				Why watch this? ... 
				It is one of the best of the 90's Disney classics. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A young lion cub, Simba, is destined to rule the Pride Lands, 
				but his bitter uncle, Scar, plots against him and his father, 
				King Mufasa. Simba is led to believe he is responsible for his 
				father's death and flees into exile, where he befriends Timon 
				and Pumbaa. Years later, his past returns to haunt him, and he 
				must decide whether to reclaim his rightful place and face his 
				demons. Dad's Preview: 
				We wore out this Disney VHS tape. Our kids were mesmerized by 
				the cute animals and catchy tunes. It really is a magical 
				story of families and growing up to face responsibility. To that, you only have 
				to add a wise mandrill, a witty lemur and a smelly warthog. And 
				viola! - A great animated flick! Today, I still cry numerous times 
				during this musical romp through Africa.
