I saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago and have watched it about 15 times since. I darn near tear up everytime and I can't even remember the last thing that made me shead a tear. Why does something so heartwarming make you want to cry?

I totally thought the Lion was going to eat them both in a grisly display of authority.

Very disappointing story.

I thought for sure he was going to attack too.

I'm actually glad he didn't, I typically hit the floor at the sight of blood.

good video though.

Am I the only one who found the name Christian inappropriately amusing for a lion?

I just noticed that Christian is always jumping the guy in the tan shirt. Blue shirt guy is totally getting shafted.
