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

 The Lion King COMPLETE Score by Hans Zimmer January 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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. Hyenas
8. Stampede
9. To Die For
10. What Have You Done?/Run Away
11. Alternate 1
12. A New Era/Bowling for Buzzards
13. Simba Awakens
14. Under the Stars/Simba Alive
15. Hunting/Pinned Again/Reunion
16. Alternate 2
17. An Argument/You're Mufasa's Boy
18. This is my Home
19. The Return/Battle of Pride Rock
20. Alternate 3
21. Alternate 4
 I Like It! December 29, 2007
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.
Disney, why fix what was never broken? December 17, 2007
I love this CD, Hans Zimmer is a brilliantly talented person, and and all the original music on this CD are amazing, very few soundtracks today can compete....
However....
SOMEONE saw fit to add a song...both to the original movie, and now the only soundtrack a person can buy. :S (Stupid 'Morning Report')
Why? Its like raping talent...
If Disney is going to lock up our childhood movies for years at a time, can't they at least give them back to us uncorupted?
the best soundtrack of all time November 8, 2007
first off, its music was written by Elton John, so immediately, that should spark some respect for the album. the lion king has always been one of my all time faves and this CD is simply amazing. from start to finish. you just can't go wrong w/two versions of the song "circle of life" and the cute "i can't wait to be king" and "hakuna matata". it doesn't matter if you're 10 or 30, when something is good, it's good. and this is REAL music. whether it be the instrumental pieces or the three tracks at the end performed by Elton John himself, this is something that deserves the recognition. Unlike everything else polluting the air waves today, this is QUALITY music. this has real meaning and talent.
Excellant Entertainment And Children Friendly August 16, 2007
I am so very happy with this CD and so is my 8mth old daughter. She listens too it at bedtime and we often play it in the car and have a sing along. To tell the truth I actually love the CD and listen to it even if she isn't in the car as it has a happy innocent calming effect, not to mention I find the whole CD very fun. And behind all the fun there is something to take in and learn from each and every song. Absolutely beautiful.
