The Lion King is literally the greatest animation film along with Toy Story!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2013)

I have often seen 'The Lion King' as a child at school but have never, since then, had the privilege to see this masterpiece. Today, I decided: "What the hey! I need to see this!" and so, I DID! And boy...its the best choice I made all year! Everyone knows the plot to Lion King but for any who don't, here it is: Simba as a cub grows up with Mufasa and is told one day that he will be the next king. When word reaches Simba's uncle, Scar, he isn't very pleased as you would expect to and plots the deaths of Simba and Musafa so that he may rule 'Pride Rock' Escaping Musafa and death, Simba then grows up to be a pretty much nobody until his old friend, Nala comes back and tells him that he must be ready to be king. The story simply evolves around Simba's life.
This film is just an animation masterpiece. Not only a genre masterpiece, but a masterpiece in general. The voice acting for this movie was superb. Jeremy Irons as Scar was amazing, Mathew Brodrick as old Simba was fantastic both delivering the performances of their lives. The animations, to this day, look amazing, the music is breath taking,the songs are so amazing and iconic that it is impossible to possibly ignore any of these aspects. The film is superbly directed and the dialogue is great.
The characters were done so amazingly in this movie. All the characters were interesting. Until Disney classics, like, say 'Beauty and the Beast' there wasn't a character that I didn't truly care for.
Overall, 'The Lion King' is quite possibly the greatest animation film and one of the greatest films ever made that gets everything right. Truly an entertaining, an unforgettable classic!
