I just loved this movie, the music, the character's, the
beautifully drawn sequences. Superb voice acting, good
storyline, when all these attributes are thrown in a movie,
you end up with a masterpiece. Well done!

I enjoyed this movie ever since it came out. It has become
one of my most favorites. When they come out with The Lion
King 2 Simbas Pride, I found it exciting. Also since The
Lion King came out it improved my drawing and I am actually
good at drawing some of the characters.

This is the best animation movie I've ever seen! I think
persons of all ages can enjoy it. Even as an adult you
could surely appreciate the beautiful drawings, the
wonderful music and the touching story. I already have the
VHS and I just got the VCD for my birthday from my dearest
boyfriend :) Now I hope DVD will have a lot of specials
that make worth buying that one too!

Seeing The Lion King was like seeing Chuckarama for the
first time; I loved everything about it and I wanted to
everything I saw.

This was the first animated film i had ever seen, that
successfully hit the adult market with a bullseye. The
story is more mature, ther characters more well
rounded...yes even timone and pumba and the artistry is jaw
drapping. You may watch this film with your kids, for the
first time, but youll be watching it again..when they go to
bed.
