The Lion King (1994)

Release: June 15, 1994

Let us give it straight about this Shakespearean nonsense in an African savanna of the Pride Lands. The desperate Scar wants to be the next King, though he was absent in the presentation of the King Mufasa and Queen Scarabi's newborn son Simba. When he's old enough, he will succeed as his new king - as Mufasa said "We are all connected in a great Circle of Life" -, but don't let it pounce on Zazu, the royal "bird-visor". Scar's companions were the hyena clan from the Elephant Graveyard. They started the wildebeest stampede that "long lived" the former king and exiled Simba out afterward. Luckily for the son, Timon and Pumbaa rescued him and took it into the jungle paradise and taught him about "Hakuna Matata" (it means "no worries"). Simba grew up with them over the years... until he comes face-to-face with the former daughter Nala, who was eventually remembered as his girlfriend when he was younger. Rafiki knows Simba's existence, and gives advice from Mufasa - "Remember who you are". That comes to his return to the pride in a eventful confrontation with Scar to see who will be the new majesty - in order to restore the Pride Lands that used to be. The first original imaginary from Walt Disney Feature Animation. Rogers Allers and Rob Minkoff directs from the screenplay by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton. Produced by Don Hahn; Executive Producers: Thomas Schumacher and Sarah McArthur. featuring 5 Original Songs by lyricist Tim Rice and composer Elton John; Original Score Composed and Arranged by Hans Zimmer; featuring Elton himself performing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - winning the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Grammys respectively. from Walt Disney Pictures. "In Remembrance of Frank Wells, president of the Walt Disney Company from 1984-1994".
