The Lion King

The adventure-filled journey of Simba, a heroic young lion struggling to find his place in nature's "circle of life" and follow in the regal paw prints of his father, the great King Mufasa, forms the basis of Walt Disney Pictures' extraordinary new animated feature, "The Lion King." Set against the breathtaking natural beauty, mysticism and diversity of the African landscape, captured and stylized here by a team of top artistic talents, Disney's 32nd full-length animated film is a uniquely entertaining coming-of-age allegory and the studio's first to be based on an original story. Using classic storytelling elements, personable characters, memorable music, generous doses of humor and universal themes as building blocks, the film's creative team meticulously and painstakingly crafted the story instead of the more traditional approach of adapting a classic fairy tale or literary favorite.
