Having had it in our collection of movies since its release on video, I too know the lyrics off by heart (though only the English ones!).
My husband and I drove all the way into town to see it at the picture theatre with our sons when they were very young, and we still get to watch it on DVD (the VHS tape wore out!) with our daughter or, at least, that's our excuse
! Such a fantastic musical score and James Earl Jones as the voice for Mufasa never gets old either! It took many viewings before I managed to make it past Mufasa's death without tears...*sniff*
The only thing I DIDN'T like about the movie is that I thought many elements were far too similar to Kimba the White Lion to be mere coincidences (what an outrage I felt it was at the time!). KtWL was a TV show I LOVED when I was a child, and now I relive those happy moments of my childhood by watching old episodes on DVD, again with my daughter
