Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for Thursday, the 11th of July.

I was trying to think what special day that is in the calendar.

And, you know, to be honest with you, I can't think of it at all.

Except as you recall from the program this morning,

that the dreary one who had to leave the house and by mutual decision, I think,

all of a sudden she's singing like a canary, your five minutes is over, darling, goodbye.

The Lion King, a week before Disney's live action remake hits the theatres.

I mean, I don't know what to say about it.

It's, you look at these animals on the the screen and all of them. They're all,

whatever they call it, CGI or something like that. It's, they're just not, it's all made up.

But it's, it's so cleverly done. You walk out, I mean, there are some bits on it that you,

that you, that you think to yourself, I'm not going to cry at this bit. And there is a bit, I mean, there's some very funny bits in it.

There's some very, very sort of rough bits in it.

And you sit there working out.

Have they done it?

I mean, it's so tremendous it.

And they taught them to sing in English.

Unbelievable.

I mean, that alone must have taken the best part of years.

Somebody says here, it's a visual masterpiece.
