One of the best animated films ever!

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

I don't remember what the pre-release hype was like back then for this, but I saw this movie that summer and I enjoyed it. So many interesting characters with an East African setting and such a gripping plot. It does have its parallels with the old Egyptian myth of Osiris and Set, and Osiris's son Horus, but as a fan of animated movies, this is the one with all the best actors and actresses lending their voices. Especially James Earl Jones. This and Mulan (1998) are among my favorite Disney films. If you've wanted to see African animals and a good story with memorable characters, don't miss this!
