I ended up reading the plot for the 1997 Jungle Emperor Leo movie again a few nights ago to see if I feel different all this time later and was still in bitter tears at the end. Note, I can't even bring myself to watch the movie and once again just reading the plot sent me into a spiral. So, no more tinkering at all with any more Kimba or Leo stuff. I have a new character and story in mind that will make an honorable mention, but that will be pretty much it. I love the message and respect the story, but for someone that loves lions it feels like I am being held down and repeatedly gut punched towards the end. Sorry, with my emotional issues, that is bad. Back to Lion King full time for me and the next lions or lionesses either balloon or toon will be Lion King based from now on. I know some of you will find this silly, but not all stories are for everyone. All I can say is thank goodness for the songs of Petula Clark! She brought me back!

Note: I still love the Seibu Lions version of Leo, so there is that. Fun to watch that guy.
