From the magnificent musical opening over breathtaking African vistas to its rip-roaring, emotionally charged climax, The Lion King reigns supreme as animation's greatest crowning achievement. Set amid the majestic beauty of the Sergenti, Disney's epic coming-of-age saga tells of the love between a proud lion ruler, Mufasa, and his son Simba-a naive and curios cub who "just can't wait o be king."    Out from the shadows prowl Simba's envious Uncle Scar and his hyena henchmen. Their scheming for the throne leads to tragedy...and Simba's exile from the kingdom he should rightfully rule. Befriended by the warm headed warthog Pumbaa and his manic meerkat companion, Timon, Simba forgets his regal responsibilities and adopts the carefree lifestyle of  "Hakuna Matata." But can Rafiki, a wise mystic baboon, help Simba reclaim his true destiny in the "circle of life"

With a #1 hit soundtrack featuring songs by Elton John and Academy Award-winning* lyricist, Tim Rice, and score by Hans Zimmer--and the greatest cast of voice-over stars ever assembled-- The Lion King triumphs with animation described by the New York Daily News as "no less than perfection...stunning!"

All The power and majesty of animations greatest achievement--Disney's Academy Award-- Winning film, The Lion King--return for The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. From the hilarious humor of Timon and Pumbaa to the magnificent, adventure-packed world of Sergenti, the circle of life continues with an incredible all-new story.

Kiara, Simba's headstrong daughter and heir to the Pride Lands, is on the prowl for adventure. Escaping her bumbling baby-sitters Timon and Pumbaa, Kiara runs off to the Outlands, which are strictly off limits. There she meets the mischievious Kovu- a young cub chosen to walk in Scar's paw prints. The rift between the Outlanders and Simba's pride deepens as Kiara and Kovu's feelings for each other grow. But will love find a way to bring the two feuding worlds together as one?

An all-star cast returns, including Matthew Broderick (Simba), Nathan Lane (Timon), Ernie Sabella ( Pumbaa), and Robert Guillaume           (Rafiki), along with stunning Disney animation and five spectacular new songs, to offer breathtaking entertainment for everyone.

Running Time: Approximately 75 mins. Not Rated

**1994** Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and Best Song, " Can You Feel The Love Tonight?"           

  In my opinion, both of these movies are excellent! There are cute, fun exciting, and adventurous. The First Lion King is more of Simba having fun and learning new things about himself, the world, and the things around him. It has many fun-filled exciting songs in it like "I Just Can't Wait to be King," "Can You Feel The Love Tonight,"  "Hakuna Matata," and more. 

The Second Lion King: Simba's Pride, is more of a romance story. Simba has a daughter named Kiara, who is very adventurous, mischievous, and hyper. I would say this is a love story. Kovu- Scar's Nephew- and Kiara fall in love... but there is one problem. Kiara is from the Pride Lands and Kovu is from the Outlands. The Outlands are where the "bad, mean, evil, cruel," lions live, And the Pride Lands are where the sophisticated, elegant, nice, harmless lions live. Kiara and Kovu fall deeper and deeper in love. But will love find a way to bring the two feuding worlds together as one?  Watch the movie and find out!
