Simba, Is That You? Golden Retriever Loves ‘Lion King’ Movie

Super-fans of some movies and comics often enjoy dressing up as their favorite characters. Apparently, some animals also enjoy a bit of fandom every once in a while, as a cinema-loving pup recently demonstrated.

Riley, a darling golden retriever residing in Richmond, Virginia, has been having a great time catching up on his favorite movies during the COVID-19 lockdown. Footage shared on his Instagram captures the charming canine sitting in the middle of the living room in front of the TV, watching his favorite movie, “The Lion King,” while dressed up to match.

“Quarantine Week 3: Dress up as your favorite Disney character while you watch the movie!” Riley “wrote” on the social media post.  

Arguably the cutest “lion” ever!
