...Lion King: his father (voiced by the late Bernie Mac, whose Soul Men also opened today) is being challenged by the devious, Scar-like Makunga (Alec Baldwin).

(The basic conceit, of an animal reared in showbiz captivity and forced to use his inappropriate skills to survive on the outside, will also be on display in the Disney cartoon Bolt, opening in two weeks.) Marty finds that he looks exactly like all the other zebras...
