Beautiful Story

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2005)

The Lion King is one of my favorite Disney movies(up there is The Fox and the Hound and Bambi, of course).
The story of a young lion cub named Simba who was banished when he was told from his uncle that he had killed his own father. The story goes along with him meeting some fun characters named Timon and Pumba. I'm sure many of you have seen it, but I won't give away the ending anyway.
It's filled with beautiful artwork and great characters.
Of course, I do have my dislikes about this film as well. Though they never admitted it, Disney has copied off of a show called Jungle Taitei(The Jungle Emperor) and renamed Kimba the White Lion in the United States. It is a 1960s show from the mind of Osamu Tezuka. Many things from the show and from The Lion King are quite similar. Go look for yourself! But, of course, I love The Lion King as I saw it before I had ever heard about Kimba. I love them both very much, and though I am saddened at the thought of Disney stealing (even though they never really admitted to stealing it) it is a great movie everyone should see!
