one of the best movies in the 90's

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2012)

The Lion King was one of the first movies I've seen as a child other than Cinderella. I think it's a perfect film for all ages. Here's why... 1)It teaches you life lessons- when mufasa teaches young simba about the circle of life, it's probably one of the most important scenes out of any movie I saw. it plays a role that sets up how Mufasa rules his kingdom (respect for all) and Scar (well let's kill our dinner and destroy the circle of life). Hakuna Matata is wayy better than YOLO & if something's bad happens, I use this motto to cheer me up. You don't see good life lessons in modern animated movies (well not up and PotF) 2)The score is FANTASTIC! it's just as good as hunchback and way better than aladdin (I love that movie). The songs are amazing and they stay true to the themes and the culture of Africa 3)Mufasa- he's the Atticus Finch of Disney. They respect everyone no matter if they are different from them. they could probably be best friends! 4)Scar- GREATEST Disney VILLAIN EVER!! Like who would actually succeed for a long time besides Frollo from HOND?? Nearly no one. And scar actually kills someone! 5)People say this is a violent movie. umm not really except when simba & scar fight 6)The animation is flawless. It's not messy or overdone; has great contrast and tone & the characters are well drawn I could ramble on about this, but I shouldn't. this IS the definition of a 90's movie. I can see why it's so successful & that most of us adore this movie. This movie never disappoints! Just sit down, use the VHS player, and enjoy this classic!
