- THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This happens to be an awesome movie! I don't have the 2 disc dvd but I just have the old vhs but I love the anime on the lions and the other animals. It starts at a kingdom of the Pridelands where all kinds of jungle animals live. The king is a proud and kind hearted lion named Mufasa. And his son Simba is looking to be just like Mufasa. Brave and strong. Although the law says once a king dies his son takes his place. Simba also has a friend named Nyla. Just as everything goes great Mufasa's brother Scar kills Mufasa (No blood or stuff like that, this movie is safe for little kids) Simba runs away when Scar made it look like Simba killed Mufasa. Scar becomes a wrong hearted king at the pridelands and Simba find these two crazy animals who raise him fairly and when Simba grown up runs into Nyla she tells him theres no food or water from what Scar's done to the pridelands. Simba is too worried to tell her about Mufasa's death. But Simba soon knows he must go back and take place as king. When he does he defeats Scar and he follows in his father's paw prints and saves the pridelands.
You must buy it!
It's awesome!

- What Is This Teaching Kids?
Maybe I'll get flack about this, but here's an opinion from an angle I don't see anyone else presenting.
Does anyone care what kids are unconsciously learning from movies like this? Yes, Disney did a fine job of blending great animation, music, humour, and plot. But what messages are children learning in this movie?
Children love the music in this movie. Just show it to your kid enough times and they'll be going around the house singing the songs and acting out the characters. Three of the most notable songs are windows into the personalities and agendas of the main characters. There's Scar's song when he's singing to the hyenas about how everything will be great when he becomes the new king, and how he's going to achieve this by killing King Mufassa. The whole scene is lifted right out of those old news reels of Hitler addressing the Nazi army, right down to a goose-stepping hyena army. What's a child learning from this behavior? Getting what you want/power through violence.
Another main song is "Just Can't Wait to be King", where young Simba sings about how great it will be to finally be king- no one will tell him what to do anymore, he'll do whatever he wants, and order everybody around. This is a great attitude to teach a child who doesn't listen to his/her parents, or who has behavior problems.
Another biggie is "Hakuna Matata", (Swahili for "no worries"). Simba's new friends Pumba and Timone counsel the grief-and-guilt-laden Simba not to care about the past, or really anything, or anyone else, just live for yourself, "eat, drink, and be merry..." This is a great one for teaching kids about responsibility, and NOT dealing with real-life issues.
Sure, these songs are all done in fun, and yes, in the end, Simba learns what it really means to be a leader (responsibility), and defeats his murderous Uncle Scar, but interestingly, there's no song to reinforce that. Young kids pick up on the attitudes in the individual scenes and songs- defiance, rebelliousness against authority, power through violence, self-centerdness, indifference... Young kids don't have the attention span to connect these attitudes with their consequences.
There are several overt tribal spiritual messages in the movie as well, not to mention a couple of violent scenes, which might be too much for some kids.
A lot of people will probably think I'm reading too much into this. But young kids are very impressionable, especially when they're engrossed in something like a powerful movie that holds them spellbound.
Long story short, it's important to watch TV and videos with your kids, and screen what they watch first. It allows you to see what they are (unconsciously) learning, and correct any ideas you don't want them to imitate. And yes, the endless commercials at the beginning of the DVD are rediculous. I don't think anybody can beat Disney on trying to capitalize on a captive audience.

This is the best Disney movie ever made. It surpasses anything that Disney has ever made and will ever make. The music is just as good as the movie! A+++++!!!
Rating: - The Most Incredible Disney Films EVER Made!!!
I can't describe how incredible this film was. I have wanted it for years and last year, on my 12th Birthday, my mum gave it to me and I was bloomin' thrilled!!!
Simba is the most adorable cub!!! He has a cute wee face, a cute wee voice, everything about him is so cute!!! I also loved Nala, a beautiful lioness who was best friends with Simba when they were cubs. After reuniting in the jungle, they find romance in each other's company! ADORABLE!!!
It was really upsetting when Scar told the lionesses about Simba and Mufasa's death. The devastated look on Sarabi's face really touched me, poor her!!! I also felt upset when Nala had tears down her face and she was nuzzling into her mother's paw. But the most upsetting and touching part that REALLY got to me was when Simba was trying to wake his dead dad up. He tugged at his ear and pushed him and desperately tried to call for help. He was so alone and started crying. Then he snuggeled underneath his father's massive paw and lay beside him. When I saw it on my B-Day, I cried!!!!!! An extremly touching film!!!
This is my kind of film; about a lion's destiny to become King and rule the Pridelands. Any Disney kid will love it. The adults will love Timon and Pumbaa! Boys will love the fierce fights and girls will love the love scenes between S + N [including me!!!]
The songs were absoloutely incredible!!!!!! My faves are "I Just Can't Wait to be King" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". I also enjoy "Be Prepared" and "Hakuna Matata"! This is were Disney songs are at their best!!!
So apart from Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure and Oliver and Company, this is my favourite Disney film with stunning animation, hilarious humour, touching father-son and mother-son relationships, heartstopping tragedies, sweet love and romance and cool action. I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You HAVE to see it!!!!! If you haven't, you wouldn't know what good Disney films are like!!!!!
!!!!!!AMAZING!!!!!!

- It was all great! But there is a problem with the Personality Profile Quiz in the Bonus Features.
I thought that having this version of The Lion King was great. I loved the new song that they updated into it, called "The Morning Report." A lot of the Bonus stuff was great, too. I enjoy exploring a lot of it. Except that, even though I checked it out in excited curiosity, too, I didn't like a lot of how the Personality Profile went. I love Personality Profiles, by the way. I am a fan of them. I think they're fun! It's fun to put people in a box as best as you can, but this Personality Profile was way off. Even with how Zazu describes you at the end, if you are most like a character that he has pasted as stars in the sky. And the Personality Profile doesn't have near enough Personality questions in it, either, to get you very accurately. Having lots and lots of questions in one game instead of just a few is the only way that you can come up with a very accurate assessment. That is what I know. The more questions are asked about what you are, that you try your best to answer, then the better and more accurately that this game that you play can put you in a box. It should also ask you and have you check off with your remote control with what you most, 2nd most, third most, etc., balanced between, and least are. And it should at least have about 100 Personality questions, to be so extremely accurate. And Zazu should have a lot more says for what you are, at the end, where he can even say a lot more what whatever is all that you checked off means that you all together correctly are. He even exaggerates how bad you are, on the one where you are most like Scar. Just because somebody tends to have a lot of the same problems that he does, doesn't mean that they are near as bad as him. Scar was like the devil! He was a Hitler in a lion's body. Besides, many people out in the World in many different ways tend to be bossy, unfeeling, impatient, intolerant, you name it, but it doesn't mean that most of them are near as bad as Scar. He was the most extreme version of it. So, I find a huge complaint about how bad that Zazu described that I was, when I averaged up at times on it to being most like Scar. I most definitely am not near as evil as Scar. I'm even a Christian, for Heaven's sake! But once I pick a lot of the Choleric type answers in the Personality questions that he asks me, Zazu (who narrates it) first calls me a bunch of names, and says that "I have an obsessive desire to rule the World, and that I didn't care what it would take to get there." Then he tells me that I am a huge troublemaker. Even to the law. Then he says that I deserve to be locked up, then says that I am most like Scar. It was not very nice of him. I averaged out to being most like Nala a few times, too, and a few times being most like Timon. But the way he described me then, too, was mostly definitely not me, and also some of it was even an exaggeration of how my answers mean that I am like. So, even how Zazu describes you at the end of the test is not very accurate, no matter who he says that you are most like. And I find that as a big complaint! And not only the questions it does ask, it should also ask what you from most to least are in the whole list of Personality Types that even come out of the four basic ones, called "Melancholy, Choleric, Phlegmatic, and Sanguine." And if it did do it that way, then it should have two seperate levels in the same game, which is where one is all your Personality Strengths, and the other one is all of your Personality Weaknesses. Then Zazu can be able to tell you at the end who you are most like in the Strengths, and who you are most like in the Weaknesses. This Personality Profile needs a whole lot of improvements. So, I wish that whoever put out this special addition would do it in the way that I wish that they would. If they did, then it would be so much more awesome and exciting. And I wish that every movie released out there would have a huge Personality Test on it, in the way here that I said that I wanted them to be like, to even tell me who in the movie that I am most like in the Strengths, and who I am most like in the Weaknesses. Also, on this, I find it a complaint, too, that the Personality Test couldn't be quiet. I didn't like it very much that there was a repeatitive stupid jungle music on all of it, and that Zazu had to name out all of the questions on the page, when anybody who reads it can read.
