Thirty years later, “The Lion King” is still the leader of the pride and the pride of Disney. The animated film, which debuted in 1994, still ranks as the highest-grossing traditionally animated movie of all time and has not only inspired multiple sequels but also a Tony Award-winning musical that is still on the Broadway boards, multiple live-action films, and decades of love.

Last May, stars of the films and musical came together at the Hollywood Bowl for a musical extravaganza worthy of the film. Still, if you couldn’t make it to Los Angeles last spring, hakuna matata: on Feb. 7, watch the premiere of the concert film “The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl” exclusively on Disney+. Watch the celebration beginning Friday with a subscription to Disney+!
