Pure magic!

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 1999)

The Lion King is Disney`s finest moment. The story is excellent, the music is top-class and the voice-overs are perfect.
Simba is the cub of the King Of "Pride Rock", Mufasa, and nephew of the evil Scar.
Scar wants to get rid of Simba and Mufasa, because he wants to be king himself. Scar kills Mufasa and he gets the hyenas to chase Simba. Simba escapes the hyenas and he is now alone. He teams up with outsiders Timon and Pumba, and the movie tells about these characters and how they live together.
It is a classic tale of the battle between good and evil, it is backed up by fast-paced actionmusic composed by Hans Zimmer(The Rock, Crimson Tide, The Peacemaker), the other music is splendid too. The arguably best thing about "The Lion King" is the way it looks. The animation is flawless, the attention-to-detail is awesome and it moves extremely smooth.
10/10
