When I was a little kid, I loved watching The Lion King. It had everything I wanted in a movie; there was action, adventure, a little romance, and a ton of jokes. I was certainly not alone in this venture.The original movie made $981,708,285 at the worldwide box office, and was thrust into the cultural lexicon with songs like "Hakuna Matata" and "The Circle of Life". It spawned some straight-to-DVD sequels, a 'live-action' reboot, and now a prequel.All of this, plus the impending Mufasa movie, got me thinking... Is The Lion King the greatest animated movie of all time?So, today, I want to sort through this question and find the answer. What is The Greatest Animated Movie of All Time?Animation is one of my favorite mediums in all of filmmaking. It can open a lot of doors that live action simply cannot. From creative places to put the camera to anthropomorphized characters, the possibilities are endless. Between Pixar and Disney, animation has produced some of the highest grossing movies of all time. And some of the most emotional ans best movies in general.You don't have to be a huge company for that. Or even American. Those Studio Ghibli movies have conquered the world, and I love the Laika films as well. So how can you sit and boil down what the greatest movie made in a singular medium can be? Well, it's always going to be subjective, because film is a subjective medium. So, what's the criteria I'd base it...
