10 of my reasons:
1.) It was Disney's first original movie. All others before it were based off of stories written before.
2.) The artwork is simply and wonderfully amazing. Just looking at Pride Rock it's easy to see the tons of detail.
3.) All the music is awesome, and personally it feels like my soul has wings when I listen to it. There's a certain feeling to it that makes me think of running and leaping without tiring...just freedom. And it's arrangement in the film is breathtaking with "Circle of Life", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", and "Under the Stars".
4.) The characters are totally cool, from everything to their design to their personalities.
5.) I already loved felines, so a movie almost exclusively about them is like perfect.
6.) When I saw it in theaters during the first release when I was 2, I was absolutely awed.
7.) There's tons of wicked cool merchandise of it!
8.) A Disneyworld attraction back in the 90s called Legend of The Lion King. I saw it when I was 4 and my eyes were wide open with wonder the whole time.
9.) The story is timeless: finding where you belong in life.
10.) Its Broadway version was really unique and still extremely awesome.
