The Greatness of The Lion King
By Nicholas Stix
There is one thing about The Lion King that is great, or had a hand in something very good, or at least was somewhere, vaguely present when something good occurred. Based on the corporate cartoon feature’s title, Susan Warms Dryfoos (yeah, she’s a New York Times Dryfoos), was inspired to entitle her documentary on the life and work of the greatest caricaturist of them all, Al Hirschfeld, The Line King.
