Summary: The Best Disney Film Yet?
Review: The Lion King may be the very best Disney film ever! The creative team and energy that went into the making of this film is phenominal! Sending a whole team of animators to Africa to study the bugs, plants, sand, rocks, trees, and other animals and how they move to make sure that this movie was as realistic as they could make it. In Disney tradition having live animals on the set to draw. If you watch the way simba walks his movements are not cartoony but rather very real looking cat like movements. Not only the animation but the Music. Tim Rice and Elton John, all I can say is WOW! Talk about great songs from Circle of Life to Can you feel the love tonight, which made great additions to the other hits that Elton John has in his career. To the fun Can't Wait To Be King and who could forget Ernie Sabala and Nathan Lane in Hakuna Matata. And of course all of the backround music was superb! The All-Star cast of course helps quite a bit too. Jonathon Taylor Thomas (from my favorite TV show ABC/Touchstone/Buena Vista show Home Improvement) provides the voice for young Simba, James Earl Jones provides the voice for Mufasa and what a great job he did as he actually sounds like a lion when he talks. Nathan Lane as the smart talking meer cat Timon Ernie Sabala as Pumbaa who is a stinky warthog. Jeremy Irons provides the voice of scar who is the wicked uncle to Simba and Brother to Mufasa. And of course Cheech Marin and Whoopi Gholdberg provide the hillarious antics of the Hyenas! Together what a team! The story opens with the great song Circle Of Life as Mufasa and Sarabi have just given birth to Simba and the entire African Pridelands have come to witness the event. All of them except Scar of course, who was supposed to be next in line for the thrown but now Simba is prince and heir to the throne, thus jealousy lerks in Scars soul. Mufasa shows Simba the entire kingdom but orders him to never go the the shadowy place. However Simba being curious takes his friend Nala and they try to sneak down there and through the wonderful song of Can't wait to be king, they succeed in losing the Kings Domer Bird Zazu. They find themselves in a dark and scary place however Simba acts brave until the Hyenas come out and begin chase after the cubs and Zazu who has caught up to the young cubs. The following day Scar takes Simba down to the gorge and tells him that his father has a big surprise for him. But instead a stampede starts and Mufasa is forced to rush down to rescue Simba. In the process Mufasa is killed by the rushing stampede and falling off of a cliff. Scar makes Simba beleive it is his fault and to run away and never return. Simba does what he is told, and Scar tells the lions that Mufasa and Simba were killed. Simba finds himself alone in the desert where he runs into Timon and Pumbaa and learns that no matter what is in your past it doesn't matter to Hakuna Matata "No Worries" There he grows up and learns to live a different way than a prince. Until he runs into some old friends from the pridelands and realizes that he must go back and challenge scar for the throne. A beautifully and yet somewhat cheesy animated fight scene between Scar and Simba takes place and Simba takes his place in hte great and glorious kingdom as he gives a roar and the dark dingy Pride Rock that Scar had ruled over had now become a beautiful Pride Land again! Definatly a must see for not just kids or the young at heart, but anyone who has ever had something bad happen to them and wanted to give up, this movie will help you to move on and to look at the brighter side of things! So weather you are 1 or 101 you will love this great Disney Masterpiece! I guarantee it!

Summary: Hate lions
Review: Lions are very boring . Here's what happens. the king and queen lion have this cub named Simba and simba has all these adventures to try to become the future king. He has problems along the way that he must face and tons of friends and songs. This movie was a great cartoon, but it gets boring after you watch it tons of times~

Summary: DVD version is not out to 2004
Review: Yeah, you heard right. Disney is not planning to release the DVD version of the Lion King until the year 2004. Though they did say that they are planning to release it this fall as a part of a special edition collector set. The problem is with that is it'll cost anywhere from 250 to 500 big ones. Speak out and demand that they release The Lion King DVD sooner!!

Summary: Best Movie That Isn't a DVD
Review: No doubt in my mind that The Lion King was the best animated movie of all-time. From the opening scene with Simba being held high to the end with Simba re-claiming his throne at pride rock. I was 12 when I first saw this movie and I loved every second of it. Its been soooo long since I've seen it that I'm about to go mad. The outstanding story, the emotion the music brings, and the great characters make this not only one of the best animated films of all-time, but one of the best of any genre. Now where's the DVD?

Summary: The Best Animated Film of All Time!
Review: I have seen Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. I thought you couldn't get any better than them. Then comes along in 1994, The Lion King, absolutely the best animated film I have ever seen! From the powerful musical opening, to the heart felt ending, I was into it the whole movie. The Lion King soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack I have ever heard. It is also one of the more intense films produced by Disney. Scar is a character that is hard not to like. He is so evil and exciting. I am not saying that I like evil characters. He is a very exciting character in the movie. The Lion King can be a very emotional movie also, especially when Simba's father is up in the sky, with his deep powerful voice talking to Simba. I have never liked a Disney animated film nearly as much as this. Perhaps since it is the most intense and exciting animated movie I have ever seen. Now if they could just get that DVD released. I am hoping and thinking that they will start releasing movies like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King starting fall of 2001.

Summary: Disney goes Hamlet
Review: With a storyline taken from Shakespeare and an inferior anime story, Disney produced this amazing mega-film that re-defined synergy. ie; Lion King Movie, Television Shows, Broadway Shows, Lunch Boxes, Software and theme park attractions. The musical score by Hans Zimmer masterfully creates the musical environment that is often mistakenly credited to the Lion King 'song" writer, Elton John... Filled with stunning imagery and great characters, the LION KING proves that "everythng the light touches is our kingdom..."

Summary: Outstanding and Powerful! Now where's the DVD????
Review: The Lion King, to me is one of the greatest films I have seen. Usually when you think of of a disney movie, you would think it is directed towards younger kids, but the Lion King would be absolutely enjoyable for all ages. It is one of the more instense Disney films I have seen. From the fantastic opening music, and then to the powerful climatic scene, it kept me entertained all night long when I first saw it. The music is spectuacular! It's hard to pick out a favorite song. The cast for the voices are the best I've seen. The movie will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I am 16 now and I still love the movie. I just have one question. When will The Lion King be released on DVD????? The Little Mermaid was made around then and it is released. I don't know about Beauty and the Beast, but ALADDIN and THE LION KING are STILL not released!!!! Two of the most popular Disney movies of all time! DVD is the best way to watch it and I would certainly like watching the greatest animated movie of all time (in my opinion) on the best possible format (dvd). I only hope they are perfecting it for the DVD version, or are working on it, because I would certainly hate waiting 1 or 2 more years for it to come out.

Summary: Lion King video order
Review: I think that this is one of the best ever Walt Disney Animated Classics ever made! The music and the songs really touch you and it gives you a new aspect on the circle of life. I think that the way you order is quite well explained but I am in Europe and I have this question: Is this available in PAL Version? Or is it only available in NTSC like I read on the page?
