The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time. The combination of voice actors was perfect(especially James Earl Jones for Mufasa, Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella for Timon and Pumbaa and Jeremy Irons for Scar), the scenes were animated awesomely(especially the stampede scene in the gorge and during "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", the music set just the right mood for each scene as well as having a truly African sound with all the chants, there was just the right blend of humor and seriousness, and the messages it conveys are strong yet subtle enough that they don't take away from the movie. Even the sequel is great, as much as a sequel can be. I give it a ten! If you haven't seen it, it is a must-see, and if you have seen it, see it again! This is truly a film worth your time!
