In 1994, Walt Disney Pictures released their 32nd Disney animated feature film, The Lion King and millions of hearts were captured instantly. The film, which combined Disney's beautiful animation with some of the studio's catchiest songs thanks to Elton John, went on to be one of their best sellers at the box office.

Despite accusations of plagiarism, the story of Simba's exile and return to Pride Rock to take his rightful place as king was built on the same irresistible pillars as all of the best Disneys. It is heart-warming, funny and at times utterly devastating and along with the death of Bambi's mother, it features one of the most profoundly affecting moments in any family film. We all remember how it felt the first time we saw Mufasa die.

When it came time for Disney to look to more of their classics for the live-action remake treatment, it came as no major surprise when The Lion King was chosen and handed to Jon Favreau. Ahead of that film's release this year, how well do you remember the original?
