If You Haven’t Seen This Movie, You’re Living Under a Rock

I love the Lion King. Disney’s take on Hamlet is remarkable with stunning visuals and amazing scores, as well as morals like forgiveness. It is a little violent and there is some death, but nothing super graphic. Highly recommend.

Outdated Disney animation may entertain hard nostalgia fans.

IM BACK

Some of you may know me. I am a known troll on parents guide. I have made many reviews and paved the way for a revolt against the many Karens on this site. Parents guide attempted to silence me but couldn't. I'm now back with wrath. Look at my reviews to see my past work and the next time you post a funny review please put #thewholebeingemothing to show parents guide the power we all have

Violent

This movie is quite good but REALLY violent. First, a lion tries to eat a mouse AND a bird. Then later, the same lion thinks up a plan to murder his, like, six year old nephew and big brother. He tries to get hyenas to eat him and rip Mufasa apart. When that's failed, he tries to kill them both by getting them trampled and crushed. When killing his nephew fails, he throws his brother off the cliff and later Simba finds his dads mangled body. Then later, he confronts his uncle as an adult. Scar gets him hanging off a cliff and prepares to kill him, and gets shoved to the ground afterward. When he doesn't confess, Simba almost chokes him to death Then later Scar gets ripped apart in a horrible way.

Epic, Funny, A Classic!

Since this movie is pretty old, I've watched it dozens of times. And I love it! It's a great balance of visual appeal, epicness, humor, a hint of romance, and a great storyline with awesome characters to drive it. It was a bit violent, but there isn't actually blood (and any wounds seemed to disappear almost as soon as they were obtained). And any deaths occur off screen and aren't in detail. A bit of romance is expressed, but nothing beyond nuzzling and licking (lion version of a kiss). It stays true to the G rating. In general, this movie is a classic for that will be enjoyed now and for many years to come.

LOVE THIS MOVIE -PLEASE READ-

It’s an amazing movie, I’ve seen some bad reviews of it and I just. No. It’s great! Scar is my favorite villain and it has a good plot, and good songs
