(Naturally, Lion King has been surpassed by Frozen and a handful of recent Walt Disney animated movies since then, but it’s still a smash.)
The Lion King, released back in 1994, banked a staggering $968 million dollars during its box office rune, making it on of the highest-grossing animated movies of all time… at that time.
Yet, The Lion King also has branched out into numerous other avenues of pop culture, including a very successful Broadway show that had award-winning music.
It even won an Oscar, for Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Can you Feel the Love Tonight.”
