The Lion King (Disney) – Movie Review

One of my all time favorite animation movies is Disny’s The Lion King.

This animated adventure movie came out in 1994 and it is one of the most populer Disney movies ever made.

The movie was nominated for over 60 different awards, and won over 30, including two academy awards (Oscar).

The oscars were given to the music in the movie, including Elton John’s Can you feel the love tonight.

The movie tells the story of Simba, a young spoiled lion about to inherit his father’s kingdom much to his uncle’s dissatisfaction.

At the turning point of the movie, Simba loses his dear father, and the audience cries along with him as he leaves his home scared and sad.

Simba, weak and afraid, is saved by a strange couple – a kind-heartet warthog named Pumbaa and his mischievous friend, Timon the meerkat.

After they rescue him, Simba sticks with them, leaving his former kingdom at the hands of Scar.

After a while, Simba meets his childhood friend Nala, who tells him of how Scar is ruining the kingdom.

Simba decides to conquer his fears and stand up to his uncle.

This is a movie for the whole family to enjoy – it is funny, exciting and dramatic. If you want to see Simba grow up to become the king h was meant to be, watch this movie and sing along your way to the happy Disney ending.
