This animated classic took four years to make and consisted of various artists studying the lions and the African wildlife that was featured in film. 'The Lion King' is about a young cub named Simba, who struggles to realise who he is and who he must become. Guided by his father, Mustafa, as well as encountering friends in his journey - notably Timon and Pumba- and his growth into adulthood, Simba must fight his evil Uncle in Scar in bringing harmony to the land of Pride rock. Some great voice-work by Matthew Boderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg, Rowan Atkinson, Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, as well as some excellent songs make this a Disney classic.

When I saw this movie originally at cinemas, I thought it was a superhero interpretation of high school capitalising on the Harry Potter franchise. I was expecting more lore and sequels. 'Sky High' is a fun movie though. Decent family entertainment and I liked the hero/sidekick dichotomy establishing the segregation of super-powered individuals. Kurt Russell is quite good in this as well as Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Some early performances from Steven Strait (The Expanse) and Danielle Panabaker (Justified, Arrow) and Jim Rash (Community) worth checking out. Overall, a better than average family film!
