For our date last Friday, Ken and I watched Hamlet (the Kenneth Branagh version), as it is required for his History of Creativity class. I am very grateful, by the way, to have a husband who not only appreciates, but truly enjoys Shakespeare. The movie has prompted several discussions about loyalty, flaws, passion, family and insanity. We have decided that although Hamlet is the main character, the real hero and entirely good friend is Horatio. Anyway, after telling a friend about our date night, she informed me that The Lion King is a Disney-ed version of Hamlet.
Think about it.

Congrats on the pregnancy!!!!! You will be a wonderful mother!!
This is going to sound totally shallow, I've heard general authorities and people with such "class" reference and quote Shakespeare, but never have gotten into it myself. However, hearing you enjoy it, turns my attention more, I feel a leaf beginning to turn over!
ah yes, the classic simba-hamlet theory.
