The Lion King 3D - 10 stars out of 10

The Lion King 3D - 10 stars out of 10

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any better than "The Lion King"... it has returned in 3D.  The experience of seeing this version of "The Lion King" is two-fold.  First, it is absolute magic to experience this film on the big screen again.  With Hans Zimmer's score playing in surround sound and these incredible Disney characters appearing larger-than-life before your eyes, it becomes a surreal experience.  I'm the most excited for teenagers and children who were not born when this film came out and now have the opportunity to see it in theaters.  Second, the film translates perfectly into 3D and you will think that the film was intended to be viewed this way.  The chills will begin as the camera moves toward Pride Rock, flying behing Zazu for our first view of Simba, and keep coming back until Simba victoriously climbs that same piece of landscape to reclaim his throne.  The depth of every landscape is wonderful as you are transported into this African world.

For my review of the film (and not just the 3D enhancement), see:
