The Lion King (1994)



I know, I know, I know. This is one of the most beloved animated films of all time, and in no way requires a review. I don't even need to remind any of you how awesome this film is. I got this film on Blu-ray for Christmas and thought I'd give it a little shout-out.

From the Hamlet-inspired storyline to the amazing vocal performances (James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons, especially), Elton John's memorable songs and the gorgeous animation, this film (and Beauty and the Beast) is basically a cinematic trophy acknowledging Disney's comeback in the 90s. We grew up with it, we love it, it's a great movie, plain and simple.

And who doesn't LOVE that intro? It still gives me goosebumps!



Happy viewing!
