Wonderful

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2002)

A great voice cast really elevates this film. James Earl Jones makes
the audience care about Mufasa and it's terrible when he dies,but I can't help thinking of Obi-Wan Kenobi's death in STAR WARS when he tells Vader "Kill me now,and I shall become more powerful than you
can EVER imagine..." and that's exactly what happens to Mufasa-he
becomes one with the land. Madge Sinclair was also great as Mufasa's queen,Sarabi,who's probably the most interesting character in the film; she endures even after her world is ripped apart and we love her for it. Sinclair's death robbed us of a great actress. The one thing I would've changed: Sarabi should have killed Scar,not the hyenas. Other than that,it's a powerful movie,not as good as BEAUTY AND THE
BEAST,but it's good enough. One of those movies you just have to see on a big screen to appreciate its scope.
