Greg Evans of Variety summarizes The Lion King with very positive words in his posting, stating that “Julie Taymor's approach of this Broadway mainstay is a wonder, a successful adaptation unequaled in its cultural and historical foundation. Exceeding expectations as a film follow-up, the stage adaptation enhances on distinct creative choices of the previous 90s cartoon movie, from visual artistry and narrative to Lebo M's writing and the freshly African-inspired original songs of Elton John and Tim Rice."
