The movie that I’m going to my blog on is The Lion King, which is a movie about a lion cub (Simba) who finds out his father (Mufasa) has died so it is up to simba to find his uncle (Scar) and overthrow him from his place as king so that he can take his place as rightful king. The actors in the movie are Jonathan Taylor Thomas as young Simba, Matthew Broderick as adult Simba , Jeremy Irons as Scar, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Nathan Lane as Timon, Moira Kelly as adult Nala, Niketa Calame as young Nala, Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa, Robert Guillaume as Rafiki, Rowan Atkinson as Zazu, Madge Sinclair as Sarabi, Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi, and Cheech Marin as Banzai. All these actors are very good but one in particular is Ernie Sabella as pumbaa because he was so funny and you would laugh at all the crazy things he did like one part where they were traped in a cave with the hyenas and him and timon did the hula and sang a very funny song to distract them while simba and nala escape. Simba is a lion who fights his way to become king. Nala is Simbas childhood friend and joins him on his adventure, they later have a lion cub toghether. Tomoine and pumbaa are probably the funniest characters in the movie because of silly things they do and the famous line from the movie that tomoine says to Simba is hukuna Mata which means no worries. Rafiki is the wise character in story because he helps Simba on his journey to both show him his dad and help find scar. Scar is the antagonist in the film because he is the one who had killed Simbas dad to rule as king. And the Hyenas were henchmen for scar. I agree with other critics because they say that the lion king is the all-time best Disney films of all time and its true because I thought It was very good and had lots of humor and we will remember it as a classic. Overall my opinion is that if you have never seen the lion king you are missing out on one of the best movies ever made it is an excellent movie for all ages so I would highly recommend it.
