if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Oh, this simply has to be the greatest animation film ever. The film features a host of interesting, lovable characters and a fantastic plot, with a few lessons to be learnt in there, as well. The musical element in the film is entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. The animation is wonderful for its time, and the voice overs are done by an exceptional cast, in particular Whoopi Goldberg and Jeremy Irons.This is one to watch again and again, but be sure to have some tissues handy, as well, as the film will make you just as emotional at times as it will make you cry with laughter! The film also has a fantastic score, courtesy of Hans Zimmer.

I have been watching this film since I was very young and I still enjoy it very much to this day and will never get bored of it! The film manages to fulfil everything you could hope for in an animation film: great visuals, catchy songs, likeable and memorable characters, a villain that you love to hate,unexpected plot twists and more! The Lion King is an amazing film for everyone even those who tend to stay away from animated films. If you haven't watched it already please do! Disney did a fantastic job on this one.

I watched this movie quite a few years back but I still remember everything and this is one animated movie that touched me. I mean, how mature an animated can be despite being a children's movie - this is the best example. There are lots of things to learn from this movie and I have shown it to my son who seemed have understood what this movie is actually about. Family, friends and your intentions all matter a lot in life and this movie has shown it all in a funny yet amazing manner. I am lucky to have watched this movie and I will make sure that my grandkids also watch it. They will learn something in life.

The movie I chose to watch was, "The Lion King." After watching this movie, I was able to analyze the world views and themes of this contemporary movie. In this movie, the main character or hero was a lion named Simba. Near the end of the movie, Simbas's main goal is to get rid of his uncle, Scar, who is controlling his land and take back what belongs to him as king. The main adversary he had was Scar because he was controlling his family and territory and Simba had to learn to be strong and fight for what belongs to him. Simba's character flaw at first would be that he is afraid to move on from his past and step up as a leader. Simba's apparent defeat would be when he feels hopeless and lost because he is scared and confused about what to do about becoming king. When Nala comes to seek him for help, he is at first afraid and doubts himself because he is afraid that he will not have the strength to defeat Scar. The final confrontation would be between Simba and Scar when they are fighting on a cliff. At first Simba tells him to leave and never come back but Scar instead tries to kill Simba which results in them fighting. In the end, Simba wins and the he realizes how even though he was afraid of not being as great of a leader as his father was, he was just as great or even better because he reclaimed and restored his rightful territory. The result of his change would be that he finally regained his family and place as rightful king. Overall, I think the main theme would be that although the past can hurt(like when Simba's dad died), and no matter what you have done, we cannot run away from our problems, but rather confront them and choose to persevere. One part of the movie that shows evidence for the movie's moral or message was when Rafiki hit Simba in the head with his staff and told him that "sometimes the past can hurt." Rafiki taught him that although the past can hurt we have to persevere and move on to become who we were meant to be. I agree with this theme because many of us are going through hard times but it does not mean that we should give up or run away from our responsibilities. I think the only thing I would have done differently was go back sooner to help my family because I would feel responsible for them and my territory. I think that this movie coincides with biblical truth because Simba's father comes back in the form of clouds(like God might), to tell Simba that he lives inside Simba(like the Holy Spirit). He tells Simba that he has forgotten him and who Simba really is, just like some of us forget to remember God, our father. The only part that I thought might stray away from biblical truth would be when his father tells him that Simba needs to look inside himself, which as Christians we should look to God not ours,even for strength. By saying this I think they are trying to portray the worldview of Individualism, and how we do not need anyone to help us but maybe a reminder. I think that this movie ultimately condemns evil because in then end Simba defeats his uncle, Scar and takes back what truly belonged to him. I think the main world views in the movie are Post-Modernism and Christianity. I think that they arr portraying the world view of Post-Modernism in it a little because they have the characters of Timon and Pumbaa telling Simba, that "when the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world." They also teach him the famous "Hakuna Matata" song which talks about having no worries in life and living how you want. I think that the movie also portrays some aspects of Christianity because when Simba is talking to his dad in the clouds, he tells Simba that he must take his place in the circle of life and remember who he is, because Simba is his son and "the one true king." In my opinion, this portrays the world view of Christianity because he is basically telling Simba that he needs to remember his purpose in life and remember that he is the one true king, which sounds like Jesus who is the one true king, which we are told about in the Bible. I think that a positive element would be that the movie portrays some positive themes like how we should persevere through all the hurts and roadblocks in our lives. I think a negative element would be that they include the part of Hakuna Matata, and saying how it is okay to live a life care free, and only worrying about oneself. I think that I would recommend this movie to most people and kids because it has a positive message and is rated PG which is appropriate for most ages.
