation exist only at home.
