Hakuna Matata!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2015)

This film tells the story of Simba, a lion cub who is son of Mufasa, the king of the savanna. Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, two veterans of Disney, featured several well-known actors to the voices of the English version, as Matthew Broderick (adult Simba), James Earl Jones (Mufasa), Jeremy Irons (Scar, the villain) Rowan Atkinson (Zazu, the king's collaborator) and Whoopi Goldberg (Shenzi, one of the hyenas).
It is one of the biggest hits in the history of Disney studios so far, a magical film that tells a story of a young cub who, after being victim of a tragedy and family hatreds, goes in search of his place in the world. And he will have the help of two of the most beloved Disney characters: Timon and Pumba, an unlikely (a meerkat and a warthog) but inseparable pair of friends. The songs of this movie were written and composed by Tim Rice, Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer. Some of them have become big hits which are still remembered and sung, especially "I Just Can not Wait To Be King", "Hakuna Matata" and "Can you feel the love tonight".
For all this reasons, "The Lion King" is a timeless film which will be seen and remembered by generations children and adults, while there is cinema.
