      Audience Member A family of great white hunters living in Africa have their village visited by the titular cross-eyed lion and wacky animal Disney hijinks ensue. It's nothing you haven't already seen dozens of times before, but as usual, Disney pretty consistently makes enjoyable entertainment that's hard to resist. This film was so popular at the time that it spun off into it's own TV series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Remember watching this as a kid with my family! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Great family movie with some good animal/action scenes and the cuddliest lion you have ever seen! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It was so ridiculous and funny that I was almost bored Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great if you're six. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A trouble-making chimp, a boa that likes to escape and a cross-eyed lion. Definately a recipe for a great classic comedy.
