download the new version for ipod The Lion King

Movies like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame to name but a few.įor my money The Lion King is the pick of the bunch or the pick of the pride if you will. The Animation was groundbreaking, the songs were catchy (Elton John's imput was top-notch), the humour was for adults too and the vocal cast was astounding. You have James Earl Jones, Matthew Boderick, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg and the list goes on. The 'choices for voices' were spot on and delivered very effectively.Īlthough the setting is somewhat different, the story itself is nothing new from Disney. The tried and tested formula, used from Snow White right through to modern movies today was the same.

Becoming seperated from one's family, rediscovering the meaning of family and finding ones own identity through regaining family. But the formula works and audiences connect with it. Besides, each time Disney attempt to break or bend the rules the movie tends to be pretty lame i.e.

There are so many memorable moments in The Lion King. From the opening sunrise 'NNAAAAAA SSOOOPENNYAA TUMA LEEKI MA LAAD', to the Gopher who pops up and reports to Zazu 'News from the under ground', to the stampede, to can you feel the love tonight, to everything that Timon and Pumbaa say.

My personal favourite part is Scars song, be prepared.
