I never loved this movie and slowly I have come to not like it. While I like the plot and message, I don't get why Mufasa thinks hyenas are bad and I don't understand how Scar's rule made the land so desolate; I believe hyena resurgenceI never loved this movie and slowly I have come to not like it. While I like the plot and message, I don't get why Mufasa thinks hyenas are bad and I don't understand how Scar's rule made the land so desolate; I believe hyena resurgence should not result in such change, because they are part of the ecosystem and are as equal as the other animals. In my opinion, Scar was doing the hyenas and the land a good deed by killing Mufasa, who I deem a fascist.… Expand

The music was very so-so, the voice-acting generally good. There are many other movies I would want to see before trying this one again.… Expand

Fuck Disney. They RIPPED-OFF Kimba the white lion, without even giving any credit to Ozamu Tesuka, the creator.

I had high hopes for this movie, but on all my viewings, I felt very disappointed. The film does not have much to offer, unlike other Disney masterpieces. I hope to have better viewings of this film in the future.
