FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★
NOTES: Arrived as late as to miss a logo or two, which is weird considering how I usually remember exactly what the start time of every film I see is. A pretty faded print but not too dusty. It does take a couple of shots of damage though, and the worst hit changeover occurs during the ‘GRATUITOUS SEX SCENE’.

The climactic battle shows Scar rising from the grave (somehow) and ready to fight Kovu, all while an alien invasion is occurring. Kovu and Simba take to a random parking lot to take Scar down once and for all, and the aliens blast them with superlion strength, propping them up on two legs and granting them large, muscular yet rounded forms, much like how the animals transform in King-Size Canary. It’s a badass fight scene while it lasts, but in a matter of seconds Kovu is struck and killed by the same aliens that offered him his powers. Not only does the buff energy fly out of his body and into the UFO but that energy happened to replace his innards as well, leaving him as a boneless husk, and his dying face is much doofier and more cartoonish than this scene calls for. When the energy has completely dissipated, his eyes, nose and lower lip are vaporised by the aliens and through a POV shot from the bottom of the river we see the lion-skin rug that was once Kovu float down into the water, but a passing object passes through and transitions Kovu’s muzzle-only face back to his dying cartoon face as he lands. Simba, still bipedal and cartoonishly muscular, cries over Kovu’s lifeless, flat, empty, goofy-looking corpse. I didn’t get to see if Scar won or not.
