The Lion King (I) (1994)
10/10
A Shakespeare inspired story told in beautiful narrative
21 July 2019
What an interesting (and albeit fun) way to tell Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in a cartoonish fashion set in the Animal Kingdom.

Yet, despite the familiar base story, it came out EPIC as hell-- Becoming one of Disney's best animated films ever produced! (Explanation followed~)

You know a movie is just darn good when it leaves you emotionally riled up each time you watch it. And Lion King just does that. Especially the beginning, the goosebumps-- *shivers* But apart from the epic narrative, the morale in it as just as powerful: "Remembeing who you are and that running away from your past / responsibilities won't fix anything. Instead embrace your past mistakes, learn from it and move on. Also remembering that worrying most of the time won't help either. Remeber to have fun once in a while.(Hakuna Matata!)

Growing up with this movie has been one hell of a ride, and continues to leave me feeling thrilled each time. (25 yo and still not tired of it!). A definite must-watch. Young parents of our time now should introduces this to their children!!
