... make them squint at a tiny gif.

[–]wackymayor 173 points174 points ago

What is this, a gif for ants?

[–]copyandpasta 66 points67 points ago

It needs to be at least THREE TIMES this resolution.

[–]WINTER_1S_COMING 34 points35 points ago

In this case....that...actually might suffice...

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 7 points8 points ago

First time I've seen a variation of this quote actually work. Seriously though, it needs to be at least THREE TIMES bigger.

[–]PopeJohnPaulII 9 points10 points ago

OP's GIF at 3x size.

Note: GIF's do not resize well.

Squint at a tiny gif, or squint at compression artifacts. To-MAY-to, to-MAH-to.

[–]iAMaHUSKY 4 points5 points ago

....or just Ctrl + mouse wheel

[–]yanzie 8 points9 points ago

... and then Ctrl + 0 to reset

[–]verkon 3 points4 points ago

NO! RES ALL THE WAY!

[–]SHv2 8 points9 points ago

Why squint? Just stick your face closer to your screen.

[–]michaelje0 21 points22 points ago

Just pick up the screen and hold it in front of your face. You people are so lazy.

[–]MrTravesty 10 points11 points ago

Or just hold "Ctrl" and scroll up with your mouse.

[–]SHv2 10 points11 points ago

I held "Ctrl" and then used my mouse to click on the arrows on the right side of the window. Didn't work.

[–]MrTravesty 7 points8 points ago

No use the scroll wheel on your mouse...

Give me a cactus and I'll leave peacefully.

[–]Legoandsprit[!] 7 points8 points ago

[–]supermegaultrajeremy 31 points32 points ago

Don't worry, this post has nothing to do with anybody's opinion, it's just an excuse to post this glorious gif.

[–]Mister_Muffins 6 points7 points ago

I like the gif, yeah, it's hilarious.

And I like the lion king, people seem to be assuming I hate it or something.

[–]Sleekery 15 points16 points ago

Yeah, I didn't watch Lion King until I was 20. I mean, it was okay, but since I wasn't young when I watched it, I didn't really care for it.

[–]megablast 5 points6 points ago

I hate movies about talking animals, and especially disney movies. How dare I!

[–]Armyless 1 point2 points ago

Do Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron count?

[–]JGL011 1 point2 points ago

really any movie with any dialogue has talking animals :P

[–]Lewis98 1 point2 points ago

How dare you indeed! :L

[–]tswpoker1 13 points14 points ago

[–]Gunski 4 points5 points ago

That's a nice opinion.

[–]Black_Apalachi 4 points5 points ago

Welcome to reddit.

Where some douchebag comment is always at the top.

[–]greenyellowbird 1 point2 points ago

Perhaps this would be more welcomed in /r/disney ?

Although...it would need to be made a bit more PG, otherwise it will go to the land where Songs of the South was banished to.

[–]Teneniel 11 points12 points ago

It'll be made into an awesome ride with fabulous music that nobody questions the origin of?

[–]greenyellowbird 2 points3 points ago

I'm impressed on your Disney knowledge.

[–]K_Swag -1 points0 points ago

Who!? They've got to be lion to themselves...

[–]TheyCallMeCactus 45 points46 points ago

What's wrong with this person? And why do I have to be involved?

[–]derpcraft3 2 points3 points ago

Upvote for you mr. cactus

[–]JGL011 1 point2 points ago

hey, the offender could be a rather attractive individual. this could work out for you.

[–]frobischer 18 points19 points ago

I was hoping it would be the entire Lion King movie in tiny .gif format.

"Don't like Lion King? Watch it again! But smaller...."

[–]castleclouds 7 points8 points ago

That makes no sense but I found it hilarious

[–]Aviator8989 9 points10 points ago

Still heard that in the original music.

[–]Saucisson 4 points5 points ago

Me too. It made the gif ten times funnier.

[–]chancellorofscifi 17 points18 points ago

It's almost big enough to be insulting.

[–][deleted] 51 points52 points ago

Yeah, how dare they have an opinion! Opinions are terrible!

[–]nodefect 41 points42 points ago

They have an opinion on the Lion King, and OP has an opinion on how they could use a cactus. No problem here, just exchanging opinions.

[–]TheTrinketWeasel 30 points31 points ago

I didn't like Lion king, but I don't mind that you did. So, do you hate me or something?

[–]Evil_Spock 7 points8 points ago

This guy doesn't like The Lion King.

http://confusedmatthew.com/The-Lion-King.php

[–]pineappleassortment 2 points3 points ago

I don't always agree with him, but damn he makes some very valid points about everything he reviews.

[–]lordnorb 65 points66 points ago

I don't like it. In my opinion it's a cheesy bad version of Hamlet made all cuddly.

[–]seedpoppy 17 points18 points ago

Its all these 20-somethings that grew up with it and see it as woven into their socio-cultural fabric. To them, people in their age group need to like it or they some how aren't part of what it means to be part of that generation. I am just little too old to have been part of it. My wife, 5 years younger than myself is not, and can't grasp why I don't like it.

[–]papermacheischewy 8 points9 points ago

28 - I didn't enjoy the movie because I didn't think Timon and Pumbaa were that funny - maybe I was growing out of Disney movies at the time, but the comedy seemed too obvious (whereas Aladdin was pure comedic gold). And Simba seemed like a whiney bitch. Which is, coincidentally, the reason I didn't like the Jungle Book either (although the music in that movie is AMAZING).

EDIT: Changed "to" to "too".

[–]swohio 8 points9 points ago

Same age as you and I agree. It was the first Disney movie that didn't have the Disney feel to it. The little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin were all great movies but The Lion King was meh at best for me. Add in everyone claiming it was the greatest thing ever and I get sick of hearing about it.

[–]Lewis98 1 point2 points ago

tototototototo, sorry I couldn't resist. and I agree on the jungle book music

[–]ultness 7 points8 points ago

I'm 27 and I liked the movie when it came out.. but it received such a popularity storm that it really killed it for me. I remember being in grade school and any time there was "dead time" in class, the teachers would put on the Lion King. Even to this day, when someone sings or hums a tune from the Lion King, it annoys me because I'm tired of it.

I still think it's a solid children's movie but it fucking grates my balls how over appreciated it is. IMO the movie falls apart after Mufasa's death. Timone and Pumba are the arbitrary annoying Disney comic relief characters who de-rail the plot during the 2nd act and part of the 3rd.

I'd take Aladdin over LK any day of the week.

[–]Lewis98 0 points1 point ago

I almost posted hipster warning but then i read the rest, I suppose that is a valid point, I am probably younger than you considering I watched it when I was about 6,7,8 on DVD like all the time, we used to do rotas with me my mum and my sister on who picked the movie and every third night it would be LK, because I was young I never really got bored of it and tbh I think the music, for a family DVD and musical stage show, is some of the best.

[–]1_point_21_gigawatts 2 points3 points ago

I went to see The Lion King in the theater when it came out. I don't remember too much about it, but I remember some of my high school friends making of me for going to see a "kids' movie." The nostalgic enthusiasm I see on reddit is a little weird to me, but I can understand it. Same thing with Pokémon. It's just a different generation of childhood nostalgia. '70s kids probably think my enthusiasm for certain '80s things is weird and silly, too.

[–]RJLupin2 2 points3 points ago

:O Oh my god, it's you! The Bequeether of the Neckbeardiest Neckbeard who ever Neckbearded!!!!!!

[–]1_point_21_gigawatts 0 points1 point ago

Haha I felt kind of bad for that comment. I'm hoping that guy didn't take offense.

[–]RJLupin2 0 points1 point ago

I'm a neckbeard, and that was the first thing I thought of when I saw his picture, lol. I even said "the neckbeardiest..." out loud before reading your comment. But yeah, I RES tagged you as "Bequeether of the neckbeardiest neckbeard who ever neckbearded".

[–]strafingrun 1 point2 points ago

It's also racist and homophobic as fuck.

The "good" lions are blonde with American accents, and the "bad" lion is a brown, probably-gay, secretly-fascist European.

Oh yeah, and the only other people of color are savage hyenas.

Maybe this sounds ridiculous, but rewatch it keeping this in mind; you'll see what I mean.

[–]Darknezz 1 point2 points ago

If you want to read that much into it, you can make anything sound evil and horrific.

[–]strafingrun 0 points1 point ago

How is it reading anything into it? Bad guys have dark skin and speak like they're from the ghetto. Good guys have light skin and speak with proper American accents. It's pretty transparent. I'm not even close to the first one to notice this.

[–]GammaTainted 20 points21 points ago

I don't see how any version of Hamlet featuring Jeremy Irons as Claudius and James Earl Jones as the Ghost could be called "bad".

[–]southern_boy 19 points20 points ago

Not bad, really - just xeroxed.

[–]Saepe 3 points4 points ago

Apparantly that card is way overplayed and people who have actually seen that movie do say it's not that similar to The Lion King. Though not being one of those people myself I can't vouch for them.

[–]southern_boy 13 points14 points ago

Overplayed? Watch for yourself. There's even some shot for shot lifts.

I couldn't care less if Disney had said they took great inspiration from Kimba the White Lion - that'd be neat, sharing art that many would not have otherwise been exposed to.

But they deny any lifting and claim all similarities are coincidental.

Which is of course preposterous once you've seen both Kimba the White Lion and The Lion King...

[–]Wilderbeest 0 points1 point ago

The stories are quite different but with very similar characters. But I love both the Lion King and Kimba.

[–]CeruleanOak -1 points0 points ago

Why can't people just admit that the Lion King is a good movie with great music, but that it's just not their "thing"? It's OK to not like something that is a GOOD product.

[–]0ptimus_Trajan 0 points1 point ago

I feel bad for your childhood

[–]banana_harpoon 6 points7 points ago

I remember getting my free vhs of The Lion King. You had to have matching pogs, which came in the box of Life cereal I believe. I remember watching it over and over again.

[–]DrowWithSkadi 16 points17 points ago

the "with a cactus" makes it

[–]ElPatreeecko 5 points6 points ago

How about someone who has never seen it and has no intention of ever doing so?

[–]Lewis98 -1 points0 points ago

I'm guessing there was no need for you to comment on this post as it was not aimed at you.

[–]Nullvoid123 4 points5 points ago

I like how it just stays there for a second, to let the message sink in.

[–]scruffy01 10 points11 points ago

I didn't even see the "with a cactus" at first. Gave me a good second chuckle.

[–]christopherhovgaard 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was going to be a screamer...

[–]MuffinsandTeacups 3 points4 points ago

I've never even seen the lion king. Not once.

[–]SRSWetboy 2 points3 points ago

Redditors act like little kuds. All day is nothing but nostalgia from when you were five. did you mother fuckers peak at five? Is that why you assholes live in the past? Get over it and move on.

[–]slk5060 1 point2 points ago

[–]Aeark 3 points4 points ago

Hahaha definitely didn't see that coming.

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 4 points5 points ago

The lion king made a belief that animals in the wild kingdom are nice and could talk, until I went and was chased miles into the desert with no food or water by a ravaging pack of hyenas and then wild boars

[–]Cool_Story_Bra 5 points6 points ago

You should have known about the hyenas..... The fucking pull a Nazi Goose-step during "Be Prepared"

[–]GoryWizard 4 points5 points ago

Was never a fan of any Disney film. When I was a youngling I watched Goonies, Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice over and over, so didn't have time for fluff.

[–]jarjarsinks 3 points4 points ago

I disliked Lion King because every dog owner I knew named their dogs Simba after watching that movie. I pointed out that Simba was a big cat and the dog is a bloody dog. They ignored me. So then I pointed out that Lion king has 12 metric tones of incest and was a blatant copy of 'Kimba the white lion'. I ignored their cries for help.

[–]elcad 2 points3 points ago

I grew up watching Kimba every morning before school. It always drove me nuts that no one believed me that the Lion was a lazy rip-off. I'm just glad the internet has proved me right.

[–]judaism -1 points0 points ago

People that didn't have great dads won't love it as much. That scene rips my still beating heart out and throws it under the antelopes. Now that I'm a father, the circle is complete.

[–]UmiNotsuki 14 points15 points ago

The circle, OF LIIIIIIIIFFFEEEE!

[–]ChastityPanda 0 points1 point ago

As performed by Christopher Walken, apparently.

[–]slightlydipso 5 points6 points ago

What? How does someone's relationship with their dad affect how attached they were to Mufasa?

TIL if I have a terrible family member, I can't be attached to characters who are good family members.

[–]ragebird3 2 points3 points ago

I can hear this gif.

[–]CrazyCartoonGuy 1 point2 points ago

I was expecting a gif of Scar getting slapped by Simba from the last fight scene in the movie. Perhaps with some funny caption or something.

[–]BrianBoyko 2 points3 points ago

I think the Lion King was an okay movie.

Of course, it was a complete and utter shameless ripoff that, if anyone had done it to Disney, would have been sued into oblivion.

[–]derpina562 4 points5 points ago

I really like this gif, but does anyone have a version that isn't minuscule as fuck? I don't want people to have to bust out a magnifying glass to know that I just burned them.

[–]ChocolateSunrise -1 points0 points ago

Lion King was about killing your enemies to take your birthright. Pretty Woman is about being a naive but hot hooker earning you marriage to a nice rich guy. What is wrong with having our children idolize these movies?

[–]LongJohnSilverspoon -1 points0 points ago

I think "The Lion King" is alright, but when you compare it to "Alladin" it doesn't stand a chance. But this is just me, my personal opinion.

[–]HaveSexWithMe -1 points0 points ago

One time I was up at a friend's cottage and we had kegs and stuff and everyone got totally trashed, so at like 8am the next day I put that "Hakuna Matata" song from the Lion King Soundtrack on full blast in the living room amongst the demolished hungover bodies. That day I created so much hatred of the Lion King.

Also that movie has the most obnoxious music ever. I mean, the highlight is a friggin Elton John love ballad, come on!

[–]Dijas -1 points0 points ago

Well I read it was actually copying some old Japanese animated movie in which so much is way too similar to be coincidental. But this being reddit, someone's probably going to really quick to point out x is actually y and my opinion is invalid thus me being downvoted to Oblivion, but I have deduced that predicting that to happen will lessen the chances of actually being downvoted to Oblivion.
