How many did you get right?


Zero: You don't know any songs from The Lion King? Where have you been the past 20 years?


1-2: You've probably only seen the movie a couple times. Be careful making casual references in public. One of your more Lion King crazy friends might call you out on it!


3-4: You know this isn't just a movie, it's embedded in our culture. But when it comes to arguing over who's the biggest fan, well....hakuna matata, right?


5-6: You can only watch The Lion King with other really intense fans. You probably know all of the words in the movie and talk along with it, too. And have intense arguments about the best character/song.
