Disney's Best

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2000)

The Lion King has proved to be Disney's most successful film at the box offices and what many think, their best film yet. I loved the whole era between The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas (which also included Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast), I really think Disney were at their best then. After Pocahontas the movies started to lose a bit of that special Disney charm that all Disney movies should have (not that I didn't enjoy them).

The Lion King is Disney's first original story and they must get an extra applause for that, this was their first story that wasn't based on anything else and look how wonderful it turned out! And of course with the splendid voices of Matthew Broderick, Rowan Atkinson (or as many know him- Mr. Bean), Whoopi Goldberg, Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and of course Ernie Sabella and Nathan Lane as the wonderful Pumbaa and Timon who can go wrong?
The Lion King is definitely a memorable movie that you or your children will not forget for a long long time. The animation is superb, the backgrounds and views (before Scar took over) just make you wish you could be on a safari in Africa. The songs (which include Oscar winning- Can You Feel The Love Tonight?) add so much to this brilliant and unforgettable motion picture.
