Pandora x Disney launch limited-edition jewellery collection to celebrate The Lion King’s 30th anniversary

I can't even believe it myself but yes, Disney’s The Lion King movie is 30 years old. I am that old that I can even remember going to the cinema to watch the movie when it premiered back in October 1994. 

The film which follows lion cub Simba leaving the Pride Lands after his father Mufasa is murdered by his wicked uncle, Scar. He returns years later all grown up to reclaim his throne. It’s one of the greatest Disney movies ever and Mufasa’s death is one of the saddest moments in cinema history - well for a child to watch anyways. 

The animated movie also featured hits like ‘Circle of Life’, ‘Hakuna Matata’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ by Elton which won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1995. The film was also adapted for theatre production and is the fifth longest running show in London’s West End. 

It’s no surprise then that beloved jewellery maker Pandora wanted to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Lion King, with a brand new collection. Paying homage to the film's iconic characters, Simba, Timon, Pumbaa and more, the thoughtfully designed pieces are available in gold, silver and rose gold, with prices ranging from £45.
