 The 1994 animated film The Lion King is the most successful animated movie of all time, not to mention one of my favourites. I cried when Mufasa died. 🙂 Read more of my thoughts about the animated movie, or about the history of the musical. |
  I’ve got two different recordings of this show, though I have to admit, it’s not something I listen to a lot. Read my reviews of the CDs or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. |
  I’ve seen this show twice, mostly because other people wanted to see it, and so I accompanied them. I wasn’t that thrilled with it, but there are definitely some bright points – read more about my experiences with the show to find out more. |
 Probably my major problem with this show is that the actors seem to be secondary to the costumes. However, there have still been some really talented performers in this show – find out about a few of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other fantastic Lion King sites that are out there. |
