Remembering Who You Are


Themes repeat and resonate. Disney sought the power of novelty in a new genre of animated films. They had a concept of a film with lions but uncertainty about the plot. What about a story where the son must avenge the murder of his father? And adapting a concept from Hamlet, The Lion King was born.

Themes reemerge. Remember The Princess Bride from 1987.
 

And MVB? Nine seniors graduate. New faces must remember who they are. It seems that a new version always has familiar faces linked to successful sisters. Anna Burns (Ava), Maggie Shoemaker (Anna), and Elise Marchais (Manon) are three examples.

MVB '25 has the call to "remember who you are," a worthy theme to pursue. 

Lagniappe. Block timing and armswing...
