Young lion prince Simba, eager to one day become king of the Pride Lands, grows up under the watchful eye of his father Mufasa; all the while his villainous uncle Scar conspires to take the throne for himself. Amid betrayal and tragedy, Simba must confront his past and find his rightful place in the Circle of Life.
Editor's Verdict
"The Lion King is a classic family drama centered on themes of destiny, responsibility, and succession in an African savanna setting. There is absolutely no indication of Christmas setting, plot relevance, thematic connection, iconography, or resolution tie-in."
