- From now on, Disney will probably have to pay royalties to the Swedish government agency of Riksantikvarieämbetet/The National Heritage Board.

It was probably a lion's head that originally came from France. It was however more than likely designed by somebody who had never actually seen a lion. ... or a mouse for that matter

I see a French guy who thought a lion was just a REALLY BIG mouse. I also see the beginning of an old MGM movie with the lion opening his mouth and going EKKKK EKKKKK.
