I like the part when Timon said the bug tasted like chicken. Haha how would he know? The rest of the movie was pretty good too.
RalphA near-perfect work of art that can never be replicated. Let's hope nobody is stupid enough to try.
James (Schaffrillas)Apr 24, 2016can you believe that billy shakespeare was SO moved and inspired by The Lion King that he wrote Hamlet like..... same

Biggest observation that came from this rewatch is that Timon would be a really good Tumblr Sexyman
James (Schaffrillas)Sep 1, 2017scar going to all that trouble to become king and then lying around utterly neglecting to rule his kingdom is such a mood

grandson says he can't wait to be king, helps him immediately become king, Scar is actually the best uncle of all time

I’m a 100% serious when I say that this is in my top 5 movies. The music?!? Man, don’t even get me started. Hans Zimmer created magic with this soundtrack. Especially during the scene where Simba runs from the stampede. Disney planned just that scene for 1 year, and it shows <3

Brenden Schmidt lovedThe Lion King9.1/10 Up there with some of my favorite movies ever. Rewatching this makes me appreciate it so much more. The music, the writing, the story, the characters are all top tier. Scar is an amazing cowardly villain. I felt like I just watched it for the first time again, so good

The Lion King, complete with jaunty songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, is undeniably and fully worthy of its glorious Disney heritage. It is a gorgeous triumph -- one lion in which the studio can take justified pride.
LUDDE lovedThe Lion KingThe best movie that I have ever seen
Alice Yarnball likedThe Lion Kingomg I hope his dad's okay- NOOOOO

Metacritic
This is an instant classic, primal and immediate in its depiction of the death of a parent, firmly anchored in the Disney style while extending its boundaries with arresting new perspectives and a tough-mindedness simply not possible to its most obvious ancestors, Bambi and The Jungle Book. [24 June 1994, p.47]

This is more a favourite of the children than adult Disney fans. It has a few memorable songs and has spawned a very popular stage production.
