6. The Lion King (1994)
Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff
Starring the Voice Talents of Matthew Broderick and Jeremy Irons
Winner of 2 Academy Awards. Nominated for 4, Including 3 Nominations in the Best Original Song category
This will make it hard to do my best family films list next week, because Mary Poppins and The Lion King are two of the best movies in that category. This really should have been nominated for Best Picture, joining Beatuy and the Beast as the only animated film to be given such a title. The animation in this film is breathtaking, the songs are classic, the story is outstanding and everything about this makes you want to stand up and cheer. The same can be said about the Broadway show.

I liked the Broadway show a bit more than the movie, simply because the opening seqeunce when the animals were called down the aisle and everything was happening, and in the backround the moving "Circle of Life" it was breathtaking and I still get chills thinking about it.
