Trivia:
During a fight with hyenas, Pumbaa shouts, "They call me Mr Pig!" This line, and its distinctive delivery, are a reference to In the Heat of the Night (1967), where Sidney Poitier's character says, "They call me 'Mr Tibbs'!" This was used as the title of the 1970 sequel (They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970)). Additionally, his line "You talkin' to me?" is a direct reference to Taxi Driver (1976). moreGoofs:
Continuity: Thorns that are all over Banzai's body disappear completely between shots with no time for him to remove them all. moreQuotes:
[first lines][Scar catches a mouse]
Scar: Life's not fair, is it? You see, I... well, I shall never be king. And you... shall never see the light of another day. Adieu.
Zazu: Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?

Outstanding animated feature from Disney that sports outstanding songs by Elton John, a compelling story and first-class animation. Young lion cub Simba is to be king, but he leaves after he believes he was the reason for his father's death (of course this is not so). As he grows up, he goes on a journey of love, friendship and discovery which will lead him back to his rightful place in the world. Excellent. 5 stars out of 5.
