Rating: - No Secret Agendas, Just a geat movie.
Someone in another review wrote that this movie has an agenda similar to Adolf Hitler's during the rise of the Nazi party. Are you kidding me? This was a fantastic children's movie, not a secret agenda. How on earth could you possibly compare this movie to Hitler. That is completely ridiculous, you should be ashamed. You sound like a conspiracy theorist who is just full of hot air. Lion King like Hitler, ya and i suppose we never landed on the moon either. Simply a great movie. One of the best disney movies ever made.
Rating: - THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This happens to be an awesome movie! I don't have the 2 disc dvd but I just have the old vhs but I love the anime on the lions and the other animals. It starts at a kingdom of the Pridelands where all kinds of jungle animals live. The king is a proud and kind hearted lion named Mufasa. And his son Simba is looking to be just like Mufasa. Brave and strong. Although the law says once a king dies his son takes his place. Simba also has a friend named Nyla. Just as everything goes great Mufasa's brother Scar kills Mufasa (No blood or stuff like that, this movie is safe for little kids) Simba runs away when Scar made it look like Simba killed Mufasa. Scar becomes a wrong hearted king at the pridelands and Simba find these two crazy animals who raise him fairly and when Simba grown up runs into Nyla she tells him theres no food or water from what Scar's done to the pridelands. Simba is too worried to tell her about Mufasa's death. But Simba soon knows he must go back and take place as king. When he does he defeats Scar and he follows in his father's paw prints and saves the pridelands.
You must buy it!
It's awesome!

- What Is This Teaching Kids?
Maybe I'll get flack about this, but here's an opinion from an angle I don't see anyone else presenting.
Does anyone care what kids are unconsciously learning from movies like this? Yes, Disney did a fine job of blending great animation, music, humour, and plot. But what messages are children learning in this movie?
Children love the music in this movie. Just show it to your kid enough times and they'll be going around the house singing the songs and acting out the characters. Three of the most notable songs are windows into the personalities and agendas of the main characters. There's Scar's song when he's singing to the hyenas about how everything will be great when he becomes the new king, and how he's going to achieve this by killing King Mufassa. The whole scene is lifted right out of those old news reels of Hitler addressing the Nazi army, right down to a goose-stepping hyena army. What's a child learning from this behavior? Getting what you want/power through violence.
Another main song is "Just Can't Wait to be King", where young Simba sings about how great it will be to finally be king- no one will tell him what to do anymore, he'll do whatever he wants, and order everybody around. This is a great attitude to teach a child who doesn't listen to his/her parents, or who has behavior problems.
Another biggie is "Hakuna Matata", (Swahili for "no worries"). Simba's new friends Pumba and Timone counsel the grief-and-guilt-laden Simba not to care about the past, or really anything, or anyone else, just live for yourself, "eat, drink, and be merry..." This is a great one for teaching kids about responsibility, and NOT dealing with real-life issues.
Sure, these songs are all done in fun, and yes, in the end, Simba learns what it really means to be a leader (responsibility), and defeats his murderous Uncle Scar, but interestingly, there's no song to reinforce that. Young kids pick up on the attitudes in the individual scenes and songs- defiance, rebelliousness against authority, power through violence, self-centerdness, indifference... Young kids don't have the attention span to connect these attitudes with their consequences.
There are several overt tribal spiritual messages in the movie as well, not to mention a couple of violent scenes, which might be too much for some kids.
A lot of people will probably think I'm reading too much into this. But young kids are very impressionable, especially when they're engrossed in something like a powerful movie that holds them spellbound.
Long story short, it's important to watch TV and videos with your kids, and screen what they watch first. It allows you to see what they are (unconsciously) learning, and correct any ideas you don't want them to imitate. And yes, the endless commercials at the beginning of the DVD are rediculous. I don't think anybody can beat Disney on trying to capitalize on a captive audience.
