Feedback comments are positive with both parents and children loving every minute of this interactive adventure. Children love Timon’s Tale, and so does anyone from the Disney generation.

I grew up watching the Lion King and it is definitely one of my favorite Disney titles, so this app brings me back. At the same time, my kids love it! The special effects really stand out as well done and the music is really fun to get into.
