The Lion King, Walt Disney Pictures' 32nd Animated Feature Film, was released on June 24, 1994 to near universal critical and commercial acclaim. Many consider it to be one of Walt Disney Animation's greatest animated films, if not the greatest. It's an epic, coming-of-age story that has resonated with audiences for almost thirty years. For Chris, it gets a bit more personal (as it should on Movies That Matter).

Chris takes an episode to himself to speak on The Lion King, and not just his personal connection to the film, but his late father's. Listen and discover the special meaning this film has to both father and son, in a special tribute to Chris's own Lion King, who passed away last year.
