Walt Disney’s film The Lion King (1994) is an animated, musical movie for children of all ages young and old.

Honestly, though it's written by Stephen King, Creepshow is not a contender for my favorite horror anthology film. In fact I see this film as below both King and Romero's ability. I only enjoyed less than half of the stories and with the others being fair or simply boring. Which is sad, because I remember this film being far better than it is. It wasn't until I re-watched this film did I realize I had seen it, but it had been so long that it had mostly been buried under other more resent films. The realization clicked during the second story, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill. As I had remember this short, but I could never place where I had seen it. It makes sense to me that I would remember that one, as it stars King and in my opinion it is far and away the best of the bunch.

A well flushed out script that examines such a timeless struggle as the delicate balance of life and death poses immense challenge for those involved. While this challenge occasionally made itself known, the acting body as a whole did a fine job at overcoming these hurdles.
