The Lion King (1994)


Tricked into thinking he killed his father, a guilt ridden lion cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King.

Superior animated movie with a plot of a Shakespearean format, therefore more enjoyable for an adult audience.

Maltin ***: "With distant echoes of BAMBI, this entertaining Disney cartoon feature ...has dazzling scenics, some show-stopping animation, and outstanding voice work - but drama so intense (and comed so hip), it's not really for very young viewers."

Halliwell ***: "An entertaining animated drama with some stunning moments, but a somewhat preachy tone; it isn't as much fun as th recent Disney features, although it found great favour with the public."
