A beautiful and enchanting film.

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2004)

Even after ten years, this film still holds the magic and charm that it had always left. The Lion King is a story of a young lion cub (Simba) who was tricked into leaving his home believing that he had murdered his own father (King Mufasa) by his uncle (Scar). He grows up running away from his own past, but he eventually returns to his home with his new friends (Timon and Pumbaa) to confront his fear and to take back his rightful place as king in the never-ending circle of life.
The one thing I especially liked about this film, aside from the story, is the music. The music is quite endearing and at some points, a real tear-jerker. The Lion King is a truly excellent film that continues to inspire generation-upon-generation.
