A true classic

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 2005)

I saw this movie when i was younger. I remember enjoying it even as a little kid and today I still love it. I watch it with my best friend and we have quoted many lines from the movie. It is so beautifully drawn. the background of the African landscape is breathtaking. The animals are great and drawn in such wonderful detail. The story is told great and it really flowed well. Some lines in the movie are very deep and have a lot of meaning. The story ends with a great moral and it is also enjoyable for children.
The story starts as Mufasa, the king, is celebrating his sons birth. All the animals come to see Simba honored. As simba grows up he learns about the good and bad of everything. He is warned not to go to the dark places aka elephant graveyard. but like any young child he goes. he almost gets killed but is saved. we learn that his uncle Scar is trying to have Simba and Mufasa killed do he can be king. Later Simba is caught in a stampede and Mufasa is killed while saving him. Scar convinces simba its all simbas fault and he should run away and never return. Simba does so leaving Scar the king. Soon there home is taken over by Scars followers the hyenas and things get bad. but Simba has found a new life living care free with his new friends Timon and Pumba. He doesn't think twice about his former home until his old friend Nala tuns into him while searching for food. Nala trys to convince him to come back and be king but Simba refuses. Simba comes upon Rafiki the wise monkey who shows him his father. Mufasa appears in the clouds and tells him he needs to go back. During the next scene Rafiki delivers a speech that i use today. About forgetting the past, it may hurt but you learn from it. Anyways Simba goes back and conquerers Scar and tells everyone the truth about what happened to Mufasa. Simba takes over and soon things go back to the way they were. the last seen is Simba and Nala celebrating the birth of there first child the same way simba was celebrated. Thus the Circle Of Life.
the movie is a true classic. The songs will be remember and the characters will live in our hearts forever.
