What the hell, Twist-Chao06
I enjoyed his review so immensely that I must give this movie a high rating.
It was pretty great, with some decent animation and synchronisation... the characters were original in their own right, and gave way for some heart breaking scenes, as well as some humourus ones.
The part where the main character's father dies was especially sad, with the young cub calling "Dad? Come on, we've gotta go home..." in an innocent way, not fully realising the effect that his actions (or what he believes them to be) have had until it was too late.
However, there is an underlying racism towards the white man, mostly aimed, I believe, towards South African settlers. Despite the fact that most black South Africans are just the ones that are illegal immigrants from North Africa, the South African white men, the ones who actually constructed a civalised place there, are very often put in the bad light; but this movie is subtley, once again, against the white South Africans.
Scar was the nickname for one of the first few white prime ministers there, and is used as the name for the evil villain, with other more "white" names.
Rafiki, Nala etc. are all used for the good characters' names, and are also, coincedently, fairly common names for the black South African.
Once again, Walt Disney has shown his racist side.
I highly recommend this movie.
