if you adore John Williams' whimsy for patriotism and adventure like that which you'd hear in
his countless rousing, stately concert pieces of the 1980's and 1990's.

if obtaining the occasionally rare score on album is not worth redundant and surprisingly
flat-sounding Williams ideas that would be more finely tuned in future works.

The Lion King (Hans Zimmer/Elton John)
- Updated Review, With Additional Album |

Buy it... |
on the impressive 2014 "Legacy Collection" album from Disney if you desire a superior new mix
of the scores and songs as they appeared in the film, especially with an impressive and fresh
