The Lion King (DVD) Reviews

The Lion King Disney DVD In my humble opinion, I would class this as Disneys best animated film. The story is a great epic tale, given the traditional Disney look and the amazing african theme, which gives us a great deal more adventure and emotion than some of the later Disney movies. The mix of popular music with african ...  Read the complete review

Released in cinemas in 1994 and on DVD in 2003, Disney created an amazing tale about a lion cub, who goes through life, wondering where he belongs. Simba is a loveable front character who we follow, as he goes on an adventure and discovers he is maybe in the wrong place and should return to his home lands. As a cub, he is ...  Read the complete review

This film is considered a Disney classic and rightly so I believe - it has all the elements of a good Disney film; cute characters in baby lion Simba and his friend Nala, the villainous uncle Scar, very catchy songs (especially Hakuna Matata) the tragedy of Simba's Dad dying (with the extra tragedy that Simba thought he was responsible) ...  Read the complete review

Disney has been a much loved film industry for many years. Family favourites have been amongst these such as Cinderella, sleeping beauty and Aladdin. This is definitely one of my favourite films and I think the longest film I have had (vhs). It tells a story of a lion cub who as much respect for this father, the lion king of ...  Read the complete review

If I had to pick a favourite Disney film this would be it. The songs are especially my favourite part, I couldn't pick one favourite but the circle of life and can you feel the love tonight. I like the Elton John version which you can hear in full at the end of the film and also when Timon and Pumbaa join in as this also makes it funny. ...  Read the complete review

This film is such a classic. The first time I watched it I was 10 years old, I was completely hooked right the way through. From the regal Mufasa to hilarious Timone and Pumba, I just loved it all. I then saved up my own pocket money to be able to buy it. Fast forward 12 years and now I watch it with my toddler daughters. The ...  Read the complete review

Having a two-year old daughter reintroduces me to the world of animation again. Lion King is a classic and is not hard to find so we end up owning a copy. I've probably seen this a hundred times and I get the same feeling of awe and sympathy. This is one of the finest Disney Animation has ever produced. It told of a young cub ...  Read the complete review

The Lion King: The lion king was released in 1994 by Disney and I have to say it's the best Disney film ever. The film: Simba is the son of Mufasa, king of the pride lands, he learns that he is next in line to be king and has to take on certain responsibilities but being young he all he wants to do is run ...  Read the complete review

If you haven't seen The Lion King, then I strongly recommend that you do. You'll be very glad that you did. A new lion-cub has been born by the name of Simba. His father, Mufasa, is the king, so Simba is the new prince. All of the animals rejoice his birth, expect for the evil Scar, Mufasa's brother, as he was next ...  Read the complete review

"I gonna be a mighty king like no king was before!"(The lion king) This movie is quite simply a classic. It was put together by those brilliant minds at Disney, who manage to pull of a great film after a great film, infact this is there best. The film follows the life of a small lion called simba. The film is ...  Read the complete review

For years and years the magic of Disney has entertained families of children – big and small – working a dream of fantasy stories and making them reality. For my money (pjs looks in wallet), which really isn't very much right now, this is one of the strongest stories from the Disney studios. To children ...  Read the complete review

The Lion King is one of Disneys later releases and it is excellent. It tells us the story about Simba - prince of the Pridelands which is where they all live. His Dad, King Mufasa teaches Simba loads of useful stuff. There is also Simba's childhood sweetheart - Nala. Anyway after Simba visits his evil Uncle - ...  Read the complete review

The Lion King has proved to be Disney's most successful film at the box offices and what many think, their best film yet. I loved the whole era between The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas (which also included Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast), I really think Disney were at their best then. After Pocahontas the movies started to lose a ...  Read the complete review

This film is one of love, sadness and hate. A young lion cub called Simba goes through a rocky childhood as he has seen his father die and has nearly been murdered by his evil uncle Scar. He runs away believing he is responsible for his fathers death. He then meets Timone and Pumba. This film is very educational as it shows ...  Read the complete review

'The Lion King' is generally perceived to be one of Disney's finer additions to its film repetoire, and there is a good reason for this. It is the story of a young lion, Simba, prince to his impressive father, and his challenges as he grows up, to face the responsibilities of a king, in order to succeed his father. ...  Read the complete review

This is one of Disney’s finest animations. The story concerns Simba, the son of the king of the pride, Mufasa (voiced by the excellent James Earl Jones). Mufasa’s brother is Scar (Jeremy Irons) who is plotting to rule the pride. He teams up with the hyenas to put his plan into action and in doing so he kills Mufasa. Not ...  Read the complete review

I went to the cinema and the film I wanted to see (I can't even remember what it was!)was sold out so me and my friend agreed we'd watch The Lion King as there was nothing else on. In we went, not really expecting much. I was very surprised just how excellent it was! Story follows: Pride rock is where the Lions live and ...  Read the complete review

I first saw this film when it first came out at the pictures and couldn't get over how good it was(at 17 sad I know lol)so when my daughter was born in 1995 I just ha to have it ---for her of coarse. My daughter was the same we never really encouraged her to watch the TV but when she got to 2years and I had a second child it was ...  Read the complete review

One of the hugely successful animated blockbusters that saw a revival in the 1990s, 'The Lion King' must be the Disney empire's crowning achievement of recent years, both critially and commercially. The story is reminiscent of 'Bambi', both being concerned with the inquisitive young whippersnapper who learns the ...  Read the complete review

In the continuing tale of Simba, Lion King II doesn't even come close to the original movie. Although my 4 year old liked it (he has a thing for lions), I have a different opinion. First of all, I don't think I can qualify this movie as a "sequel". In the original, there was no mention that Scar (the villain) ...  Read the complete review
