An Opening Scene Frisson

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2001)

This film was watched by the whole family and will always be one of our favourites. We were about to depart on a holiday to Disneyland Paris and this film will always be associated with the great time that we had.

I especially love the opening scene and now that we have a home entertainment system it sounds fantastic with the elephants' footsteps booming throughout the room.
As to the film itself my kids loved it even with the dire images that Disney portrays so well for the hero to overcome. They were not frightened. (Aged at the time 6 and 3).
My favourite characters will always be Timon and Pumbaa. The good thing about this film is that the dialogue falls on 2 levels with the adults being well catered for.
Recommended to anyone who has not seen the film.
Looking forward to the DVD.
