The Lion King is truly the Disney movie of all Disney movies. We challenge you to find a 90's kid who wasn't extremely affected by this film. Whether they identified with Simba's struggle to succeed the throne, were simply traumatized by Mufasa's death, or got kind of annoyed that Nala had to pull everything together in the end with none of the credit, everyone has an opinion.
The Lion King wouldn't have been the same without the amazing Whoopi Goldberg voicing Shenzi the hyena. While it wasn't exactly a leading role, it was just the right touch for Scar's gang of loyal yet very stupid followers. Goldberg, of course, has stolen our hearts before in plenty of other films, such as the Sister Act series, The Color Purple, Ghost, Made in America, and many, many more.
