The Lion King, Disney's most wondrous creation

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2003)

The Lion King is Disney's greatest triumph, a movie that reigns supreme in my mind as the greatest animated film ever created. The superb voice over acting, the majestic footage of the Serengeti deep in Africa, the timeless songs, and the raw emotions depicted in this movie surpass those of all other films in the same genre. This truly was a landmark in animated films. I can still remember the first time I saw this movie in the theater when I was 8 years old. I carried a stick around trying to immitate Rafiki and sang "I Just Can't Wait to be King" for the entire summer and more. I will be first in line when the Broadway musical hits Boston, and will undoubtedly enjoy Disney's classic from yet another perspective.
