Characters/ Actors: Matthew Broderick (Simba), Jeremy Irons (Scar), E. Sabella (Pumba), N. Lane (Timón), M. Kelly (Nala) and James Earl Jones (Mufasa).

Review:
In my opinion this is the best movie of all times and a classic for all families. The story is about a lion's family which had its kingdom in a jungle. Mufasa, the king, lived with his son called Simba and his wife Sarabi. They used to live very happy till one day that the king’s brother tried to kill Mufasa and Simba to take the kingdom himself. He could kill Mufasa and take the kingdom with the help of the hyenas but fortunately couldn’t kill Simba. Simba was afraid, too young and decided to ran away. A few years later, Nala, simba’s friend found him living with two new funny friends very far of the kingdom lands. So she tried to convince Simba to return and take his place on the kingdom because Mufasa wasn't the true king, he was a very bad one and because the lions were starving. Confused Simba didn’t know what to do, but an old family’s friend told him, he has to remember who he is and that he is the true king so he has to return, forget the past and learn about it. When Simba returned to his lands he realized that Mufasa was killed by Scar, his uncle, So he fought against his uncle and Mufasa died. At the final of the story, Simba had a daughter with Nala and seemed to be very happy.

He fried's uncle helped her to get her plan. Holly sent her letters, mails, little gifts etc.Her plan was successful because her mother showed happy but Holly couldn't go on playing with her mother's illusion and she organised an appointment. Her mother went there and Holley appeared (instead of that admirer) telling her all the truth. Jean's reaction was of anger and sadness but at last she understood Holly had been looking for her happiness.
In my opinion the movie is interesting, and I understand Holly's situation because I'm teenager.
I also liked the actors and actresses's performance because they worked very well.
