I was really excited to see the Lion King. I've heard such good things about it and I have to say, it was pretty amazing. It is a production like I've never seen. A lot of time and planning went into how the animals look, how they move and how the actors move with them.
Its hard knowing the movie so well, you have to put it out of your mind otherwise you'll end up comparing a live production to it - and the live production won't ever win.
My favorite actor was Rafiki!
