Review – The Lion King

This movie bugs me, and I can’t put my finger on the cause. Certainly it’s no more sexist or racist or classist than any other Disney animation. And heaven knows parent death isn’t a new innovation in the studio’s metier. I’d assume I was just in a bad mood when I watched it, but I’ve seen it three times now in the hope that either I could get over my unease or at least trace it to its source. Objectively, I recognize that it’s as good as most other children’s movies and better than many. Mildly amusing
