Love the Lion King. I have the VHS somewhere in storage, the DVD, saw the 3-D movie, purchased the Blu-ray, and I had a baby Simba keychain.

The scenery, the soundtrack and musical arrangements (can't go wrong with Elton John), the perfect combination of voices for the roles, the African chants and vocals throughout the movie...everything about that movie was so on point.

This is a great list, and a big thumbs up for the Lion King selection.

This is a great list of movies. I would add Meet the Robinsons because there are so many life lessons in the movie and I love Rob Thomas sung the theme song. You can recommend all these movies on http://www.myreks.com.
