"A grand masterpiece of a movie."

"This has become one of my comfort movies."

"Grand in scope. Incredible acting and music (including contributions by Elton John). Beautiful animation based on the actual anatomy and physiology of the animals depicted. Draws from a Shakespearean tragedy and makes it interesting and compelling for children. Truly an incredible film. "

"The Lion King (1994) is an animated masterpiece that has left an indelible mark on audiences of all ages. Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, and featuring a stellar voice cast including Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, and Jeremy Irons, the film's story is a timeless tale of destiny, betrayal, and redemption. Set against the backdrop of the African savannah, The Lion King follows the journey of Simba, a young lion cub who must overcome tragedy and reclaim his rightful place as king. The film beautifully intertwines stunning animation, memorable characters, and a poignant storyline, all complemented by Hans Zimmer's evocative score and unforgettable songs by Elton John and Tim Rice. From the iconic opening sequence of Circle of Life to the emotional climax, The Lion King captures the essence of what makes Disney magic. Its themes of family, courage, and growth resonate deeply, making it not just a beloved children's movie, but a profound cinematic experience. An epic saga of love and adventure, The Lion King remains a cornerstone of animated cinema and continues to inspire generations."

"Absolute best of the best!"

"The OG Disney Stan/Fandom for me. Like.you couldn't tell me shid about this or Tarzan in the late 90's w/o me going crazy! #Fav90'sDisneyAnimatedFilm"

"It’s one of the best! "

"Childhood favorite! But I’ve always cried at Mufasa ever since I was kid and every single time since, even now at 25 I have to skip that part otherwise I cry and I’m heartbroken for the rest of the week 😭"

"Might be my favorite Disney Animated film. A classic. "

"IVE NEVER SEEN A KING OF BEAST WITH QUITE SO LITTLE HAIR🗣️🗣️🗣️"

"Loved this as a kid. At that age I didn't notice all the weird inappropriate lessons it taught me. Life sucks, learn to be apathetic and jaded. Grow up and be angry and strong and vengeful. Then take whoever you want as a bride even if she is your family member. Then everyone will love you! Ugh terrible things to teach children, dressed up with talking animals and pretty colors to make it easier to consume. I watched this so many times as a kid and it did impact how I behaved for most of my life by brainwashing myself with it"

"Iconic!"

"Easily 1 of the best animated movies ever made and my favorite "

"Not my kind of thing."

"This movie is easily one of my top ten childhood movies. It tells such an amazing story and the songs are a bop! i’ve seen this well over 10 times but I don’t think i could ever get bored of it! Bonus for The Musical version, where I got to play “Timon.”"

"Beautiful story about the circle of life simba growing up with his regret but pride in his home made me cry"

"This movie will always have a special place in my heart. It’s a nostalgic comfort movie for me even though I cry at that one part every time. "

"Though the story and characters are quite simple, Disney uses phenomenal voice acting, music, and animation to make effective storytelling."

"Oh I just can’t wait to be King!!!"

"Still my favourite Disney movie "

"It was just so good but, I feel they should’ve picked someone else to be Nala. Don’t get me wrong I love Beyoncé but, it just didn’t sound right for the character. The original is just such a classic to me."

"Great movie "

"The first time I saw this it was 2 a.m. and I was watching the 24-hour Disney movie channel in the hospital. I was doped up on Demerol after breaking my pelvis in a car accident. I bawled my eyes out when Mufasa was killed. I was seriously out loud yelling like "Omg! Disney seriously comitted a cartoon murder!! I can't believe this! Nurse!!... Anybody!" Needless to say, the nurse didn't come. She knew I was high and probably didn't care anyway. I've seen it many times since then. It's awesome!!"

"Yes and was an amazing remake of the original"

"The Lion King is a film that can be rewatched so many times, and no matter how many times you watch it you will feel the need to sing-along to the songs. This is a true Disney masterpiece."

"The great thing about “The Lion King” is that the story could be adapted for the stage as well! "

"Ahhh-WeeMoWop!!"

"The monkey 🐒.. i forget his name"

"Do you really need me to recommend you one of the Disnry renaissance movies?? It's good, the songs go off, animation is amazing (there's one part where the animators really went wild and were like ooo look at us rotating TWO lions in space, we don't care about carpal tunnel), and in the final battle Simba flies through the air. It's good. "

"I loved it! "

"I actually don’t remember!😂 What was it? "

"I think I’m going to start watching the silent sea on Netflix"

"I like the take on this common trope"

"One of the best animated films of all time. Amazing music, story and animation. Also very funny"

"I watched it as a kid... It was good... but would not recommend for those under ~10"

"The music is essential to this film. I was obsessed with it as a kid. Watched the film at least 50 times and listened to a tape of the soundtrack like 100 times. "

"No I havent! have you?"

"Either Timon or Pumbaa.. I love characters that break the mould to keep things interesting 🙂"

"Hakuna Mata"

"Classic "

"My all time favorite movie"

"It's a really good film. One of my favourites"

"The Hula"

"This is my absolute favourite Animated Disney movie of all time. Obviously, if you know anything about the story it is Hamlet, as played by animals. The voices are perfectly chosen, rich and acted so well. The songs are an absolute treat! Elton John gives his all with the music in this film and you feel it - down to your toes."

"The opening"

"Adorable, cute classic that's always remembered for years to come so curl up with popcorn and twizzlers for this beautiful story "

"Who didn’t "

"A great film from my childhood. A classic."

"While this is some 20 years old, it is still a classic coming of age tale worth telling. This movie is fantastic, the cast of characters is a wonderful mix of leaders, heroes, villains, fools, sages and faithful companions. It is impossible to not enjoy this story. "

"This is my all time favorite movie, when i was a child and the movie just came out on video tape , i got a VCR for my birthday and watched this movie over and over all day long for WEEKS.. i even named my dog simba lol 😂 best movie EVER!!! "

"No i haven’t ! But definitely want to watch it ! "

"I loved it!"

"All of them"

"idk l like all of them"

"Be prepared- scar (in song)"

"I have, yes. The new movie has really amazing graphics and that's about the only good thing I have to say about it, haha. They completely butcher the personalities of Timon and Pumba and they ruin what was, in my opinion, one of the best villain songs of all time "Be Prepared". Personally I'd say stick with the original. "

"Hakuna Matta"

"Rafiki firstly and then Timmon and Pumba"

"Simba"

"Ya I watch it"

"The money "

"I love this movie"

"Classic"

"Rafiki"

"Yes, in the theater and at home. Different but good."

"Yes, but my ❤ will always belong to the original. I named my old puppy Simba after it. "

"Simba!"

"Omg sorry I didn’t see this.. Scar is my favorite! Whose yours?"

"Ooooh! I like all three movies! (1, 1 1/2, and 2)"

"I actually haven't. Do you know where I can watch it?"

"Simba, whom I used as a parallel to Hamlet when I taught English Lit. "

"I haven’t, is it any good?"

"Rambo"

"No es nueva pero es bonita "

"Excellent Disney animation movie: musical, comedy, drama, all three into one."

"My favorite movie is willow it is on disney"

"Really good if you like old children's animated Disney movies "

"When they sing the circle of life and raise Simba up!"

"There's alot of parts that I love in the movie but I think when Simba is grown up and is talking to Rafiki about if he should go back to the pride or not because he's scared to face the past and Rafiki hits Simba on the head and Simba asks why he did it and Rafiki says it doesn't matter it was in the past Simba said it still hurts and Rafiki said yes it can hurt but you can either run from it or learn from it and i think about that part alot "
