The Lion King

IMDb Rating: 8.5

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93%

Disney had explored the talking animal film genre extensively by the early 1990s. However, The Lion King, released in 1994, gave this cliché a fresh and epic twist.

It explores the idea of coming to terms with the fact that life is not always easy, but the effort put in will hopefully be worthwhile in the end. The original song and score by Elton John lifts the film to a different level.
