This is a heart-warming Disney film for the whole family to enjoy (SPOILER)

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2004)

SPOILER
I first saw this film at a young age. I loved it. When I saw it again about 6 years later, I got all of the jokes I had missed in my younger days and I enjoyed the film and fully appreciated the superb animation. It is a heart-warming story about a young lion's feelings and actions following the death of his father which was supposedly his fault.
The voice cast was well chosen. Jeremy Irons' voice is dark and sounds evil enough and goes perfectly with the evil uncle role he plays. Rowan Atkinson is an excellent hornbill with his English accent emphasising long words and important points.
It is very emotional. When Mufassa dies, I cry. When Simba and Nala fall in love I'm really happy. As usual, Disney have outdone themselves with the music in the movie and it appears at the right time. The finale is the best point with the vocals and the orchestra and the feeling of 'Wow'.
Timon and Pumbaa light up the screen with their loopy songs and their stupid jokes (that are still funny even for the mature).
In conclusion, Disney have obviously put time and effort into making this film a success. Their careful choice of characters, voices and music adds emotion and enjoyment to a film that has a very unbelievable plot. It is the perfect family film.
9/10
