The last time I saw it was approximately eleven years ago at the age of nine. Honestly I'm more impressed with it now than I probably was as a kid.

Between the brilliant animation, engaging storyline, and rather talented voice acting, complete with an Elton John soundtrack, I find it quite easy to see why this is the highest grossing traditionally animated film ever.

i would agree

just dont watch the sequels though. you will be disappointed

lion king is amazing, but nothing can touch the brilliance that is toy story

No one should ever watch any sequel to a classic Disney film. They freakin' ruin the movies with sequels, it's ridiculous.

Oh, and yes Lion King is a fantastic movie, one of my favorite.

I remember in the original VHS copy I had as a kid there was some sort of error in the audio. In the scene when Scar has Mufasa hanging from the cliff over the stampede, Mufasa says something like "Scar!... Brother!" but in between the two nouns you can slightly hear a different voice saying 'brother' as if it was a cue or something.

That's another one I haven't seen in years. I'll probably catch it soon.

Other favorites: Bambi, Pinocchio, and The Fox and the Hound.

This.

Disney sequels tend to get progressively "bubble wrapped." Example: the first song of "Return of Jafar" where the Genie sings about how awesome friends are.

^ Everything after the first one is just a re hash.

I didn't mind the all the Aladdin sequels. Granted, I have seen any of them since I was like 10.

Elton John and Rick Astley singing in harmony.

I can't believe how win this thread is, I haven't seen The Lion King or Toy Story for fucking years, I thank this thread for the nostalgia and for giving me something to DL.

The Lion King is the only Disney movie I ever liked, I think I watched it like 8 or 9 times in the cinema when it came out, brilliant film, absolutely outstanding.

Lately I've been finding myself re-watching Ratatouille quite often.

I want to persuade an english teacher to study the lion king when shakespeare comes up.

Anyone who watches a movie 8 or 9 times is fucking insane.

Let alone that i's a Disney movie.

That aside, if you're exaggerating, disregard this post.

Nice, Hamlet if I remember correctly? Been a few years since H.S.

Lion King is pretty tits, but Fox and the Hound is a close second.

Hell yeah! Probably my favorite Disney movie.

Then I'm insane by your standards, no joke but I can easily watch a movie up to ten times easily, if I download something new I can just re-watch it over and over.

Films like Full Metal Jaket I can't even quantify the number of times I've watched them, then there's other films I always watch when I'm tripping or coming down, stuff like Spirited Away or Akira.

it's one of my favorites too but if i remember correctly that movie was so goddamn depressing. i mean, thats the kind of shit that will traumatize a child.

I've seen Shrek at least 30 times when I was like 10-11. Knew the whole script and everything. Forgot it now though :/ I've also watched 28 Days Later like 9 times. First I watched it because it was just fucking awesome, but then I started studying it for film making purposes.

The Fox and the Hound.

my all time favorite as a kid. although, when it was pretty sad when i was that little.

i liked aladin: king of theives. where he meets his dad and they find a golden hand or somthing.

I've also watched 28 Days Later ... then I started studying it for film making purposes.
Excellent film for such a reason. I also try to listen to the commentary for as many films as possible, especially those including the director and producer -- very insightful concerning the process.

Same, though I have to say for 28 Days Later in particular, the commentary was a bit lacking. It clarified a few things that happened in the movie and added a bit to the story line, but had almost nothing on the actual making of the movie except for their mistake with Malor.

ahem...the sword in the stone?

I never saw it. :(
