Movie 9-The Lion King

The Lion King
Starring:Matthew Broderick,Jeremy Irons ,Dir:Roger Allers
Released:June 1994,Running time:88 minutes

An all star cast including Jonathan Taylor Thomas,Matthew Broderick,Whoopi Goldberg,Jeremy Irons,James Earl Jones and Nathan Lane come together in what I think is the best Disney movie ever. Set in the pridelands it revolves around Lion cub Simba born to Mufasa and Sarabi who is next in line to the throne much to the annoyance of his uncle Scar. Scar then plots to kill Mufasa and get rid of Simba for good so he can become King. Killing Mufasa he blames poor Simba and tells him to flee which Simba does. The film then revolves around Simba in his new life with Timon and Pumbaa.

Another film that made me cry. This film is just the best film out there in cartoon form and I don't care what anyone says my opinion has not changed on that since I first saw it years ago. The characters are brillaint and the story is the best to come out of Disney for a long long time. The songs are catchy and if you know them you will sing along and the music in general is just so moving and brilliant. This is the perfect film for families and even adults on their own! but be warned if you are even a little sensitive you will be moved by this(I am a guy and I was in floods of tears at loads of bits in this film!).An enjoyable experience from start to finish.
