Dad warns parents not to take children to see The Lion King

A dad has warned other parents to keep their children away from the new version of The Lion King during the evenings.

The feature film, starring singer Beyonce , has been anticipated by many who loved the 1994 Disney animation.

One dad who had been eagerly awaiting the remake has told fellow parents to let the adults have the evening showings, and for them to take the kids during the day, The Mirror reports.

The dad, from Porirua in New Zealand's North Island, took to Facebook on Tuesday to urge other mums and dads not to take their young Disney fans to the cinema for evening screenings of The Lion King, LADBible reports.

He said: "To all the parents in Porirua please do NOT take your kids to the movies tmrw [tomorrow] night to watch lion king, it's the holidays so take them during the day while us adults are at mahi (work).

"After five is our time. I will have no dramas telling your tamariki (children) to shut the whakarongotai up if they're making unnecessary noise!!

"Don't ruin my time with mufasa and simbux. Said with love."

He's not the only parent to feel this way.

Another adult added: "Sorry kids. We waited too damn long for this. Stay home for the sake of all our inner children thanks.

"We will make it up to you with the screenings of Frozen 2, Moana 2, and so forth but Mufasa, Simba, Mulan and Ariel ... NAH stay home."
