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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: The Lion King Movie in my opinion is and will remain for myself and my children one of the Greatest animated movies of all time. The plot, Storyline, Characters are just so good it leaves you wondering what the creaters could have done to make it any better.

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

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: The movie showed great promise when it first came out and has been loved by children and adults ever since, and will be for many years to come. 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

Rating: 5 stars
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.
