It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.


This animated musical was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff. The songs were composed by Elton John and lyrics written by Tim Rice, with a score by Hans Zimmer. The voice cast includes Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons. The film tells the story of Simba, a young lion prince, who will one day be king. However, his bitter uncle has other ideas. This film won two Oscars - Best Music, Original Song for Elton John (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics) for the song 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight', and Best Music, Original Score for Hans Zimmer.
