Despite some less-than-kind reviews from the critics, The Lion King killed it at the box to the sound of $185 million.

The movie surpassed all expectations and is now the 9th highest grossing film.

The Lion King now has the largest July opening for a PG movie.

Critics hated the movie so much that it received a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of the complaints is that the lions do not have any facial expressions. In the cartoon version they were very expressive.
