Frisky, adventurous lion cub Simba "Just Can't Wait to Be King." Neither, unfortunately, can his treacherous uncle, Scar. When Scar's schemes leave Simba fatherless and alone in the desert, Simba is made to believe that he is responsible for the death of his father, Mufasa. Carefree warthog Pumbaa and meerkat Timon teach the forlorn cub their "Hakuna Matata" philosophy - no worries! Simba will need more than hakuna matata to rejoin the pride, confront Scar, and take his rightful place in the circle of life. (official distributor synopsis)

Another Disney movie that is famous and yet eluded me for an extremely long time. I was finally able to see it and I could finally say that this is another highlight of this studio. The animation was still beautiful even twenty years ago, and the story, though simple, is simply powerful and leaves an impression on the viewer, no matter their age.

My favorite “new" Disney movie. It’s just got it all. A great story, lots of excellent jokes and amazing music by Hans Zimmer. When I first saw Lion King I can’t have been older than ten and its world totally swallowed me up. I even bought that sort of album that you stuck stickers into. It’s simply really powerful and I look forward to watching Simba and his crew again sometime. 100%

The 32nd Disney Feature Film My whole generation grew up on The Lion King, and my whole elementary school used to shout Hakuna Matata... However, I only knew the game version at the time. This is also true in the case of Aladdin. And I knew Aladdin and Ariel primarily as a TV series. It is therefore a very strange feeling to sit down with the original for the first time in the context of a new remake. Despite the fondness I have for much of the Disney Renaissance, the magic is gone. Today, I'm more impressed by Elton John's argument with the studio than the resulting film.

Probably the most iconic animated film ever. A beautiful view into a diverse animal world full of adventure, friendship and of course great fun. It took me a long time to watch it, because cartoon+musical equals big boredom for me, ut here everything is so perfectly put together, all the scenes, including the ones with songs, are brilliantly and humorously conceived and all the characters are more than likeable. Plus, Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score is truly otherworldly. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

One of the best Disney animations of all time. When I look at some of today's animated series, The Lion King stands out in terms of graphic design, even though this movie is already 18 years old! The story is classic, made for children, full of tension and simple plot twists, everything unfolds as it should, there are plenty of charismatic characters, just the way it should be! Hakuna Matata... 100%
