A friend of mine showed me The Lion King. I saw her flick and raised her The Jungle Book, which she had never seen - and she folded. Yes, The Lion King has some interesting elements, and yes, The Jungle Book has some atrociously 'contemporary' (i.e. 'dated') elements, but there's not much doubt fifty years from now, which one will still be better regarded...

I hope your party went well, despite your forebodings. Had you been here, we could have gone to a costume party downtown. Who would you have been?
