SYNOPSISDisney’s “The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.BONUS FEATURESPlay Movie with Director Jon Favreau IntroPlay Movie with Audio CommentarySing Along with The MovieSONG SELECTION: "Circle of Life"SONG SELECTION: "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"SONG SELECTION: "Be Prepared"SONG SELECTION: "Hakuna Matata"SONG SELECTION: "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"SONG SELECTION: "Spirit"SONG SELECTION: "Never Too Late"The Journey to The Lion King: The MusicThe Journey to The Lion King: The MagicThe Journey to The Lion King: The Timeless TaleMore To Be Scene: "Circle of Life"More To Be Scene: "I Just Can't Wait To Be King"MUSIC VIDEO: "Never Too Late" By Elton JohnMUSIC VIDEO: "Spirit" Performed by BeyonceProtect The PrideMore To Be Scene: "Hakuna MatataSONG SELECTION: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”

Categorically . . . . Brilliant!
This is visually fantastic, with great sound, and effects. A superb storyline, for all ages in the whole film. Really enjoyed it!

Really good film.
Perfect for fans of the original and people who haven't seen it. I know there's a lot of criticism over Disney remaking their classics, but they are classics for a reason, and there's nothing wrong with opening them up to people who are less interested in cartoons or older movies.

Fantastic Disney Movie
A must have movie whether you are a Disney fan or not. The effects for this movie are out of this world. A brilliant remake of what is already a brilliant story. Well done Disney

While good, it’s a small patch on the Animated Cartoon
While not as good as the cartoon the film looks amazing especially the level of detail. I really hoped that they would mix things up again however being truer to life the film now lacks the humour the animated version had and it's easily missed.There are sections that are better than the animated cartoon but this is overshadowed with the bits that are worse because of the different ways to play out a scene because it's live action. And the less we speak about the additional bits and singing can you feel the love tonight in broad daylight the better.James Earl Jones unfortunately sounds really old but I loved having him back, Donald Glover does a great job with Simba as well as Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner as Pumbaa & Timon.John Oliver as Zazu is a little weak and you miss that humour that Rowan Atkinson brought to the role and the same can be said about Chiwetel Ejiofor as scar, he just doesn’t have that terrifying voice Jeremy Irons had.The less we speak about Beyoncé the better!
