Noticing the Lion King advert, terrified To be very honest, I might not have gotten into cycling if I started in the UK. On my first visit to London (it was a work trip), I casually picked up a Santander bicycle for my commute from Oxo Tower to Baker Street. I remember, at some point, looking at the big Lion King advert on the wall of a West End theatre, thinking ‘I’d like to see that show and I should have walked.’ It was a stunning September afternoon yet I couldn’t enjoy anything about it; I was too nervous and flustered. I took much longer than estimated 25 minutes and ended up paying more than the Zone 1 peak time fare. I decided not to cycle again in London.
As anything 90s became hip, graphic/web design of 90s and 00s has been one of the aesthetic options for younger generations. I judged it. Yet I found myself committing the very crime.

Napoleon makes a big entrance through a hilly meadow (cue Disney-esque soundtrack) to Kip’s wedding on horseback, saying he is done taming a wild honeymoon stallion. This extra random post-credit wedding scene is perfectly logical.
