In addition to finding these two acquintances he also falls in love with a lioness named Nala. So, throughout ...  Read the complete review

(Film only review) Introduction One of the all time classic movies from Disney is The Lion King. It combines various elements of a good film which make it a movie that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age.

Before the more recent successes of 3d style Disney/Pixar films this was probably the ...  Read the complete review
