Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom

In addition to rustling up grubs in Camp Minnie-Mickey, the talented cast of The Lion King performs a 30-minute stage show in the Lion King Theater (which is now completely enclosed and thoroughly air-conditioned). Presented in the round, this lavish revue is as bright and boisterous as they come. The dramatic opening features a parade of performers in colorful animal costumes. What follows is an intriguing, energetic interpretation of the film, including songs, dances, and acrobatics.
