One of the greatest opening scenes in movie history!

This movie was a complete MASTERPIECE, I know a lot of people today claim toy story 3, up, frozen, etc are the best. But in my humble opinion Disney/Pixar will NEVER be able to produce a better movie than The Lion King!

When you have an army of singers but they don't drown out soft instruments. That's how you harmonize. Beautiful.

[scottgammon]

Hans Zimmer is a master.
Mack Wilberg is a genius.
Alex Boyé is beautiful and amazing.
The Tabernacle Choir is astounding.
What do you get when you put all of them together? Some of the most amazing art you've ever listened to

[thehelter]

This is the stuff that we need to go back to Disney. Just wholesome.

Lifts the spirit during these days of isolation and watching people come apart. God has not abandoned his children. We are loved. We need to remember to love each other.

This is about humanity, not religion. We are all ONE HUMAN race. We should embrace and love each other. This song says as much.
