The Lion King will work your tear glands- irrespective of your age

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2018)

One of the most beloved animated films The Lion King is a great take on Shakespeare's Hamlet. It must have been clever on the part of the studio heads to use the Shakespearean template and apply it to one of the most beloved of animals- the Lion. The animation is gorgeous, the voice actors are very good and the soundtrack, albeit criticized as not being as memorable as other Disney films in some corners usually gets it right. The spectacular "circle of life" to open the film should be singled out. This is one of the best films of the Disney Renaissance period.
