Synopsis

Disney's cherished animation roars back onto the big screen in stunning 3D in time for its 17th anniversary.

The story of young lion Simba's (Broderick) courageous journey from pride outcast to proud king is an instant tearjerker. After being tricked into thinking he was responsible for the death of his father Mufasa (Jones) by his dastardly uncle, Scar (Irons), our pre-mane hero flees the arid Savannah, only to discover his true destiny thanks to a show-stealing meerkat/warthog double act. A rare chance to revisit a modern animation benchmark.
