25 years ago, Disney's "The Lion King" charmed audiences, and became a franchise, spawning a sequel and a prequel, and two spin-off series, the most recent of which, The Lion Guard, is I believe still airing on Disney Junior.
What helped the movie succeed at the box office as much as the story itself was the soundtrack composed by Tony Award winner Tim Rice and Grammy winner Elton John, who each added an Oscar for "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" the following winter.
Next month, a CGI remake of "The Lion King" hits theatres, with James Earl Jones the only cast member returning from the original, now joined by Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, and Beyonce.
