Happy 22nd Birthday, TLK!

The Lion King had its very first and limited release in North America on June 15, 1994; the wide release was later, on June 24. But we still can celebrate, right?

Of course!

Happy 22nd birthday TLK

22 years have passed? Already? Oh, wow.
Happy birthday, TLK!

Wow, I can't believe that it has been 22 years already. It seems just like yesterday I was watching the movie for the very first time. Sitting there amazed, and in awe of this masterpiece. There will truly be no other Disney movie like it, ever. You just cannot beat that feels filled story line, the characters, music and of course the 2D animation. This movie will forever be in my heart and will always be brand new to me- no matter how many years have passed. Happy birthday, TLK. Hakuna Matata.

Happy Birthday TLK!

Good grief, now I feel old!
Happy birthday Lion King!

Happy 22 years of The Lion King! I echo Shadowfax`s comment about feeling old, lol!

Happy 22th birthday to The Lion King and to the characters and songs that became the roar heard around the world. In honor of its anniversary, I decided to share a CBS news report of the making of the film:

And here's the CTN animation expo event held around the time of the 3D theatrical re-release, featuring an in-depth discussion about the film's creative process, production, and post-production.
