One of the Most Iconic Movies of All Time

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2020)

I have a hard time figuring out how I have managed to spend the first nineteen years of my life without seeing The Lion King. As a kid, I watched mostly Pixar and Dreamworks, which means my culture is lacking in the Disney classics department.
Watching this film for the first time as an adult is a special experience : unlike a lot of people my age, it isn't a nostalgia adventure, which allows me to fully appreciate the craft behind this movie, from the leap-of-the-screen colors to the incredible voice acting to the powerful themes. The Lion King is just iconic from beginning to end.
