Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2007)

During the early 1990's, Disney were at their best with films like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin and it didn't stop there.
The Lion King is a wonderful film focusing on Simba, a young lion prince who longs to become King of Africa but he is very mischievous and often disappoints his father.
Unknown to him and his family, his uncle Scar is annoyed by the fact that his position as King is now taken over by his nephew and schemes a plan which will result in a great tragedy for Simba.
His father is killed in a stampede and Simba lives the rest of his life with huge guilt but he must rise to his responsibilities if he is to save his kingdom from the tyranny of Scar and reclaim his position as King.
This film focuses on the morality of life and serious issues such as loss, responsibility, maturing, growing up and finding your place in the circle of life.
This is film is a childhood favourite of mine. It's way better than all these ridiculous CGI films that are out today which aren't being made by Pixar.
It never fails to engage the whole family and take them on an unforgettable journey.
9/10
