The Lion King is a 1994 animated musical adventure film
produced by Disney. The film tells the story of Simba, a
young lion born in a kingdom of lions in Africa, who is to succeed his father,
Mufasa. This makes his uncle Scar the second in line to the throne so he plots
with the Hyenas to kill his brother and nephew. Simba is tricked into thinking
he was responsible for his father’s death so he flees the kingdom. After years,
he is persuaded to return home to challenge Scar and overthrow him. 
Many argue that this is Disney’s best-animated film of
all time and I agree. The animation is beautiful and moving, the characters are
wonderful and the songs are incredible. The songs were written by composer
Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice with an original score by Hans Zimmer, and
deserved the awards received – two Academy Awards for its achievement in music.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to watch The Lion
King Musical at the Capitol Theatre and that was a phenomenal experience. Two
seconds into “Circle of Life” and I had shivers. If the musical returns, I
recommend everyone to watch it. The musical just makes me fall in love with the film all over again. I have a soft spot for musical films.
