 Review of the film only July 8, 2008
as i dont have the dvd special edition, i will just review the fantastic film that is The Lion King.
As others have said, it is the best disney film ever. And the only one that can make me cry. When Musafa dies, it is the saddest thing ever. Simba is a true hero and king. The names of the characters are brilliant. you truly want him to come back and claim his place on Pride Rock. And get revenge on his evil uncle scar. A true baddie!! and of course, you have to see this film again and again for the magic that is the duo Timone and Pumba. they are fantastic and so funny! i love them. i love this. thank you disney!
amazing!!!!!!!!! January 25, 2008
You would be a fool not to buy this. It is enjoyed by people of all ages, not just children. The songs are magical and the story is great. I would recommend it to anyone!
Timon and Pumbaa's Humor December 14, 2007
I totally agree with bairdio, i don't watch animated films much, until i watched this 1 and as bairdio said you will enjoy Timon and Pumbaa's sense of humor, and you'll be thinking and laughing to your self days after.

A DISNEY CLASSIC November 13, 2007

Disney made another solid A in cinemas everywhere around the world in 1994 with "The Lion King," a very nice animated film.
It is about Simba, a young lion whose father was Mufasa, the original king of the Pride Lands. That opening scene where Rafiki broke open the gourd, made a mark on Simba's head with the juice and dust and lifted him towards the sun from Pride Rock is the most recognizable scene of the movie, because that's how it all began. As Simba had grown up, he had to learn about his issues in life, try to stay away from trouble (that scene where Mufasa and Simba had a long talk "SIMBA, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, etc." TOTALLY taught Simba a lesson; after that was the whole "Look at the stars" thing), and later, as a wildebeest stampede, started by Scar, killed Simba's father, now Simba had to grow up all alone and try to figure this whole thing out all by himself.
Later, Simba was lost in the desert with vultures and stuff, and here, enter Timon and Pumbaa. This recognizable phrase, Hakuna Matata, started to change Simba's life, as well as moviegoers', forever! Then we see Simba, Pumbaa, and Timon (with his funny walk) walk across the log in the night, with Simba becoming an adult! Simba then had fallen in love with Nala, and later on, when Simba was worried, Rafiki had come to him, told Simba to look in the water, and Simba decided to return to Pride Rock to become king.
Pride Rock was a bad wasteland; how sad was that. Suddenly, Simba realized that Scar killed Mufasa, and so, they battled on Pride Rock with a fire below!!!!! Simba won, and all was restored, and that beginning scene? This time, with Simba and Nala, we see it again, and thus ends the movie.
"The Lion King" is a terrific film. It had memorable scenes, good lessons, and nothing but Disney Magic. I've seen this in the movies in '94 and the re-release in '95, we had the video for some time, and this played on the Old Disney Channel in the late 90s. Go watch it; I think your life will change forever.
