**Full Disclosure: I received a copy of Disney’s The Lion King on Blu-ray for review purposes. Also, this post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.

I don’t think my boys had ever seen The Lion King. I’m not sure why – maybe I thought it was too much for them to handle? I cry every time I see the movie but it’s such a good film. The music from The Lion King is simply fantastic and there’s a great story-line to boot.
