Movie Review: The Lion King

Movie Title: The Lion King. Animation film with music. Rated G. A classic film. Terrific music. Two paws up. This is a film adults will like as much as kids. Little boys will especially like this film. A lion cub, Simba, is next in line to become king. But his uncle, Scar, wants to rule. Scar gets some hyenas to join him in his plan to get rid of his brother, the king. Scar takes Simba to a place where a stampede will soon happen. Simba's father comes to save him. He succeeds but he dies himself. Scar helped cause his death, but mean Scar lets Simba take the blame. The cub runs away in shame. He meets two friends, Timon and Pumbaa who take care of him. (These are two of my favorite characters.) They provide comical relief in the story. Meanwhile Scar rules in his brother's stead, until Simba comes home to claim his throne.
