Music adds to a film more than simply filming.
If your children, or grandchildren didn't love the Lion King, then there's something wrong with their upbringing!
As for the music, written by Elton John; if you can't like this, then your own upbringing is in question!!

I don't know what my other children think about it, as I lost interest in them years ago.

Originally posted by FMFWe bought this out of a bargain DVD bucket for my son on a rainy day when we were all tired and just wanted to crash. One of the most underrated Disney films. It's wonderful.

And a case study that you cannot plan to guarantee artistic success. The production was a shambles. Sting's music has to be dropped from the main film, and he was not happy. I bet they were pleased just to get it out the door. And yet it really works, and eventually spawned a sequel and TV series.
By comparison, Sleeping Beauty was painstakingly crafted with no expense spared. And is possibly the dullest Disney film of all time. It is excruciating at times.

no, but then i have a weird dislike of most piano playing singers, tori amos is the only one of the top of my head that i have time for, still not a huge fan though. its okay to have a piano/keyboard in the band, but push em'back and to the side of the stage, almost off it.
I'd be interested in your feedback.
