   Perfect 5.0

   Yeah, remember when Disney made good movies? Remember when they were in it for the art and not for the money? Remember when they used classic 2D animation? When you look at classics like The Lion King, you can’t help but say “talk about they don’t make em like they used to.” The Lion King is a prime example of animation at its best. This and Pinocchio are my favorite Disney films(excluding Pixar). Filled with emotion and depth, The Lion King tells one of the most mesmerizing stories of all time complete with good jokes that’ll entertiain kids, sweeping animation that’ll stun adults, and beautiful songs that’ll satisfy the whole family.

   The film tells the story of Simba, son of Mufasa, king of the Pride Lands. Mufasa’s brother Scar’s(one of the greatest villains of all time) jealosy of his brother and the future king leads him to kill Mufasa which causes Simba to leave the Pride Lands. Soon, Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa, who tell Simba to throw away his troubles and not to worry(or “Hakuna Matata”, as they say). However, Simba is soon reunited with a friend from his past who tells him that Scar has ruined the Pride Land. Soon, Simba learns what it truly means to be king.

   The Lion King is one of the top grossing films ever and has stood the test of time. It is a classic that should be watched by children and regular fans of cinema.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Damn, talk about an excellent cast. The cast is comprised of all household names, and each one does a splendid job. From James Earl Jones to Nathan Lane to Jeremy Irons and all the way to Whoopi Goldberg. The Lion King boasts a cast a truly talented actors who are aware of their surroundings and who know exactly what they are doing. Theres far too many of them to cover so I can’t exactly go into too much detail.

    Perfect 5.0

    Again, the animation is superb. This is quite possibly the best animated movie I’ve ever seen.

    The songs are all memorable and will stay inside your head ‘til the day you drop dead(note: Don’t take that literally, but these songs are just unforgettable).

    The dialogue has a lot of depth to it and there are times where it is just so perfect. Timon and Pumbaa have some very memorable lines.

    Every thing is beyond amazing.
