I just rewatched The Lion King (1994) and while I still think it's good, I believe it's pretty overrated. The film is less than 90 minutes and 40 minutes is just the first act, making the rest of the film very rushed. The film has virtually no second act, relying on two musical montages to express the passage of time and character development, which makes it underwhelming. Well, onto The Lion King II: Simba's Pride now.
