list of the lion king characters
hal hinson of "the washington post" gave the character a negative review. labeling timon and pumbaa the only interesting characters in "the lion king", hinson questioned simba's role as the film's hero. kenneth turan of the "los angeles times "agreed, "a movie's heroes may have their names above the title, but often as not it's the sidekicks who get the real work done." turan went on to pan simba, describing him as "irritatingly callow." chris hick of the "deseret news" complained about the fact that simba and the other "characters in "the lion king" are not as warm and fuzzy as other disney animated features," crediting this with making "the film a bit tougher to warm [up] to." comingsoon.net strongly panned simba as a lead character, writing, "typically for disney animated fare, it's the hero who is the weak link being both blandly designed and blandly performed." acknowledging the character's shakespearean origins, "the baltimore sun"s stephen hunter gave simba a negative review, writing, "alas ...simba stands in for hamlet, but he's a lot less complicated; in fact, he's less complicated than morris the cat or sylvester." hunter continued, "simba the exile is even less interesting than simba the prince." christopher null of contactmusic.com was critical of weaver's performance as the singing voice of young simba, writing, "if there's anything annoying about the film, it's the singing. young simba sounds like a young michael jackson ... you almost don't want him to succeed." however, null reacted more positively towards broderick's performance.
