Wonderful, perfect

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2017)

I watched this film in 1994 when I was 10. I remember being astonished, thrilled and completely absorbed in this story. And there were tears, of course. The colours, theme song, animal movements - they're all perfect. I bought The Lion Kids DVD a few days ago, for my kids now, and I can say that the magic is still there. The themes are universal - love, family relations, betrayal, growing up...so everyone can relate to the story and feel the emotions. And the great thing is that it is not only appealing to children but to adults as well. The Lion King is a great mixture of singing and musical elements, appealing and cute animal characters, great animation, beautiful African landscape and serious themes of rivalry, betrayal and fratricide.
