    Both films look incredible. I am especially looking forward to Mia and the White Lion. 3 years in the making, I am sure the cast and animals had a beautiful bond by the end of filming.

      Hopefully, she is still able to visit and spend time with him. It would be a shame if not.

      Where there's a will, there's a way. She did it for 3 years before filming, it would be a pity for the lion to wonder why his friend abandoned him.

      he certainly couldn't count on my mother to feed him... she forgets to do it even the few times during the year when I'm out all day away from the city.
