DISNEY - LION KING(1994)
One of Disney's best animation feature films ever
made! Music is excellent! The story is ageless! And
the animation is great!!
And some of the greatest music in any Disney movie!!
All in all, a must watch for all Disney/animation/cartoon
fans! A++
From a reviewer at Amazon.com
Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent
animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge
smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy
life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds
a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is
sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way
into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually
comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very
strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons,
Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes
are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the
animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is
more palatable than in many Disney features. But be
cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh
