Editorial Review:
Elton John doesn't seem like a natural choice to write for a Disney musical, but he rose to the task on The Lion King, transcending his usual penchant for the softest of soft rock. Sir Elton's collaboration with Tim Rice (former writing partner of Andrew Lloyd Webber) helps connect the soundtrack to the theatrical lineage of all Disney musicals--so much so that, like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King was eventually adapted for Broadway. Undistinguished songs like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" are far outnumbered by stirring, stately tunes that lent the film so much of its sense of pageant and play. --John Sanchez

Rating:  - The Lion King
I have this album, its one of my favorites, I played it many times since I got it, one of my friends gave it to me because she had a sort out and didn't want it.
This soundtrack, also Rhythm of the pridelands, The Lion King musical album all of them are fantastic, I never get fed up with them, i'm sure I will never give them away to anyone, but I would highly recommend to anybody who likes Disney to give them a go and buy an album so they can hear for themselves how lovely the songs are!

Rating:  - The Lion King COMPLETE Score by Hans Zimmer
Hello everyone. I am an avid collector of film scores, especially rare and out of print promotional items. With over 200 scores in my collection I know the subject well. Among them is a copy of The Lion King: The COMPLETE Score by academy award winner Hans Zimmer. The score features mainly Hans' instrumental music from the film, but there are some tracks that include "Circle of Life", "Can you Feel the Love Tonight", and "Be Prepared". Overall, Mr. Zimmer's work on this album is exceptional and he ... Read More
Rating: - I Like It!
I'm not exactly the world's biggest "Lion King" fan, but I do like the soundtrack. The songs are very good, especially "Circle of Life" and Elton John's version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". And I love the musical scores. Probably my most favorite scores are "To Die For" (even though it's a tragic scene in the movie, the music itself gives me goosebumps, and I mean that in a good way), "This Land", and "King of Pride Rock". This kind of music is definitely award-winning material.
Rating: - Disney, why fix what was never broken?
I love this CD, Hans Zimmer is a brilliantly talented person, and and all the original music on this CD are amazing, very few soundtracks today can compete....
However....
SOMEONE saw fit to add a song...both to the original movie, and now the only soundtrack a person can buy. :S (Stupid 'Morning Report')
Why? Its like raping talent...
If Disney is going to lock up our childhood movies for years at a time, can't they at least give them back to us uncorupted?
Rating: - the best soundtrack of all time
first off, its music was written by Elton John, so immediately, that should spark some respect for the album. the lion king has always been one of my all time faves and this CD is simply amazing. from start to finish. you just can't go wrong w/two versions of the song "circle of life" and the cute "i can't wait to be king" and "hakuna matata". it doesn't matter if you're 10 or 30, when something is good, it's good. and this is REAL music. whether it be the instrumental pieces or the three tracks at ...
