to think The Lion King is the best Disney film ever made?

[AlanBstardMPagain]

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.

Oh i bought a Dvd collection for dds 1 christmas dd burst into tears and said she would never watch Dumbo again

101 Dalmations for me! Cute dogs and a real bad baddie- who desn't love to hate Cruella D'Evil!

Beauty and the Beast every time for me

The Lion King every time. DS watched it far too often, could quote every line and happily once sat through it in French at a campsite. We also have Lion king 2 and 3 somewhere; taught DS all he needed to know about sequels.

Well sorry it's probably my least favourite.

Beauty and the beast, Cinderella, littlie mermaid far better in my opinion

Robin Hood is my fave!

No, I'm not sure YABU, it is pure brilliance and the opening sequence makes me cry every time.

However, we watched it again recently and a disturbing thought came to me.....who is Nala's dad?!

Ha. I thought the same!! Hmm

Fantasia is the greatest, sorry, no question. It's the music, you see. It was also the favourite of my mum (who died in 1979) and her mum (who died in 1958). But I don't have any complaints with Lion King.

DSis is reading this over my shoulder and is pleased to see that there has been another vote for Robin Hood. She makes particular mention of the scene where Little John, dressed as a fortune teller, kisses King John's hand The hen nurse's American football scene also gets a mention (DSis is a fan of American football too).

We both had to go and Youtube the Lion King opening scene of course, and now we're both sitting here, two stout cynical ladies in their 50s, with tears streaming down our faces!

Aladdin might be my fave. Lion King is great, don't get me wrong, but Aladdin is a lot less traumatic, and man don't we all miss Robin Williams :(

Although I'm a lifelong fan of Jeremy Irons (he can sing too!) and I enjoy the hula decoy song "Are you achin' (yepyepyep) for some bacon?", The Lion King comes much further down our family's list of favourite cartoons than The Jungle Book. It's a work of art!

Yes the rescuers is brilliant - but those were some dark days for Disney films, Oliver and company anyone??

Spirit isn't disney but I love it.

@ mrsschatzepage and thetravellinglemon it's the Mrs Jumbo locked up scene that makes the film, it's so emotionally heart wrenching and that makes it beautiful. I'm in complete floods every time I watch it

YABU. It's so boring . It's possibly my least favourite Disney movie.

Beauty and the beast wins hands down.

wonder who'd win in fight between Sher (?sp) Khan out of JB and Scar out of LK

Shere Khan would wear scar like a belt to be fair

can't believe holding-up-a-baby-like-in-Lion-King has been done already

mind you I've got at least ten years to go till mine start breeding so can pass it off as my own by then

LK is a fantastic animation but the songs are ropey

as for the teen lions falling in love bit- we all watched it a couple of weekends ago for no apparent reason and were CRYING laughing

LOOOOL

YABU. Basil the Great Mouse Detective is clearly the best Disney film ever.

Yes nala and simba were brother and sister its a wonder banjo music didnt play tbh

YANBU The Lion King is the best. It's been my favourite movie since it was released!

Close seconds are Lilo and Stitch, Enchanted, Princess and the Frog, The Little Mermaid and Hunchback of Notre Dame.

love it but not best. I adore disney they are amazing.

It's one of my favourites, so in that sense YANBU.

However I always struggle to choose between The Lion King and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Pete's Dragon. Wal-E. Enchanted. But for Disney at its best (i.e. great songs, characters and nasty baddies) it has to be Jungle Book.

I haven't seen all Disney films, but The Jungle Book is definitely better The Lion King.
