Disney's Simba Popcorn Bucket Is So Cute You'll Want To Lift It Up And Sing 'The Circle Of Life'
If you've tried to sing along to "Circle of Life" while also attempting to recreate the iconic Simba lift with a pet or tiny human before, you'll be happy to know there is now something that will make that more possible. People are spotting baby Simba popcorn buckets at Disney parks around the world and nothing will ever be the same.

Disney is obviously known for their amazing and creative food options, but some of their snacks come with collectible souvenirs, too. There are Millennium Falcon French fry buckets and light-up Christmas tree popcorn holders, so the snack-turned-souvenir thing is not uncharted territory. This one, my friends, might just be the best one yet because it is a nod to one of the most quintessential Disney scenes of all time.
When Rafiki lifts up baby Simba at the start of Lion King and shows him the breadth of the savanna that will one day belong to him under his royal rule...you feel all the feelings. Baby Simba's little curious-yet-confused expression shows he has no idea what's in store for him, and the Simba popcorn bucket has that same emotion.

Even better, this baby Simba has a latch in the back that opens up and gets filled with popcorn. I mean, COME ON, a cute thing filled with a tasty lil snack inside? I have never needed something more.
The Simba popcorn buckets come with a lanyard, so you can easily sling it around your neck or arm once you take the much needed photo of you lifting it up like Rafiki. They have beens spotted by parkgoers all over Animal Kingdom, and they go for about $16.99 with tax. Not a hefty price for making dreams come true, if you ask me.
