Greatest Movie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2015)

The Lion King is not only my favorite Disney movie, it's my favorite movie PERIOD. The film was a major box office success and won several academy awards, including "Best Original Song". And for darn good reason. I have loved The Lion King from the moment I first watched it as a kid. The good stuff in this film is really good. Oh, man, where do I begin? First of all, the story.
I like how this movie isn't based on a book or fairy tale. I also love how this film manages to accomplish a pretty solid story when there are no people in this movie, just animals. Now that I mentioned that, I should say that the characters are memorable. Simba is fun to watch, particularly as a kid. Mufasa is also a very like able character. The hyenas are funny and Timon and Pumbaa make great comic relief. Scar was also a very well-done villain.
The voice-acting here is terrific. All the actors play who they are supposed to be perfectly. I also loved the animation in this movie. This is the best-looking hand-drawn animated film. It looks best in scenes like the opening scene, the stampede, and the battle between Simba and Scar. I also LOVED the songs. Every one is great to listen to, and my favorite is "I Just Can't Wait To Be King".
I don't know what more to say. I adore it. I've seen it a million times and plan on watching it a million times more.
