REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 31-Aug-2006) This is my personal favorite film
in the entire world. One of the things I love so much about this film
is the story. It takes a simple foundation then takes it to a level
where most disney films are afraid to go. They add deeper meanings and
morals in which children can learn and adults can remember. The story
may involve animals but their personalities and characteristics are
ones we use and see in every day life. This film is about unconditional
love, responsability, life and death, family, community, friendship,
and facing your deepest fears. The characters are lovable and
relatable. Simba is the character that you find yourself rooting for
through the entire film. Mufasa is the King you have so much respect
for. Timone and Pumbaa are the ones who will have your stomach hurting
for all the laughter you'll be doing. And Scar's the villian you'd love
to punch in the face for all his scheming and lying. The music is
incredible. The songs are entertaining and emotional, with fantsatic
vocals by all the performers. (Including the briliant Sir Elton John).
The Score is astonishing. Capturing the essance of the African Savannah
and the emotion of the story. The animation is at it's best. The
backdrops of Pride Rock, it's kingdom, and the jungle are gorgous. The
characters are well developed representing the real animals they are
modeled after. While still giving each character thier own personality
to stand out in. This has to be one the most hearfelt, entertaing, and
inspirational films I have ever seen. And by far disney's best. Move
over Beauty and the Beast. This film has touched critics and audiences
of all ages alike for several years. This ranks right along side with
The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. As a teenage girl you'd think I'd stay
as far away from this genre as possible but that's how great this film
is. A film that's kept me interested for years and doesn't show any
signs of stopping.A classic now and forever.
Do you know something we don't?
