The Lion King (1994)

The Lion King is a story taking place in the heart of Africa where little Simba is born, next in the line of the throne. Scar, his uncle, who was first in line till Simba was born plots with the hyenas to kill the king Mufasa and his little son Simba, so he can take place as the new king. Scar managed to kill Mufasa and made Simba believe it was his fault and Simba flees from the kingdom in shame. After years of living in exile and tying to forget his past, he meets his childhood friend Nala who tells him what Scar has done to the kingdom and begs him to come home and take his rightful place as the king. Now Simba has to choose either to go and face his past and fears and take his place in the "Circle of Life" or keep living in exile.

This was my favorite Disney movie when I was smal and I still love it! I love the story, the beautiful songs - which are as beautiful in english as in swedish and I like that they have put in some of our history in the movie as well. Though I have to say I laughted quite alot the first time I saw it in english and found out James Earl Jones was the voice of Mufasa. I just saw Darth Vader insted of Mufasa and it was hilarious.
Anyway I give this movie a 5/5!!
