The Lion King (1994) - Shakespeare with Jungle Lions! Hakuna Matata, It's Just the Circle of Life! (My 100th Review Ever)

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2011)

The best Disney animated move ever made, "The Lion King", was recently re-released in theaters everywhere, in crystal clear, high definition 3-D. I was super excited because "The Lion King" is my all-time favorite Disney animated movie, and the thought of watching this spectacular movie in 3-D, it felt like I'm seeing it for the first time. Everything in the movie is still memorable to this day. The memorable characters we all know and love, including Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Nala, Rafiki, Mufasa, Scar, and the Hyenas, are still the characters we know from our childhood. Also, Hans Zimmer's incredible music score is breathtaking and exhilarating, and it helped tell the story. Speaking of that, the story is an example of what happens when Shakespeare's Hamlet has lions! It's thrilling, funny, breathtaking, heartbreaking, and it has a message that's truly uplifting. But the best part of the whole movie, is the beautiful and memorable songs brought to us, by Elton John and Tim Rice. Everyday, almost everybody sings to "Circle of Life", "Hakuna Matata", "Just Can't Wait to Be King", and the forever-classic "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?". I hope that all audiences will enjoy a movie like "The Lion King", for the characters, the songs, and it's beautiful heart. It has been an amazing movie-going night to experience the greatest animated movies ever. Long live the lion king! No worries! "The Lion King", in my review, "the most incredible Disney animated movie ever made".
