If you loved The Little Matchgirl, try The Lion King

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Roger Allers, and they both carry the cozy, devastating mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Little Matchgirl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lion King is

Savannah, sunlight, a worn pawprint. A young lion's father falls, his uncle's shadow looms, a kingdom's future hangs. This film's timeless story is best revisited on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
