I have to say that I totally agree with the unvaried knowledge of animals nowadays. I was at a zoo to take pictures a few weeks ago, and a family happened to be going around the zoo the same way as me and my friend. Well, the father pointed to some cheetahs and said to his children: "Look at the lions!"
Could it get any worse? Well, yes, because after a few more pens, he pointed at flamingos, turned to his kids and said: "Look at the turkeys!"
I also agree with the whole "disliking mainstream" things. I've disliked Twilight, Harry Potter, Justin Beiber, the Wanted, all the boybands, books and films like that too. Not even bothered to read Hunger Games simply because so many people like it that I'm pretty sure I'd dislike it.
For me, though, The Lion King was alright, other than the ending. I disliked the way it was so /obvious/ what the ending would be like. The animation, I think, was pretty good, but I agree that the plot was a little dull.
Just my random opinion. I should probably ask you a question now, too.
Hurr. Can't think of one. I'll edit this when I have time. xD
