Summary: Never Miss This. Never.
Review: You will never imagine a movie of this kind of entertainment for young and old alike. Its so light a movie that u feel it when it gets going. The animation, sountrack (please use your dolby surround systems) and music compete with each other for excellence. Kudos guys ... the lion king team ... u have done an enviable job. I wish u didn't produce a better one.

Summary: One of Disney's Better Concoctions...
Review: The Lion King is a very entertaining piece of film making. The animation, music and dialog deserve full points, however the story was a little weak - but do remember that we're talking about Disney, not Mario Puzo!The saving grace of the movie was the strong characterizations of Simba, Timon, Pumbaa and of course, Scar. Lion King is a good laugh and definitely worth a watch for the whole family.

Summary: Lion King: Best Movie of All Time
Review: Ever since The Lion King came out in theaters back in June of 1994, it's been a tremendous phenomena. When I first heard the chant of "Naaaaants Svenya Ma bagi, thi-baba" (start of Circle of Life), I was hooked. I've seen it 10 times in the theater, and many more on Video Tape. It's still the best selling video of all time! (Yes, it beat that dumb Titanic!) Great animation, great music, and a great cast.. It's just.. great! ;) Ooohra TLK! END

I enjoyed seeing it with my family happy that there was finally something that will bring them together. I thank you very much for the making of this movie and all other Disney classics. END

Summary: Last of the "great" Disney movies
Review: The Lion King is/was/will probably always be my favorite Disney movie. It's more raw, more emotional, more realistic, and more jarring. Unfortunately, it's also the last of the "great" Disney movies, followed by such tripe as "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Hercules." It's Shakespeare with a beastly twist. Simba is the heir to the lion's throne-ahead of his scraggly uncle Scar. The boisterous young cub bounces around the savanna with his best friend (and fiancee) Nala, as well as spluttery rhinobird Zazu and his majestic, kindly father Mufasa. Mufasa is no distant "king of the forest," like Bambi's dad-he has an active and excellent role in his son's life. Good role model there. But when a freak stampede kills Mufasa, Scar tells the traumatized Simba that it's his fault. The cub runs away from home, hounded by hyenas into a waterless wasteland. There he is found by a meerkat and a warthog named Timon and Pumbaa, both outcasts. The duo becomes a trio, and years pass by... until the hunger-crazed Nala appears, telling Simba what has happened while he was gone. A warning: Timon and Pumbaa's cutie gross-out antics get old quick. Just tune them out, except for the "luau dance." Aside from the gorgeous musical score, the animation is truly spectacular, combined with excellent voices. The scene where Mufasa speaks to Simba to urge him back ends with a heartfelt, "Father, don't leave me..." that moves me to tears. Excellent and dramatic is the "Circle of Life" song at the beginning, the battle with Scar, and the glorious shot of Simba climbing Pride Rock, roaring, and being saluted by his subjects. This movie will make you cry, laugh, and show you strength in the making. Don't miss it.

Summary: Wonderful world of ads
Review: Sure, the king of beasts knows every inch of the Serengeti, but let's see that sucker try to navigate this DVD. For the long-awaited DVD debut of "The Lion King," Disney has created one of the format's most byzantine navigation schemes to date. Seven-year-olds might sense some sort of internal logic here, but most parents will be stumped and peeved. Breathe, close your eyes and try very hard not to throw the remote control. It doesn't help that the feature-film disc opens with eight "sneak previews" and a live-action commercial for Disney World. What should be an event experience is cheapened before it begins: "The Lion King" -- a crown jewel of modern Disney animation -- unspools like any straight-to-video kiddie show. It's a shame, because otherwise, "The Lion King" gets the royal treatment. Restored and remastered, "The Lion King" looks and sounds spectacular. Colors can be wildly saturated without loss in definition -- as in baby Simba's Busby Berkeley-inspired "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" -- or subtle and true to life. The audio defaults to the theatrical surround mix, but anyone with decent gear should switch immediately to the so-called Enhanced Home Theatre Mix (both are Dolby Digital 5.1). "It will test your home system set-up," vows the proud rerecording engineer Terry Porter, who gets to explain his work in an unusual but quite welcome DVD extra. (It's on disc 2; dig deep to find it). Most viewers will first view the new version of the film, which has an added song, by Elton John and Tim Rice, that's explained in a making-of featurette. Rice describes the music-hall-like "Morning Report" as "a lot of bad animal puns." The song, sung by Zazu, runs less than 90 seconds and comes early in the film. It's fun, but you'll probably prefer the original pacing. Viewers not interested in chasing around the DVD set to get the lowdown on the film -- there's a swarm of quick-cut Disney docus -- will do just fine with the commentary by producer Don Hahn and directors Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff. It's recycled from the laserdisc but not the least bit dated. One of the best extras has old footage of Elton John at the piano, tentatively unveiling "The Circle of Life" for the Disney team. Must to avoid: An unfortunate music video has the current stars of the Disney Channel romping through "Circle of Life."
