It was a hot, summer Saturday afternoo...June, 1994. It was a hot, summer Saturday afternoon. I sat on a worn movie-theatre seat with a hole in its faded upholstery where you could see the foam filling peeking out. On one side, my father was trying to unstick his feet from the years-old layers of sticky grime that coated the movie theatre's floors (as I've mentioned before, '80s and to some extent '90s New York was something of a gritty dump); on the other side, my little brother sat with his face frozen in an expression of unadulterated awe that he still saves for viewings of "The Lion King" to this day.<br /><br />This is where I was when I saw the movie that changed it all for me. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Disney movies. With five kids, I don't think my parents missed a cinematic showing of a Disney animated film from 1985 'til sometime in the early 2000s. Maybe later. And prior to "The Lion King", we knew that Disney could deliver 'epic'--after all, we had seen "Beauty and the Beast". But this was different, and even though I was just a kid, I could tell.<br /><br />I remember seeing the trailers for "The Lion King" on the "Coming soon" segments of the VHS tapes we usually fast-forwarded through. No dialogue. No words, period--minus the singing. Shots of ants scurrying along a branch, of birds flying over a waterfall, of a brilliant red sun rising on the horizon. Cut to the behind-the-scenes shots of animators sketching as a real, live lion sat in their studio. <br /><br />Disney movies have made me cry before. But strangely, most of the moments that make me tear up as an adult didn't have such a deep impact on me as a child. However, there is an exception to the rule. I can vividly remember sitting in that packed movie theatre way back in 1994, bawling like a baby as Simba begged Mufasa to get up so they could go home. The earth-shaking realization that no, your parents won't always be there to make it all okay again is a frightening and difficult one for children and adults of any age.<br /><br />There's a running joke in my family that whenever I like a character in a movie or TV show, he or she is likely to die. It happens all the time. Mufasa is my all-time favorite character in "The Lion King". Part of the credit goes to the incredible James Earl Jones, whose voice is one of a kind. ut the rest of the reason is simply because Mufasa is absolutely PERFECT. He is all at once a wise ruler, a loving family man, the resposible older brother left to fret over his sibling's lawless ways and poor choices, a genuiely scary threat to anyone who put his loved ones in harm's way, and just an all-around nice guy. I want Mufasa for my dad.<br /><br />Case in point: this movie had it all. Art. Music. Comedy. Romance. Tragedy. Drama. It is entertaining enough to captivate even the youngest of viewers, yet deep enough to be the subject of a postgraduate-level dissertation. It drew influeces from diverse and impressive source materials (Shakespeare for kids!) And it was, simply put, a fine movie. What else can I say? A excellent analysis of an epic film.

I am still following you and I check ...Hi, Breanna! I am still following you and I check this page every couple of days. I thought there will be update soon when you added the new poll :).<br />For me, The Lion King is a film that I've never fully appreaciated when I was a kid. I know, strange. Maybe I was more of a princess-movies type but I still remember that I found The Lion King kinda boring and well...shallow, like it was purposedly playing on our emotions in a very obvious way. Please, don't kill me! ;) <br />To say something on my behalf, I truly do understand The Lion King now. Maybe I've learnt that the most true and powerful stories are the ones that look so obvious and predictible on the first sight, maybe I'll just go and blame my brother who was telling me for years that The Lion King was cool (ok, he sided with Scar and hyenas, but I guess he still counts as a fan of the movie).<br />As for now, though I haven't added The Lion King to my Disney movies Top 5, I thoroughly enjoy it everytime I watch it, especially the songs and animation. And Morning Report was a waste of money if you ask me, but luckily it's short enough for me to bear it. And my favorite characters are Scar, hyenas and Rafiki (sorry, Simba, I've never find you interesting as a character and you suck in TLK II).<br />Yes, sequel. Probably one of the very few Disney sequels I enjoy. And no, jon TK, I don't find it very logical either (I mean - there were some other lions than the ones from the Pride Rock and nobody told us?!). But it has great songs (can you believe I love "Love Will Find a Way" more than "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"?), believable characters (Kovu, you rule) and a love story instead of a story of revenge (basically...). <br />....I hope this comment won't be unbearably long. <br /><br />And as much as I love reading any of your reviews, Breanna, I must say I am truly looking forward to your articles on the 1997 and 1998 movies ;).

...And now some stuff I haven't already said...<br /><br />I agree that "Morning Report" does not work in this movie. "Human Again" was part of the original plans for BATB, so it's re-inclusion wasn't too disastrous. But it is very hard to retroactively edit an animated film (as the released version of Black Cauldron makes clear). Most of the songs in the stage production had already been taken from subsequent Lion King sequels and albums. My favorite being "He Lives in You', which opens Lion King II, but originated on the first film's tie-in album Rhythm of the Pride Lands. Not much else to say about that sequel. The animation improved greatly from earlier direct-to-video fare, but the story bores me and doesn't make sense. And Andy Dick is in it. Lion King 1 1/2 is much more fun, though it suffers Back to the Future Part II syndrome of having characters in two places at once by rewriting history. ...how did I digress here? Oh, "Morning Report". You CAN watch the original version on the Platinum DVD. You have to go into one of the set-up menus and change it to original theatrical version. For me the worst part of putting the song in is that it takes away all Zazu's little jokes ("I've told the elephants to forget it, but they can't.")<br /><br />Another problem I have with the movie is Matthew Broderick. He just never feels like he quite fits in this movie to me, or I never completely believe him in all his moments as adult Simba. It's close, but like Sophia Coppola in Godfather III, he feels out of sync to me with everyone else. Considering that Mufasa and Sarabi are played by the same actor and actress who played the King and Queen in Coming to America, wouldn't it have been fun to have Eddie Murphy play Simba? ...Of course, I doubt Murphy would be believable growing up out of JTT.<br /><br />Oh, and don't be embarrassed about crushing on JTT. Every girl that age in the 1990s did. It crested right around the time Man of the House came out, and fizzled away along with his career.jon TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738915806502002447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759137971748822612.post-89149100531145206022011-06-08T05:01:22.772-05:002011-06-08T05:01:22.772-05:00Awesome review!!
