Chocolate Jungle Popcorn Munch
The Lion King is by far my favorite Disney animated movie. I was so excited to see the live action version in the comfort of my own home this week with its DVD and Blu-ray release on Tuesday, October 22.
Directed by Jon Favreau, the summer blockbuster, which reigned supreme with audiences worldwide — earning over $1 billion at the global box office and an A CinemaScore — journeys home with all-new bonus features, music videos and an exclusive extra for Digital consumers.
You will feel the love as they trek behind the scenes and to the African savanna through “The Journey to ‘The Lion King,’” a three-part documentary that explores the film’s creation. It features visits to the Playa Vista production facility where talent, including Donald Glover (voice of Simba) honor and elevate the animated classic’s iconic music; discussions with Favreau and team who used cutting-edge technology to create photorealistic animals and environments; and filmmaker and cast reflections on the timeless tale that has moved generations.
To enjoy this epic adventure, the perfect movie snack had to be served. I grabbed some popcorn of course, (gummy) worms because they are a favorite of Timon and Pumbaa, melted dark chocolate and trail mix to create chocolate popcorn Jungle Munch.
Get your very own copy and enjoy in the comfort of your own home. Hakuna Matata!!
