Hamlet as a lion cub, you gotta love that.

An overall excellent movie, and a great example of what Disney can do when they really make an effort. A note to those complaining about the similarities to Kimba the White Lion: Do you also complain that Sergio Leone's breakout film A Fistful of Dollars is basically a carbon copy of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo? And for that matter, Yojimbo is heavily influenced by Noir classic The Glass Key. Cinema is adaptation, everything old is new again, so on and so forth.

It deserves that rating when I pretend it was a CREDITED remake of Kimba the White Lion.

muito boa a animação, muito triste a morte do Musafa. em alguns pontos do filme, realmente existe aquela aura infantil, mas na maior parte do tempo, é um trabalho artístico pra qualquer um com bom gosto.

Childhood classic.

Maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, but Disney seems to have peaked with this one. The songs remain fun and the plot is executed with just the right combination and timing of drama and humour.
