The Circle of Life reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for The Circle of Life, a movie in Future World - The Land at Epcot.
Written by Joseph Thomas NOTE: Although It features characters from the Lion King, This movie is more of a Discovery Channel Documentary-type Motion Picture film about Conservation and Saving the planet. Playing in Epcot's Land pavilion at Walt Disney World, Circle of Life opened in the Harvest Theater on January 21, 1995, as the Walt Disney Co. looked to capitalize on the recent overwhelming success of its animated movie musical, The Lion King. Circle of Life follows The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa, as they dam local rivers to create a lake for their planned "Hakuna Matata Lakeside Village." Simba points out that their actions are robbing other animals downstream of the water they need to survive. Then he really rubs it in by telling Timon and Pumbaa that they're acting like a bunch of human beings. Timon and Pumbaa learn the lesson and remove the dam, restoring the environment for all the downstream animals. Readers' rating:
Bit dull, but still in the spirit of epcot. - A. P. Felt a bit like being in school, and not that many links to the Lion King. An air-conditioned theatre is a welcome break on a long hot summer's day. - Ben Price Preachy and dated. Time for a refurb. - James Rao A important show. A good occassion to entertain kids with the human reality. - gaetan leclercq Nice if slightly dull movie with a well thought out story, a good message and beautiful images - Emily G Good video to make you think about the importance of protecting our environment. - Steven Lee Sorry, my three kids found it very dull! - Mark Moore More attraction and restaurant ratings:
