Could Disney even do this again?

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2007)

My Take: An instant animated classic with dazzling animation and unforgettable storytelling.
Success has not been new to the likes of Disney. But, as far as considering their latest works, "The Lion King" would be their biggest success. The 1990's are full of Disney's great works. Take "Beauty and the Beast", "Mulan", "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin" and others. But, as far as animated movies goes, the 1990's is the last year they'd be doing classics like this. Their future animated films mostly range from bad to average, no classics. But if they didn't make animated movies after the 1990's, "The Lion King" would chronicle their very success. This movie is done in exquisite sort of taste that makes it flawless as a classic. The animation is a breakthrough of Disney's first works, a well-animated scenery of the African wilderness that looks superbly astonishing, that it's almost looks like the Disney creators shot it there. The film also has human relevance. You know that the characters are animals, but they're made with so much appeal and effect, that they're almost human.
This will always be a favorite of mine, a story that's full of majesty and colorful that lacked in most of Disney's future animated movies lacked. Purely, it was a bit difficult for Disney to earn the viewers trust back with that appeal nowadays. Ironically, they're the only once who had the most of this appeal back when this was released.
