Amazon.com: Elton John doesn't seem like a natural choice to write for a Disney musical, but he rose to the task on The Lion King, transcending his usual penchant for the softest of soft rock. Sir Elton's collaboration with Tim Rice (former writing partner of Andrew Lloyd Webber) helps connect the soundtrack to the theatrical lineage of all Disney musicals--so much so that, like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King was eventually adapted for Broadway. Undistinguished songs like 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight?' are far outnumbered by stirring, stately tunes that lent the film so much of its sense of pageant and play. --John Sanchez

I have this album, its one of my favorites, I played it many times since I got it, one of my friends gave it to me because she had a sort out and didn't want it.
This soundtrack, also Rhythm of the pridelands, The Lion King musical album all of them are fantastic, I never get fed up with them, i'm sure I will never give them away to anyone, but I would highly recommend to anybody who likes Disney to give them a go and buy an album so they can hear for themselves how lovely the songs are!
If music like this didn't touch my heart in any way or lift my spirit, I would not buy it or recommend it.
The songs from The Lion King are my favourite because I can relate to the majority of the story.
Like Simba I lost my Dad when I was young back in 1994, Simba blamed himself after his Dad died, so did I for a while. Simba obviously did not kill his father, it was his uncle. I wasn't to blame either ... Read More
Rating: - The Lion King COMPLETE Score by Hans Zimmer
Hello everyone. I am an avid collector of film scores, especially rare and out of print promotional items. With over 200 scores in my collection I know the subject well. Among them is a copy of The Lion King: The COMPLETE Score by academy award winner Hans Zimmer. The score features mainly Hans' instrumental music from the film, but there are some tracks that include "Circle of Life", "Can you Feel the Love Tonight", and "Be Prepared". Overall, Mr. Zimmer's work on this album is exceptional and he definitely earned the oscar for his work here. If you can manage to locate a copy I highly recommend picking it up. Not only will you get terrific music but you can also say "I own the super-rare complete score"! Here is a track listing:
1. Circle of Life
2. Life Isn't Fair, is it?
3. The Once and Future King
4. Plotting
5. The Elephant Graveyard
6. King of the Past
7. ... Read More
Rating: - I Like It!
I'm not exactly the world's biggest "Lion King" fan, but I do like the soundtrack. The songs are very good, especially "Circle of Life" and Elton John's version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". And I love the musical scores. Probably my most favorite scores are "To Die For" (even though it's a tragic scene in the movie, the music itself gives me goosebumps, and I mean that in a good way), "This Land", and "King of Pride Rock". This kind of music is definitely award-winning material.
