It's the story of the father and son relationship, and the struggles of their journey to find their place in the world. The movie is based on the book of the same name by Roger Priddy.
The Lion King is the sequel to the 1994 movie The Lion King, and the story is about Mufasa, who is the father of Simba. Lion King is a new movie based on the animated series of the same name. I highly recommend the stage version in the West End, and the sequels are actually two of the better DTV sequels.10/10.Softonic review Lion King is back with a new movie! The humour here is fantastic, and you cry here a bit here as well. Scar is up there with the best Disney villains, like Jafar, Malificent and Frollo. The vocal standout is Jeremy Irons as Scar, who frightened me when I was little. James Earl Jones lends his booming voice to the majestic King Mufassa, and Nathan Lane, Rowan Atkinson and Whoopi Goldberg provide flawless comic relief. Jonathan Taylor Thomas is very likable as Young Simba, and Matthew Broderick, while not as good, is above average too. The best song is "Can you feel the Love Tonight?" but the others go without fault, "Circle of Life" is so spirit rousing especially. The songs are absolutely great, I had no idea that Elton John could write like that. The music by Hans Zimmer is outstanding, a perfect mix of African chants and pure Hollywood. The highlights were the stampede and the fight between Scar and Simba. The animation is superb, the backgrounds look so rich, and for once, there are no stiff movements. It was one of the first movies I ever saw, so that accounts for how much I love it. This is a fantastic movie, and I am not lying! my 13 year old sister loves this movie, and I can't fault this either.
Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 10 / 10 This is my sister's favourite film, and one of mine! The whole experience washed over me without touching or involving me once, and don't get me started on the exaggerated voice acting. The comedy relief is laboured and the songs trite. The positive thing about this is that the character animation is very good indeed, although I found the backdrops simplistic in the extreme. Jeremy Irons' bad guy is that just because.
The characters are trite and one-dimensional without anything in the way of depth or motivation. The story is copied from HAMLET and simplified to get rid of all the complexity. This is over-simplistic, spoon-fed pulp for the masses. Decades later, I've finally watched it for the first time and the experience has reaffirmed all of the negativity I associate with Disney animation. I didn't like what I saw of Disney movies as a kid and by the time THE LION KING came out in 1994 I was 13 and couldn't be less interested in kid's films anymore anyway.
