(Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, Royal Hollywood Reporter) AMAZING, it has been TWENTY FIVE years since we all cried our eyes out at the death of a lionking, fell in the love with a colorfull animated Africa and wished our best friends were a meerkat and warthog singing Hakuna Matata with us. The love, the rise, the fall, the scare and the action. The Lion King 2019 and the Lion King 1995 have it all. The Lion King old and new are the greatest Disney films of all time for many.
We found out what Hakuna Matata meant – In case you still don’t know – it’s a wonderful phrase: It means no worries for the rest of your days, a problem free philosophy, Hakuna Matata. And of course Timon and Pumbaa are the greatest duo ever. Plus Simba And Nala… definitely the greatest love story the animated animal kingdom has ever witnessed. Disney’s top animators were making of Pocahontas at the same time as The Lion King and predicted that it would do much better… But you know how the underdo often wins. For me Scar is the greatest of all the Disney villains.
So Can you feel the love tonight? We CAN!
