How is this not on the top 250?

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2006)

I just watched the Lion King for the 30-something time. It's been a few years, and I have gotten way more into film since the last viewing. Therefore, I noticed how amazing this movie is.
The Lion King is the basic story of MacBeth (with a few differences, but same basic plot line)... A greedy man kills the king to take power. The deceased King's son seeks revenge after years of living on the lam.
The cinematic aspects of the film amaze me. The intro is among the greatest in any movie, animated or live action. The death scene nearly made me cry, and I knew what was going to happen, and I am an 18 year old male. And the ending, with the rain and all the animals and the song... I will not even try to recreate the experience with words... you have to see it.
In my opinion, no one should dislike this movie... it is a classic. It has probably the best music of any Disney move, save Fantasia. It is a little childish at times, but it is always interesting and never fails to keep your attention.
Unless you hate animation with a passion, you will at least like this movie. A movie every movie fan should not just see, but own.
10/10
