My favorite movie ever. Period.

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2001)

First off, I'm going to have to say I completely disagree with everything "zetes" said. The meaning of the film is so much deeper than a child could really comprehend, the music is awesome (I own every Lion King-related CD I could get my paws on: The Lion King, Rhythm of the Pridelands, The Lion King on Broadway, Return to Pride Rock), and the animation is amazing. I've watched this movie so many times I've got it memorized, yet I still get goose bumps during "Circle of Life," I still get teary eyed when Mufasa dies, and I still want to roar along with Simba when he regains his kingdom. True, The Lion King is very similar to the stories of Kimba the White Lion, but that doesn't mean it's any less of a classic, and it's still my favorite.
