This wasn't a great movie. I mean, it was entertaining, but it wasn't my favourite animated movie. I liked the supporting characters like Timone (Nathan Lane). They were funny. If you were to pick an animated movie to watch, ``The Lion King'' shouldn't be your first choice. If there are no other animated movies to watch, ``The Lion King'' wouldn't be a bad choice of an animated movie to watch.Excellent - Gilley
This movie is one of Disney's best. I first encountered it as a child and loved everything about it - especially the songs. The music in the movie is very "catchy" and will have children singing along immediately. As an adult, I still appreciate the movie (albeit in a different manner than I did as a child). The movie does resonate with some themes/ideas/plots from Shakesspeare's Hamlet which I found interesting. It CAN be a little bit too sad for some young children, in the same way BAMBI was a very sad movie for some children to watch.Can't Go Wrong - Filmgal
You can't go wrong with The Lion King. This is my favourite Disney film and it has it all- great songs and characters, a plot that is both humourous and exciting, and deals with families and relationships. The Lion King is great for both kids and adults alike.
The story revloves around the lion Simba and his relationship with his father and his rightful place in the lion kingdom as he seeks to avenge the wrong doings to his family and tribe by his evil uncle Scar.
This is a movie I grew up watching and still enjoy seeing today. Filled with classic songs and wonderful animation which brings the characters to life. If you haven't seen The Lion King yet, be sure to add it to your ziplist. If you have seen The Lion King, it's worth revisiting to capture some of that Disney magic.
