The beloved 1994 Disney animated feature THE LION KING follows the adventures of the young lion Simba, the heir of his father, Mufasa. Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, plots to usurp Mufasa’s throne by luring father and son into a stampede of wildebeests. But Simba escapes, and only Mufasa is killed. Simba returns as an adult to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends Timon and Pumbaa. Featuring the iconic Oscar-winning score and songs from Sir Elton John and the voices of Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella.

“Emotionally stirring, richly drawn, and beautifully animated, The Lion King is a pride within Disney’s pantheon of classic family films.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

“The grandeur of the Serengeti Plain comes through the animation, and the young audience may actually feel something like amazement.” (New York Magazine / Vulture)
