From the magnificent music opening over breathtaking African plains to its electrifying finale, The Lion King is a triumph. Disney's masterpiece tells the incredible story of the love between a proud lion ruler, Mufasa and his son Simba - a naïve and curious cub who must struggle to find his place in nature's great "circle of life". Befriended by a host of warmhearted characters, Simba experiences some of life's most glorious moments and toughest challenges. But before he can take his rightful place as ruler of the Pride Lands, Simba must overcome great fear and adversity - climaxed by a blazing battle with his evil and greedy uncle, Scar. This 1995 Oscar winner features music (including Best Original Song) by Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice and score by Hans Zimmer. This Disney epic reigns supreme with warmth and emotion, rip-roaring humour and stunning animation.
