Why do you love The Lion King?

[DGFone]

I just watched the entire movie again a few days ago, and right away, this question popped into my mind afterwards. And to be honest, there is no one reason why I love it. Or even a few reasons. There are many, and most likely more than I can list or even recall, but there are several the really stand out.

1. The music. This is what has kept me liking the Lion King even when I wasn't very into it. I remember nearly crying after listening to CYFTLT after not hearing it for years.

2. The scale. Despite its short 90 minute length, TLK feels huge. Take the beginning: we have a cub who wants to be king. Many movies will have that be the movie and that's it. The second half: A broken young adult trying to find his place in life. Again, many movies will concentrate on just this, but The Lion King managed to include these two stories into one package, creating a very big movie.

3. The characters. Even simple characters such as Timon and Pumbaa have depth that makes you think twice abut them. Even Ed: is he really insane or not?

4. The fan-base. MLK right here is the surest of proofs. There are other great TLK sites, which is even better, but I have yet to find another such great community of fans.

Because watching The Lion King, and anything related, brings a big smile to my face, no matter how badly I feel.

I like it because it give valuable lessons, but they don't give it like... strait out. They give it in a secretive way and really make you think about it to understand the meaning of it. And I love how they make it really in depth and it makes you really feel for the characters and pray for their well-being. ^^

1 the music...i still get chills when i hear circle of life
2: the artwork..its what made me major in art
3: character backrounds
4: the fact simba reminds me so much of myself..and even back in 1994 during my parents devorce it gave me something to relate to as they showed their hate for one another, it gave me something to focus on besides their negativity.

It was like the 1st animated movie I've ever seen. It all started when I was a child, this movie inspired me and my art a LOT.
