A generation's cult-movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 1998)

Many saw this movie. People of all ages, older and younger, have appreciated it. But a movie is always aiming at a particular target public. The movie was really "speaking" to the teenagers, who respond radically to "the Lion King" by buying songs and videos, and by singing to the "pride land's" rhythms.
The movie is truly a masterpiece of animation, though many confirm that the storyline was borrowed from a Japanese anime. It's style is classical and really "cleancut". Colors, atmospheres, and musics, all combined to achieve an extraodinary emotional film. One of the best. Only surpassed by Disney's Mulan, which was more complete.
A classic! 8* on 10
