Picking a favorite character is like picking a favorite child! I loved Mufasa because he’s such a great dad. I loved Simba because the Lion King is his coming of age story. And I loved Pumbaa & Timon because they’re hilarious!
Its Simba. Even though he thinks he has done something wrong he goes back to take care of his herd.
From a comical standpoint, I love Timon and Pumba. From a more serious role, I love Simba, and the journey he goes on to eventually become king.
I’m super excited to watch this open with my family. The visuals are just so realistic.
I always loved Pumba so much! He and Timone make quite the dynamic duo.
Obviously I love and can idemtify with Simba. He is somewhat flawed but makes it despite that and leads everyone as the new king..

My favorite is Mufasa. Love how he explains and teaches simba how the world works. The walk they take is very endearing .
I can’t wait to see this movie. I have to get it on blu ray!
