“The Lion King 3″ Plot Summary

Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog retell the story of The Lion King, from their own unique perspective. add synopsis

Surprisingly Good

I have to be honest, i was expecting a failure so bad, because it really did sound like they were trying to milk the original movie to get money. But that wasn’t the case with this pretty funny (sometimes odd) movie. I loved how they told the story of Timon and Pumba, the story with Simba and him having trouble sleeping was funny. The jacuzzi bubble, and when Pumba leaves, the bubbles stop. It’s all harmless fun, good for kids and some adults. I think this movie will last for a while because it is rather good for a straight to Video and DVD movie. While the movie does seem a little odd and kind of trails off toward the end, it works. 8 out of 10

“The Lion King” Movie Review

“The Lion King” Plot Summary

Tricked into thinking he killed his father, a guilt ridden lion cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King. add synopsis

A Timeless Film

Ah…’The Lion King.’ There’s so much I can say about this movie but all my comments always come down to one thing: this movie is beautiful. Pure genius. A timeless story. I might be a little biased in my beliefs, seeing as the first movie I remember seeing in theatres is ‘The Lion King’ and I still watch it on a regular basis and know all the words but I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who agree with what I have to say. ‘The Lion King’ is beautiful; hands down, it is the best Disney film ever created

The story is something that everyone can relate to, whether they are a lion ;) or not. Simba is destined to become king one day and just can’t wait to rule the throne; everyone can relate to wanting to grow up and become an adult, to do whatever they want and not have to worry about anything. His father tries to teach him that, despite the fact that he will one day be grown and king, his life will not be easy. Simba has to learn his lesson the hard way when his Uncle Scar, who, too, wants the throne, kills his father and convinces Simba that it was his fault. Suddenly, growing up doesn’t seem so great anymore (I can *really* relate to that).

And so, Simba flees his home and comes across Timon and Pumbaa, two other outcasts. They teach Simba the ‘Hakuna Matata’ lifestyle, something that idealizes a life free of stress, worry and responsibility. Now, don’t we all wish we could live this way? No worries for the rest of our days… But when Simba’s childhood friend Nala returns, he realizes that he can’t live Hakuna Matata forever, for he does have a responsibility to his pride and his homeland. Simba understands that he must grow up, as we all do, and does what’s right

The songs are catchy and fit the movie well (the original songs, of course, though ‘The Morning Report’ isn’t too bad) and the score is haunting and beautiful. Along with the art work, the music captures the heart of Africa

With the types of shows that children watch these days (boy, doesn’t that make me sound old?), it’s a wonder they’ll learn in virtues and values at all. ‘The Lion King’ is a great teacher when it comes to learning lessons that will carry throughout their lifetime. ‘The Lion King’ teaches children that it’s all right to be a kid but you must understand and accept responsibility for things you can and cannot control. Everyone has a place in The Circle of Life and we must find it; the film also teaches that we will encounter bad and even terrible things during our lifetime but we must accept them and move on. These are important, meaningful lessons; heck, I even used them in my SAT essay! ‘The Lion King’ is a film for every generation and is a powerful film that all children should see. I’m past my childhood now and I still watch it whenever I get the chance; I look forward to sharing it with my children

A timeless film!
