 The Lion King: The Greatest Disney Film Ever! September 25, 2008
Mitch Clifford (New York)
Every day when I wake up in the morning and I see the sun shining so beautifully and so brightly in the sky, I begin singing to myself "Hakuna Matata" and I know that my day will go well and somehow I'll find a way to make the world a better place and I owe it all to this film. You see, this is a wonderful movie about bringing animals together. Simba is going to be king, only his nasty uncle, Scar, has other ideas and concocts a plan to kill Simba and his father, Mufasa. Fortunately, only Mufasa dies and Simba is scared off into the desert and told never to return. Now, this is where the movie gets oh so incredibly good because Simba meets my two favorite characters in the film: Timon and Pumbaa, a weasel and a warthog. Nathan Lane does the voice of Timon and every time I hear him, it makes me smile. This is where we get to hear the song "Hakuna Matata," which means no worries. This is such an important lesson for everyone, especially with the troubles in the Middle East right now with all the people who hate freedom. See, if you have no worries then you don't have any problems. Of course, Simba takes this a little too far because he ignores his responsibilities. This is where the wonderful song "Circle of Life" comes in. Later, when Nala shows up, we get to hear "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." I know I could! Really, when you think about it, this film teaches us how music can heal the world because every time you hear a song, you learn an important lesson. The greatest parts of the film, I think, are that we get to see monkeys and lions living in peace and harmony and when Mufasa comes to Simba in a vision, it's like Obi Wan Kenobi from "Star Wars" and whenever I think of "Star Wars" I get a big smile on my face. You'll feel kingly watching "The Lion King"!
Absolutely wonderful September 25, 2008

"The Lion King" is one of the best movies ever made. It should be cherished as a Disney classic forever. Mufasa is so wise and Jeremy Irons does a really great job of making Scar evil. I would have to say my favorite character is Simba...because he really had some struggles and he pulled through them. This has some really great lines: Ah yes the past can hurt, but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it. ~Rafiki How can I go back! I'm not who I used to be! ~Simba You are more then what you have become ~Mufasa Remember who you are ~Mufasa There are countless others, but I haven't the time to name them. This movie is really wonderful. The cast is superb and the comedy is really great. It is probably the greatest animated film of all time. Not to mention that the music in this movie is absolutely PHENOMENOL, especially in the scene at the end where Simba climbs Pride Rock. Whoever designed this music has some real talent. I love this movie, it is marvelous.
 Must Have for any family September 18, 2008

This movie is sooo well known that my review will probably not make a difference in the decision for someone to purchase and own this video. It is a broadway classic as well and a must have for anyone.

Patricia Charles (USA)
The disk case was in good condition only thing did not play in the regular dvd player have to look at it on my personal dvd player. I was very disappointed that the second disk was very scratch up, otherwise it played without freezing both disk did play good. I gave it 3 stars for the disk being so scratch up.
 never received!! September 8, 2008
