"Hamlet" meets The Jungle Book - that's what The Lion King is - adding, of course, a few special touches all its own. Disney's 32nd animated feature film is its darkest since The Black Cauldron, and, in many ways, a departure from the light-hearte...

Spoilers: This review speaks in specific terms about the ending of the film. If you haven't seen it and intend to do so, avoid reading beyond the first few paragraphs. The Mission represented Roland Joffé's follow-up to his deeply unsettling...
