The Lion King first came out in the year 1994.It is about a lion named Simba. Simba is the prince of the Pridelands. With Simba next in line to be king, Scar is now second in line.Scar is not happy about this and makes a plan to kill Simba.

The movie has a very good and well developed storyline. The writers, editors, and other developers made sure that the storyline was never lost throughout the film. Another positive thing was that the background music improved the overall effects(效果)of the scenes and helped bring the movie together. Some of the characters were very easy to connect to. People could find at least one character that they seem to relate to in one way or the other.

Some disadvantages were that during the songs, some of the the lyrics were hard to understand. Unless you looked up the lyrics to the songs, you had no idea what some of the words were. Also with the 3D glasses on the color was somewhat dulled. The color is more vivid when watched n its original format. There were a few characters that seemed undeveloped fully. Simba’s mother, Sarabi, did not have that big of a part in the film. As the mother of the Prince and Queen of the King there should have been more scenes with Sarabi.

I personally enjoyed The Lion King as a whole.Apart from the unclear lyrics and dulled color, I loved every single aspect of the movie.I believe it has a great lesson to teach all of its viewers, young and old. People are able to take what is put in the movie and can apply it to their own lives. In my opinion, The Lion King is one of the best films Disney has ever produced.
