The Lion King is my second favorite movie of all time. I hate to say it but the 2D film doesn't really work in 3D. If they had done it like a View Master slide with different flat planes layered at different depths it might have worked. Instead the characters had depth unto themselves as if they were 3D models only without any shading. Simba's nose was sticking out of the screen like it was floating in front of his face. The environments looked great and the effects in the Be Prepared sequence was fun at least.

4.5 Stars (out of 5)
