Advantages: great animation, good music, 5 discs
Disadvantages: expensive

...There is a number of disney films that I enjoy watching very much, to test this I watch them all and repeat it. The test shows my film of favourite was the lion king. My review here is not written with a corner off of one film but all 3 lion king films. It is without any trouble that I will thus tell you that the films are of a fantastic dimension. Nevertheless the idea of having lions in a film along with nature; will give you a pleasant change from watching humans. I bought the Lion King on 5 discs and its an installation of a DVD trilogy : 3 movies with 2 special feature discs. Lion King --------- The story of Lion king is similar to the disney film Bambi, but instead of the fight with the forest animals they use africa and the words which carry me outside in the manner of the film I cannot describe to you. I will tell you... Read review

Advantages: Everything is good
Disadvantages: Nothing is bad

...The Lion King is the 1994 offering from Disney, and is widely regarded as the best of the more modern Disney films. It is the highest grossing Disney animation film, and has also produced award winning songs such as 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. The Plot In the Pride Lands of Africa, the lion is King in the Circle of Life. King Musafa and Queen Sarebi are blessed with a cub, Simba, and this tale follows Simba as he is first led astray by his Uncle Scar, and then a tragedy occurs and the finger of blame is pointed firmly at Simba. Fleeing, Simba finds comfort in the form of Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog, and relaxes in their company, following the motto of 'hakuna matata' (it means 'no worries'!!!!!), which has become a household phrase over the past decade or so due to the popularity of the film. Soon, Simba... Read review

Advantages: It is an outstanding movie which is a treat for the whole family.
Disadvantages: It is not good as compared to the first movie.

...Lion King 2: Simba's Pride The sequel of the record breaking film Lion King is a good movie. Once again Disney has mantained the quality of their songs in their animated movies. The film opens with an absoloutely marvelous song. You will thought that if the opening of an animated movie is so good, how good will be its ending. The first 20-25 minutes of the movie are exactly like the first movie. Their is only a difference of chracters. In the first movie Mufasa teaches Simba about the circle of life and told him to be careful. But this time, Mufasa is being replaced by Simba and Simba is being replaced by her daughter Kiara. Kiara is Nala's daughter and those who loved the funny things of Timon and Pumba, they are going to have the same ride again. This is truly an epic. But some peple might not like it because...

...Quick over view of story Simba newly born cub to be king of pride rock one day, his uncle Scar has other plans with the hyenas he manages to kill simba's dad and scares simba into running away. Simba returns to pride rock once he is a grow up lion and takes his place at pride rock by defeated his uncle not has easy in the game thought. :) The game In this game you play as Simba, you start as a cub at pride rock having to climb a few rocks and beat a hyena this is tougher then it sounds you get lizards spitting and the hyena is tricky but not too hard. My favourite level in this game is the stampede the graphics are good and the movement is fanastic and this level is much harder then the rest. The graphic's The are colours are clean... Read review

Advantages: Costumes, Set, Good Cast, diverse music
Disadvantages: storyline, Disney

...Being dragged along by my partner did not put me in the best frame of mind. As a natural critic of everything Disney has touched in recent years, and also the kind of person who has an instant dislike for most West End/show/Disney music that appears in the Top40, I really did think Grandstand may have been a better choice of entertainment for my Saturday afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised by The Lion King. Although I found the story very shallow and lacking any significant spark, I was pleasantly surprised by the 'non-radio play' music that made up the bulk of the show - a good fusion of various African influences with the common Disney formula. Most surprising of all was the quality of the costumes. On the way, I overheard someone wondering how the characters would make the transition from cartoon to stage. Through... Read review
