Some of the most influential movies ever made have been made by Disney Studios. Anyone can single out at least one Disney movies he or she remembers fondly. While Disney was a pioneer in the industry, their commercial success with new movies lagged a little bit in the 1980's. In the late 1980's and the 1990's Disney shook up their company and revived its animation success. This period was known as the Disney Renaissance. Disney released several movies during this time period that were critically and commercially successful. All but one of the movies was nominated for an Academy Award and arguably, the most successful all of them was The Lion King.
Upon its release in 1994, The Lion King became the most successful animated movie of all time. Although it was later beat out by the computer animated Finding Nemo, it remains the highest grossing traditionally animated movie ever with sales of over $300 million. It has even spawned several smaller budget sequels including The Lion King II and The Lion King 1 1/2. It features several musical numbers and even features original music by Elton John.
The Lion King is based on a touching story about the life of a lion named Simba. Other characters involved in the movie are his father Mufasa, a monkey named Rafiki and his sidekicks Timon and Pumba. The movie has several moments of comedy and weaves them into a serious drama along the way. The story begins with the birth of the prince of the Pride Land, Simba. His father, Mufasa, is the king of the land. Mufasa's brother, Scar, is jealous of Simba and plots to eliminate him so that he is next in line to the throne. Scar tries to have him killed by his associates, the hyenas.
In the later parts of the film, the devious Scar actually kills his brotherm the king, Mufasa. This actually leaves Simba as the king of the prideland. However, since he is still very young, he fears that Scar will attempt to kill him as well. He flees the country and is met by a meerkat named Timon and a warthog named Pumba. His friends help boost his morale and he eventually returns to the pridelands to reclaim his throne. The movie culminates in a dramatic battle between Simba and Scar. He then rekindles his previous love with Nala and they have a cub of their own.
The Lion King has come to be considered something of a modern classic. A new generation taken its characters to heart -- indeed, it has remained one of the best selling DVDs Disney's Vault.
