The Lion King

Amazing animation and story. There are lots of morals you can get from this. The characters are unique and deep. I don't like a couple tiny things about this movie, but I still fully recommend giving it a watch.

Pretty good, not much to say. The stereotypical 'son of a king goes in exile because uncle killed father, lives a new life, found by person of his past, denies going back, has vision of dead father, goes back and challenges uncle and saves the land' still, pretty ok songs. Main fun is with a group. Also: Napa eyes?

Another one that I watched with my youth group. Definitely in my top ten. One of the most well-executed films I've ever seen. The pacing is perfect, the film never slows down and is consistently entertaining. The score is one of the greatest film scores I've ever heard. It is without a doubt Hanz Zimmer's best score. The characters are all lovable, sympathetic, and interesting. This movie's themes and writing are very mature. This film sticks out from the rest of Disney's catalog because of how mature it feels. The soundtrack is Disney's best. It doesn't have the single best Disney song in it ("Hellfire"), but "Circle of Life", "Hakuna Matata", "Be Prepared", etc. are all equally amazing and the soundtrack is overall Disney's best. The voice acting is Disney's best. The animation is also Disney's best. Every single frame of this film is perfectly crafted and iconic. The story is captivating. My only problem with this movie is that there are some tonal problems, and some scenes could have been better without jokes. But like that's the only issue I have with it. Mastapiece.

This is one of the rare old Disney movies that actually has a good story, protagonist, and songs. Most old Disney movies have good songs but a pretty shallow story or an annoying protagonist. Lion King utilized all of those for once, and it paid off and surpassed Pocahontas, which Disney thought would be their winner.
