Trailer
Lion King, The
1994
The highest-grossing animated film of the 20th century follows a young lion cub named Simba who can't wait to be king. But his uncle craves the title for himself and will stop at nothing to get it, even killing his own brother. Blaming himself for the death, Simba runs away, only to find solace in the most unlikely of spots. Includes the original feature film plus an extended version (with a new song, "Morning Report").
See it for the first time ever in 3D (2011 3D re-release)
