Summary: ARGUABLY THE BEST DISNEY FAMILY MOVIE EVER.
Review: There is action, humor and lessons of life for the whole family, and boys and girls of all ages. The movie may be a little to violent for the BARNEY crowd is the only complaint I have. But we voted it number 1, just beating out Peter Pan for our favorite Disney animated movie.

Arguably the best Family movie ever, this is like two movies in one. There is the movie about the lions and stories of kings and successions. That part ends when Timon and Pumbaa arrive and the second part of the movie begins. Obviously T&P have been so popular that they still have their own show 9 years later.

We also have the music of Elton John to brighten things up. I don't know how Elton does it.

We had a lot of fun by gathering the family together to rank the 41 Disney movies we have that include some cartoon work. All the kids, ages 6 to 27, participated along with mother and dad. Peter Pan is no Codfish, we rank it #2. Lion King was selected number 1 of the 41 as the family favorite, but narrowly. Peter Pan was 2. Pete's Dragon 3, Beauty & the beast 4 and Sleeping Beauty 5.

Summary: Great for Depression
Review: Odd, but this is one of few movies I have ever seen that helps depression. I was depressed at one time. And since we know that about one it eight teens get depressed, I will share with you only a few things that help.
In the widely-known song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," Timon and Pumbaa realize that their best friend has found someone - Nala - and they are worried that he will fall in love, therefor they lose their best friend. This helps you understand that everyone, cartoon or real, goes through problems.
It is important that when you are depressed, you tell others how you feel and you have someone to help cheer you up. Scar tells Simba that it was his (Simba's) fault Mufasa died. Scar tells Simba to "run away and never come back." Simba does, after being chased by the hyenas. Simba lands and gets knocked out. Once he finally wakes up, Timon and Pumbaa find him. They notice he's depressed, so they teach him "Hakuna Matata."
To find out the other things, I want you to purchase the tape/DVD. You will understand what I mean.

P.S. - The music sounds GREAT on a stereo...but also good on your normal television set;).

Summary: Great Movie For Everyone!
Review: I like Disney cartoons and I think The Lion King is a good one, it's a wondeful story with great animation with vivid colors and delightful music and has the voice talents of some great actors, James Earl Jones, Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Moira Kelly, Ernie Sabella,
Whoopi Golberg, Robert Guillaume, Rowan Atkinson, Madge Sinclair and Cheech Marin.

The story of Simba is sweet, filled with moments of sadness and happiness and is highly recomended to people of all ages!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Long Live the King
Review: Being one of the biggest Lion King fans, this movie is no doubt the best in history. With even better presentation, games, a new song, and a ton more, the DVD version of the Lion King is the most promising piece of media that I have ever seen. All Lion King fans will surely love it and no one will be disappointed. Long live the king!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Movie Ever
Review: I'm am 13 years old and this is my favorite movie, right next to Seven Samurai and A Clockwork Orange. It has everything needed to be the perfect movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: One of the greatest films ever created by Disney, "THE LION KING" has been held captive on VHS for eight long years. Now, finally, the great classic is being released on a special edition DVD! The cover looks great, the movie is great, and now kids, as well as adults, can relive the magic again on a new crisp picture with great new special features and a new song!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The "King" Of DVD's
Review: The Lion King has been a favourite of all time and not just with me, but nearly everyone i know or knew. I first saw The Lion King with my mum when i was four and every since i've been hooked. I always cry at the part where Mufasa dies, even though i've seen it about a million times and am 14 years old. Now that video's are going downhill, I was wondering when The Lion King would come out on DVD and here it is and a Special Edition too. A classic story of a headstrong Lion cub who struggles to find his place in the circle of life. This DVD has stunning animation, quality surround sound and a brillient storyline, which, alltogether makes The Lion King the ultimate, "King" of DVD's

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie to Fall in Love to
Review: This was the first movie date for my wife of 8 years, Theresa and I. I was 37 and she 26, so we were not kids, but the magic contained in the movie was just that. We now own the video and watch it often and it never fails to bring back that first night. This movie always brings home the power of hope, love and being true to yourself. Everyone should be as lucky as I, you will love this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very good movie for all ages
Review: This movie is about Simba, a young lion prince, and shows his life as he grows up. The hardships of his father being killed, his uncle making him believe it was his fault, and trying to run away from his past. In the end, he challenges his uncle to the throne and the truth about his father's death comes out. A great movie explaining the circle of life, coming of age and coming to terms with death as well as facing the past.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can you feel the love tonight?
Review: The greatest animated movie of all time, Disney's Masterpiece "The Lion King" comes roaring onto DVD on October 7, 2003.
The Lion King is about a young Lion Cub, named Simba, who realizes his place in the Circle of life. Namely, his place is as the King of his dad's former throne. Simba's dad (Mufasa, who's voice is done by the legendary James Earl Jones) tries to teach his young son that we all have responsibilities in life, but Simba wants no part of that. He's too busy goofing off and letting his curiosity get the best of him, which results in some mane raising experiences!
When all is said and done though, Simba rises to the occasion, and takes his place as the rightful Lion King.
With stunning animation, beautiful songs, especially "Can you feel the love tonight" and "Circle of Life" by Elton John, "The Lion King" is a must own DVD!
Gather your family and friends (including your furry friends) around the tv and enjoy the show!
