The Lion King is Disney nobility — all pun intended. The animated film is one of the most beloved, celebrated, and successful movies Disney has ever produced, becoming one of highest grossing animated films at the time of its release. Its critical acclaim was as notable as its commercial success, taking home two Academy Awards in the process. It has become a fixture in pop culture, spawning a widely cherished Broadway musical, highly underrated sequels, and a live-action remake that earned even more than the original. With such expansive adoration for the movie, it's hard to believe that the Disney team actually had more faith in another film that was being produced at the time: Pocahontas.
