The Lion King (1994)
The young lion came to reclaim his throne
"The Lion King" is an immortal family musical, created in 1994 by Rob Minkoff and Roger Allers, which is actually a film masterpiece-it has a rating of 8.5/10 according to IMDb, while it has a stunning 92% according to Rotten Tomatoes, while its Metascore on Metacritic is 88%, while as many as 89% of the love of Google users. This movie is an epic adventure of Simba, a young lion who had to run out of the Pride Lands out of necessity, exactly at a time when his wicked uncle Scar killed his father, Mufasa. He sought comfort in a life of irresponsibility with Timon and Pumbaa until being summoned back years later as a young lion to take back his place and return the Pride Lands to balance. It has beguiled the world audience with its really fascinating storyline and unforgettable characters, and for that alone it earned a box office success of 968.4 million dollars. Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, "The Lion King" is still his contribution to lasting and constant effects on the generations of audiences worldwide.
This film opens with the birth of a lion cub born to Mufasa, king of the Pride Lands, and Sarabi, and his presentation to the inhabitants of the Pride Lands, who come to celebrate the birth of their future king. At this point, Scar, Mufasa's brother, envies him in his heart and plots to take over the throne for himself. Growing up, Simba makes friends with a lioness Nala, and they go through many activities and fun times in the Pride Lands. Meanwhile, however, Scar plots to have both Simba and Mufasa killed so that he may be the king himself. He causes a stampede of wildebeests in which both Simba and Mufasa are to be killed.
Mufasa and Simba barely escape the stampede because Mufasa managed to save Simba, but Scar betrayed him by tossing him into the stampeding herd of antelopes. As a result, Mufasa died. Scar then convinced Simba that he was the one who was guilty of the death of Mufasa, and that made Simba run away from the Pride Lands in shame. In the jungle, Simba comes into contact with the two jolly characters, Timona meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. Both become Simba's friends and teach him the ways of "Hakuna Matata" (no troubles). Meanwhile, Scar becomes king of the Pride Lands and lets it deteriorate.
An adult Nala now sets out of the Pride Lands in search of aid. She finds Simba and informs him of his rightful place as king and convinces him to return home. After some reluctance from Simba, Rafiki- a wise mandrill- and the spirit of his father Mufasa convince him to be more accepting of his fate. Simba comes back to Pride Lands, and the fight between Simba and Scar breaks out. It is then that the truth about Mufasa's death is revealed; the people of Pride Lands start to turn their faces against Scar. Simba defeats Scar, who is finally betrayed by his own followers, a bunch of hyenas.
With Scar defeated and the Pride Lands back to their normal, full state, Simba finally takes the throne because he is entitled to it. The movie ends with Rafiki presenting Simba and Nala's new cub, signifying the continuation of the Circle of Life.
