Lion King, The

USA 1994, 84 minutes
Rating: [G]
Genres: Family / Animation, Shakespeare

Aroview: Not only the king of animated success stories, but very close to the top grossing movie of all time, thanks not only to Disney's marketing beast but the sure-fire fusion of '90s technology, irresistibly cute characters, an epic score and old-fashioned storytelling.

This retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet celebrates a much happier ending. Although one particular death may prove too heartbreaking for smaller children.

4 stars (Very Good) Simba, a lion cub and heir to the throne of Pride Rock, learns his place in the world. Hard not to love this absolute classic, and box office smash hit, that is still loved by kids of all ages. ~GenXGirl
