With a stellar voice cast, instantly classic songs and some of the most technically advanced and stunning animation put out by Disney, or anyone else, at that time, The Lion King may not have seemed like a sure-fire hit before its release, but that soon changed and the rest was history.
The legacy of The Lion King saw a wave of sequels, a TV series and of course the inevitable live-action remake in 2019.
While time can be unkind to some movies, The Lion King is one that seems set to stand the test of time.
The Lion King boasted voice performances from James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Matthew Broderick, Rowan Atkinson, Nathan Lane, Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings.
