| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottGreat idea. Those of us that caught it on a big screen the first time can experience it again, and our children and grandchildren - who didn't - can have the thrill. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsIs the 3D version superior to the 2D version? No. Is the film still magnificent? Yes. |
| Suburban Journals of St. LouisMathew DeKinderWhile the 3D is surprisingly effective on the 2D, hand-drawn animation, the real treat is getting to see this movie once again projected up in all its larger-than-life glory. |
| StaciWilson.comStaci Layne WilsonHakuna Matata aside, this is a worthwhile film. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaMakes up for its shortcomings in the musical department with a strong dose of mature drama. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversA hugely entertaining blend of music, fun and eye-popping thrills, though it doesn't lack for heart. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe animation is simple and bold, with fluency and muscular confidence, and Elton John and Tim Rice's songs drive the story onward with terrific fervour. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealSpectacular, but overrated in the scheme of great animated films. |
| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferA classic story told through immersive visuals, great voice work and some of the most memorable songs in movie history. The Lion King defines animated classic. |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydThe Lion King was made a mere 17 years ago, but seems from a different era now. Here was a "kiddie" flick that was big, grandiose and ambitious, a sprawling Shakespearean epic playing out on the African savannah. |
