Hi there! Welcome to MLK, in case I missed your introduction post. Don't worry about the English, because frankly, this is the best place to learn & improve. Spend some time with the MLK crew and you'll be fluent in no time. I seem to recall there being a topic similar to this but if there is, it's probably dead...so why not.
As for your question...I think you'll find that people have very different opinions on this. It's a matter of taste & preference. I myself have seen not all, but most other Disney films, and comparing them I can definitely say that personally, I think The Lion King is the best, along with another favourite of mine which is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. These are the two Disney classics I loved most as a child, and to this day I think they have a certain something that most others lack (putting aside my nostalgic feelings towards them, of course). I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly...probably a combination of things. It's just the way they are made. They also have incredible depth to them, which I, being a sucker for all things dramatic and romantic, really appreciate. What I mainly want from watching a film is to be moved, and the majority of films (animated or not) fail to do exactly that, however entertaining they may be. TLK and HoND both have this emotional depth that I look for in a film. Not to mention that they are visually stunning with amazing soundtracks and brilliant voice actors.
I'm never going back
