From 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

 King of all cd's July 13, 2004
Craig G. Morrison (Aus)
By far the best soundtrack will be the original soundtrack of the original lion king, but this Cd is a s good as can be. The morning report which takes a while to like just add's an extra bounce to this cd. If you love the lion king and missed out on the orignal cd then BUY, BUY, BUY.
If you could choose from 10 stars it would be a 10.
Awesome soundtrack and a must have.
Easily the greatest soundtrack of all time- and I mean that April 18, 2004
John Sinclair (Nashville, TN United States)
Whenever I finish watching the miracle of cinema that is The Lion King, I have a problem- I want to watch it again. I realized that I wanted to hear all the dazzling music whenever I wanted. That's where this soundtrack comes in. The music is incredible. "Circle of Life" is magnificent with all of its beautiful African rhythms and powerful vocals. "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" is a nice, snazzy little number. "Be Prepared" is sinister and excellent. "Hakuna Matata" is a wonderful, upbeat piece. And then, there is the Academy Award-winning "Can You Feel The Love Tonight".
It is impossible to describe with words the beauty and passion that is the one of the two greatest pieces of music ever made (the other being Eric Clapton's "Layla".) "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is lyrical poetry. It is amazing art in melody. Even as a grown man, it still brings tears to my eyes. And even in addition to these, there are wonderful selections from the Oscar-awarded score, and Elton John's version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". I would pay any price for this soundtrack. If you listen to the soundtrack, I know you will agree.
 Great CDs...but the Circle of Stars Circle of Life was BAD! March 9, 2004
Even though I had viewed the movie in theaters when it first came out in 1994, I had never bought the soundtrack. With the special edition coming out, I thought it would be great to get not only the soundtrack, but some added songs too. Well, I enjoyed all the songs from the original film, as well as Morning Report (well, it was kind of cheesy in the movie, but one grows to like it). One big surprise to me was that the (as far as I knew) out-of-print CD "Rhythm of the Pride Lands" was included, complete with inserts. I don't know if this is a rarity or what, because I can't find anything like my two-pack on the internet or elsewhere. On the afore-mentioned-CD, I really liked the deleted song "Warthog Rhapsody" and the "Busa" theme. But the one thing I hated on that disc was the Disney Channel Circle of Stars version of Circle of Life. The first vocal on that track sounded like some teen boy singing falsetto. I'm serious! I stopped midway through that song, and skipped to another track it was so bad. If you haven't gotten the soundtrack at all, I do recommend you getting this, and if you can even find it, get the one labeled 2-CD and get the extremely rare Rhythm of the Pride Lands. Two CDs for the price of one!
THIS CD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! February 28, 2004
No matter what age you are, the lion king MUST be on your favorites list!!!!!
The songs are truly beautiful, and the really nice thing, is that kids my age, (12 yrs old) still LOVE the songs from the lion king!!!!
One of my best friends is in the Chicago Childrens' Concert Choir, and they sing songs from the lion king ALOT!!!!!
I LUV THESE SONGS!!!!!!!!!!
