The Lion King

THE KING HAS RETURNED.

Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

  • Madilynn Hobbs
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

  • Emmett Frederick
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
