DD has suddenly got into this and its been years since I've seen it. Great characters, great music, beautiful animation and fantastic storyline (I know its based on Hamlet). There's lots of good Disney films but Lion King has everything - what Disney films are better than this?

And Nathan Lane as Timon is hilarious. Smile

I love Beauty and the Beast myself, it's a beautiful film.

Lion King is pretty good though, I have seen the stage show and it's great.

LauraChant · 18/05/2015 09:39

I haven't seen the Lion King properly as DS got too upset watching it, but we have "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" on repeat in the car.

I do like Beauty and the Beast though. "Tale as old as tiiiime, song as old as rhyyyme."

AlanBstardMPagain · 18/05/2015 09:42

Ooh dont get me wrong I love Aladdin and Beauty and the beast too Smile. Although Aladdin always has a hint of sadness for me now after Robin Williams died.

Think I might have to take DD to the stage show, she'd love it.

YANBU, although Beauty and the Beast comes a very, very close second!

run2 · 18/05/2015 09:51

No. I found it very boring. I also become intensely irritated when people quote or sing songs from it. I smile politely but inside I seethe.

I am obviously just not cut out for tragedy portrayed through the medium of lion....

WhatWouldBlairWaldorfDo · 18/05/2015 09:52

Yanbu, it came out when i was 8, i remember seeing it in the cinema and thinking it was amaaaazing!!

Still love it now, though the little mermaid and aladdin are up there too!

PlummyBrummy · 18/05/2015 09:53

Jungle Book!!!

WhatWouldBlairWaldorfDo · 18/05/2015 09:54

Just realised that makes lion king 21years old!!!!!!!!

WalterMittyish · 18/05/2015 09:55

YABU.

It's Hercules (for the rocking Muses)

BeccaMumsnet · 18/05/2015 09:57

YANBU - absolutely my favourite Disney film and still makes me cry

SaucyJack · 18/05/2015 09:59

YABU. Tangled all the way. Genuinely funny.

Flingmoo · 18/05/2015 09:59

YANBU. Lion King is amazing. Can't wait till our DS is old enough to watch and appreciate it :)

I also love Hercules, and Pocahontas for the music Smile

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

I have seen the stage show, and this part actually moved me to tears. It is a fantastic film but an even better show.

Beauty and the Beast is a very close second though!

shakemysilliesout · 18/05/2015 10:05

I like hans zimmers score but not johns songs.

I feel lie everyone on this thread is. 80s/ 90s child! I love beauty and the beast, Aladdin, little mermaid.

Noone has said frozen yet!

AdeleDazeem · 18/05/2015 10:15

Aladdin for me. Even though Disney changed the hell out of it, making Al an orphan and moving the story from China.

I love Aladdin and the luxurious Arabian theme despite the original Aladdin not actually being Arabian.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 18/05/2015 10:19

I loathe Lion King, mostly

but Circle of Life opening sequence makes water come out of my eyes

soon as my first kid has a baby I am going to hold it over my head in the hosp and sing it, for lolz

oh and Jungle Book is best imo

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/05/2015 10:20

Yabu

It makes the top 10, but towards the bottom.

OnlyLovers · 18/05/2015 10:22

It's quite good but The Jungle Book is hands-down the best Disney.

In fact The Jungle Book is one of the best films out there, IMO.

WhatWouldBlairWaldorfDo · 18/05/2015 10:23

Ha muddha my friends husband did that when their son was born :)

He put a video on fb of him holding up baby while doing the 'naaaaaarsavenyaaaaa' :)
He also made the dog lay down like the animal audience.... Immature yet amusing

Mrsjayy · 18/05/2015 10:24

Yanbu I love lion king adult dd is obsessed with it we saw the musical a few years ago and i sobbedit was really good.Toy story is a close second though

Mrsjayy · 18/05/2015 10:27

Ach strike out fail. They did the holding up like lion king in Modern Family it was funny

mrsschatzepage · 18/05/2015 10:28

I found the lion king a bit meh. Beauty and the beast is the best imho.

Mrsjayy · 18/05/2015 10:30

Ive a soft spot for Beauty and The beast mrs potts singing the song is beautiful

hellsbellsmelons · 18/05/2015 10:32

Aladdin for me as well! And of course Finding Nemo.
Although I love Lion King and I always cry.
