From one who experienced it at the right age

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2007)

being born in 1991 i was about 3 when I first watched The Lion King. I have not watched it since about 1997 so why do I believe myself to be in a position to comment on a film I barely remember watching? I remember the way it made me feel as I sat in the cinema. I freely admit that I cried when Mufassa died and cannot recall a second in the film that did not either amuse or move me. I am severely irritated by those who complain that the film is too scary and overrated. The film is not for you!!! It is so easy to inspire emotion in a little child and Lion King did so much of that. People who watched the film when they were 26 and complain about the 'lack of intricacies in the subplot' or the 'lack of consistent character development' should check themselves into a mental asylum. I guess I haven't watched Lion King for so long because i want to maintain the effect it had on me as a child. This is by far the most overly sacharrine thing i have ever written in my life but its for a good cause. Lion King forever.
