Vivid characters and two great songs are highlights...
“The Lion King” was another huge hit for the company that produced &#34;The Little Mermaid&#34; and &#34;Beauty and the Beast,&#34; and cemented once and for all Disney’s reputation as the preeminent producer of cartoon features. It also inspired the long-running Broadway musical. Set in Africa, the film opens spectacularly with a gathering at Pride Rock of animals large and small to pay homage to Simba, newly born son and heir to the great king of beasts, Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones).<br /><br />Young Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) is curious and always wants to go exploring in the places his father says are off limits. He’s encouraged to continue his explorations by his uncle Scar (Jeremy Irons), a manipulative creature, passed over for the title of king.<br /><br />This was the first animated film from Disney that was not based on existing material. The studio continued its fascination with comical sidekicks in the persons of the tender-hearted wart hog Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella) and fast-talking meerkat Timon (Nathan Lane). These two provide the film with lots of broad comedy and their duet, “Hakuna Matata,” which is Swahili for “no worries,” is the picture’s liveliest and most memorable song. Their hijinks balance the movie’s themes of ecological awareness, and how all creatures on the planet are connected in a never-ending cycle.<br /><br />Apart from “The Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata,” the songs by Elton John and Tim Rice are serviceable, but not memorable. In terms of the characters, Simba, Pumbaa, Timon and Scar are the best. The others are more symbolic, and they aren’t nearly as well developed. As in many Disney animated features, it’s the young ones, the villains, and the sidekicks that shine.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD “Circle of Life” Signature Edition include the featurette “The Recording Sessions,” containing never-before-seen voice recording sessions; “Inside the Story Room,” with archival footage depicting the origins of five major scenes; “Visualizing a Villain,” an interpretation of the villain Scar by performance artist David Garibaldi; and “The Lion King: Song Selection,” featuring an all new sing-along version of the movie.
