The peak for Disney: perfect writing, direction, score, animation

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2019)

Disney truly outdid themselves in 1994. What left is there to be said about "The Lion King"? So to sum up:
This is the perfect story. The journey of a life time for protagonist Simba. The wisdom from Mufasa and Rafiki, the dynamic duo of Timon and Pumba. The perfect directional choices. The strongest score and pacing. Humour, emotion, humanity - in a fable tale depicting the animal kingdom.
As a child, this was my first confrontation with death. At present day, it remains one of my few favorite films. It has truly stood the test of time with gorgeous characters, animation style, and all of the above, including frequent rewatchability.
Perfection from Disney, and in my opinion their most beautiful film to date.
