The Last Great Disney Movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2001)

After watching The Lion King a few nights ago for the first time in a few years it reminded me that this was truly the last Disney animated feature that stands out a a "Disney Classic." I'm sad to have to say that Disney's efforts the last six to seven years have failed to live up to the lofty standards that their predecessors set. The Little Mermaid, Beauty And Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King raised the bar so high that Disney may never reach that height of greatness ever again.
The Lion King is a tremendous movie with a great story, incredible animation and a wonderful voice cast including James Earl Jones, Whoopi Goldberg and and my personal favorite Cheech Marin, who I thought Disney would never allow in one of their movies, but then again many people probably thought the same way about Eddie Murphy and then he's featured in Mulan so go figure! The songs by Elton John and Tim Rice provide a fabulous soundtrack to this classic film.

Whats there not to love about The Lion King, this film has something for everybody (Despite the "SEX" controversy) so I guess it's no coincidence that this film is the Number One animated film of all time at the box office.
If you havent seen this movie then add it to your must see list. For those who have.....see it again.
