When Lion King first emerged on the international market, both parents and children responded enthusiastically to the story of a young king-cub who was struggling with his changing environment, his pride’s history and the nature of his inheritance as a would-be king.

The benchmark single, “can you feel the love tonight?” crooned to international audiences and took people for a worthy ride through the azure planes of the Pride Lands. A decade after its release, the movie was still speaking to the children of the new generation, and its lasting message of inner strength was still the staple of Disney movies in the years to come.
