The Greatest Film? Well, Near it

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2010)

'The Lion King' was The Greatest Film, I had watched as a child. I was a school student when this film released, it was 1994. I remember watching this Masterstroke daily after returning from school. 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' became an anthem for me, and till today it remains as one of my all-time favorites.
Directors Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff and Writers Written by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts & Linda Woolverton deserve an ovation for making something so magical as 'The Lion King'. The screenplay that talks about pride, honor and loss leaves you haunted. It's a beautiful film, a completely well-balanced film, that makes you laugh and cry at the correct time.
'The Lion King' has a legendary soundtrack attached to it, as well. 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight', not only became an anthem for me, but also for the world once upon a time. It won the Golden-Globe Award and the Academy-Award for Original Song, which only elevated it's anyways going-to-happen legendary following.
The characters, be it Simba, Scar or anyone... each character has an ark, and all the characters have been voiced wonderfully by well-known Hollywood Names.
On the whole, For those who haven't seen 'The Lion King': Take out time from other non-sense and watch this milestone. Two Big Thumbs Up!!
