My Favorite Disney Film Ever

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2019)

The Lion King is the one Disney film that I know and remember by heart and has always been my favorite Disney film and a childhood favorite of mine.
The Lion King tells the story of a young lion, Simba (voiced by Johnathan Taylor Thomas), who is the son of the king of the pride lands, Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones). Mufasa has a deliciously evil brother, Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) that later on sets up a stampede to kill Mufasa and Simba. However, Simba manages to escape. He meets a meerkat, Timon (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (voiced by Ernie Sabella), and befriends them and grows up with them. Simba, now an adult (voiced by Matthew Broderick) comes across an old friend, Nala (voiced by Moira Kelly) and she tells him that the pride lands are in danger from Scar and his hyena minions. Simba must return and defeat Scar once and for all.
This movie has outstanding animation, a very great story, and the pacing is excellent.
The voice cast all did a great job too. Other big actors that are in this are Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings as the three hyenas; Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. There's also Rowan Atkinson as Zazu, the blue hornbill, and Robert Guillaume as Rafiki, an old baboon that is essentially the shaman of the pride lands.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with The Lion King. It is a childhood favorite of mine, and still holds up 25 years later.
