List of the best movies to watch in 2023
1. The Lion King
It’s been almost two decades since Disney’s The Lion King debuted in theaters, and the epic animated film is still going strong. The story of a lion king (voiced by Matthew Broderick), his loyal retinue of explorers, and their journey through the Untamed Lands to return home safely, The Lion King is a classic that remains as relevant today as it did when it premiered.
There are a number of reasons this classic remains as relevant today as it did when it premiered. Chief among them is the fact that the whole “returning home safely” theme is an all-too-real depiction of the African-American experience in the 20th century. We see this in Disney’s animated feature as well as in other kid-friendly media outlets.
