Hakuna Matata(English)



I find it fascinating that Disney can so sanitize things. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE this film. LOVE IT. But allowing the cheery "hakuna matata" ideal to creep into Hamlet is terrific cognitive dissonance. One could argue that Pumbaa and Timon's abiding philosophy is less than cheery and is an escape mechanism from personal responsibility like Hamlet's avoidance techniques, but I think that might be delving more deeply than the Disney execs expect. Anyway, enjoy a sneak preview of our pre-Winter Break Technology Festival. Yep.
