Probably my favourite of all the Disney movies, this brings back fond memories and it still makes me laugh and get very teary in certain places!
The voice cast is amazing; especially Jeremy Irons who brings such malice and contempt into Scar's character, whilst James Earl Jones brings real authority and kindness to the great King Mufasa.
Of course this movie is all about Simba - the cheeky cub prince as he discovers life's hard lessons; both Jonathon Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick give Simba a youthful naivete and sense of wonder as he makes two unlikely friends, the hilarious meerkat Timon, wonderfully voiced by Nathan Lane and the proud and gentle warthog Pumbaa.
The animation is still breathtaking and seeing it again in 3D gave it some lovely enhancements.
The music throughout is beautiful and the songs really bring the story to life and are so enjoyably memorable!
A beautiful film that really is King of them all!
