Entertainment Weekly
Has the resonance to stand not just as a terrific cartoon but as an emotionally pungent movie.

A timeless classic, full of excitement, humor, witty asides and memorable characters.

This is the Mickey Mouse factory at its finest, with inventive animation, stirring music and a pride of inspired, almost-human animals.

There are moments of fun and humor, to be sure, but the undercurrent is of a far more serious, "adult" nature. The Lion King is primarily about guilt and redemption.
