*SPOILERS*

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2001)

Disney movies are known to be brilliant, and although I haven't seen a lot of them, I know enough to know, that 'The Lion King' is a true Disney masterpiece!
The movie is all about the animals that live in the African plains and the Circle of Life. We meet adventurous cub Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas/Matthew Broderick) who 'just can't wait to be king'.
Unfortuantely, this isn't going to be easy as Simba's Uncle Scar (Jeremy Irons) has his heart set on becoming the new king, and little does Simba know, it was Scar that really killed his dad, Mufasa (James Earl Jones).
The rest of the cast featured are Rowan Atkinson ('Mr. Bean') as Zazu and Whoopi Goldberg ('Sister Act') as one of Scar's hench-hyenas.
A beautiful movie with amazing graphics, a wonderful soundtrack (thanks to Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber) and an excellent storyline. 8/10 (Followed by The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and the spin off series 'Timon & Pumbaa'.)
