The 32nd animated feature to join the Disney family follows
a young lion as he learns to be a leader. Songs are by Elton John
and voices by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick, Whoopie
Goldberg, Cheech Marin, James Earl Jones, Nathan Lane, Rowan
Atkinson and Jeremy Irons. The film received 4 Oscar nominations and
2 awards (for Best Original Score and Best Original Song). Directed
by Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff. [1:27]
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Many scary scenes with bloody battles; several end in
death. Hyenas are involved in many of the fight scenes: one has its cheek slashed, others
are knocked around, one lands in a thorny patch and several fall into a brush fire. One
character is shown being trampled in a wildebeest stampede, and then he is shown falling
from a cliff to his death. Another character rolls down a long rocky incline, and almost
dies of heat exposure. There is a bloody fight ending with one of the participants being
killed by hyenas (off-camera). One character is dunked in a boiling pot.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Dealing with the death of a parent; dealing with guilt;
political intrigue.
MESSAGE - You can run from the past or learn from it.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
