Lion King-BW

  Coming on the heels of its success with a re-release of Lion King in 3D, Disney announced today another re-release of its iconic money maker: Lion King: Black and White. “We’ve discovered a new way to separate movie goers from their money”, said Franklin Jessup, Disney Vice President in charge of separating movie goers from their money. “The response to our release of LK (Lion King) in 3D with absolutely nothing else added to the film, really opened our eyes. People were lined up around the block all over the country eager to pony up $50 per family to see the same movie they’d been watching on TV for years. We figured, what the hell, and programmed our digital video computers to take all the color out of the frames. Result: a Disney movie like you haven’t seen since  “Steam Boat Willy” in 1928. Just the opposite of what that shyster Ted Turner has been doing by putting color into old movies. Next we’re gonna re-release Lion King: Reversal, where we run the original film backwards. They’ll eat it up.”
