A brilliant animation.

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2009)

Because of the release of The Princess and the Frog, I will be reviewing Disney classics from the past. One of them is The lion king. A smart, funny, sad animated feature. Surely it isn't as good as Beauty and the beast, but it is still a lovable tale of excitement.
The lion king is the story of Simba(voiced by Johnathon Taylor Thomas). When Simba is born, it is announced that he will become king if his father(voiced by James Earl Jones) dies. The king's brother Scar(voiced by the great Jeremy Irons) isn't happy because he knows that he'll never be king.
So Scar pulls off an evil scheme and tricks Simba into believing that he is a murderer. So Simba runs off and Scar takes over. Later on in life, we see Simba(now voiced by Matthew Broderick)hanging around with Timone and Pumba(Timone is voiced by Nathan Lane). Also, when an old friend of Simba's walks back into his life he realizes many things. He also realizes what he must do.
The lion king isn't as good as Beauty and the beast or something like that. But it is indeed a great movie. It's a movie that you'll never forget. The characters are never going to be forgotten either. The lion king is a fantastic movie.
