I bet that every Disney fan among you was wondering at some point how would it be to visit some of the dreamlike places from beautiful movies we adore. Too bad that they’re all drawn and don’t really exist.

The Lion King’s Pride Rock – this one you can’t visit
For the end here is the opposite case. The myth buster sort of. Read what co-director have to say about the Pride Rock.
“We took a trip to Kenya to research the animals and the landscape for the movie,” co-director Roger Allers says “There are certain things lifted from the landscape, but we used a variety of inspirations. Many people try to say, ‘Pride Rock is based on this mountain here,’ but they are wrong. An artist in Burbank invented Pride Rock.”
