Analysis Of The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride

The Lion King is a good movie to do the movie application project on. Many people have seen this movie in their childhood. I never paid attention before to how much this movie actually shows us. The studies that we went over in this chapter go well with this movie.Obedience is a big role in this movie due to how the animal kingdom works. In this movie, the hyenas obey scar by listening to him. Scar told the hyenas to help him overthrow Mufusa and kill him so that he can become king.This example of Obedience which is associated with the Milgram's study which was done to show obedience to authority figures.Conformity is also present in this movie because of how the animals are. For example, in this movie

To exemplify Erickson’s psychosocial theory which emphasizes the emergence of the self, the search for identity, the individual’s relationships with others, and the role of culture throughout life (page), I will begin with the opening of the movie which shows Simba at the infancy stage where he is developing a trusting behavior from his parents (Mufasa and Sarabi) and the Hornbill bird, Zazu, who is always reminding everyone to be cautious and careful. His parents accomplished this by providing him a safe and comfortable living environment and Sarabi made sure there was someone wiser (Zazu) to go with him when he wanted to start exploring. Mufasa taught him how to make a living and other new activities,

"The King has returned." These are the powerful words Rafiki uses when telling Nala, Timon, and Pumba that Simba has gone back to the pride lands to overthrow Scar. Before making his entrance to Pride Rock, Simba's "palace," he gains three helpers to assist him in gaining his kingdom back; Nala, Timon, and Pumba all offer their services to him. There are a few scenes in the story that can be easily compared to the Odyssey. First, Simba wants everyone to continue to think he's dead, as Odysseus did prior to his own entrance. Second, Simba uses Timon and Pumba as a form of "Trojan Horse" to distract the hyenas while he and Nala sneak in. Third, Simba tells Nala to "rally the lionesses" as a form of weapon against the hyenas which are like suitors in his palace.

Review: A young lion prince is born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the second in line to the throne. Scar plots with the hyenas to kill King Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself King. The King is killed and Simba is led to believe by Scar that it was his fault, and so flees the kingdom in shame.

A couple minutes after Nala leaves, Simba is graced with the presence of a crazy baboon named Rafiki who tells him that his father is still alive, inside of him, and that he should follow him if he wants to see for himself. Simba follows the baboon to a pond and looks to where the monkey is pointing. Unfortunately he only sees his own reflection but Rafiki tells Simba to look harder. He then sees his father in the water, realizing what the baboon meant. Mufassa is now in the dark clouds telling Simba that he’s forgotten who he was, therefore he’s forgotten him, and this triggers Simba’s emotions making feel disappointed in himself for not going home like he should have. His father then tells him that he needs to find his place back in the circle of life and says “remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are.” His voice is very deep and almost sounds like he is hurting. Then in an instant he is gone with the storm and Simba is chasing after him begging him not to go.

Simba’s heroic qualities don’t just stand out when he is found by Nala begging him to return to Pride Rock to save everyone and the community, but also when he meets Pumbaa and Timon. He is learning how to survive on his own and how to be a true friend. Simba shows all characteristics of a hero throughout his journey, it begins with his separation from his family, and his choice to runaway. Simba has to deal with guilt and is tested emotionally, he has been told that he killed his father and needs

Also with these hyenas their voices capture the viewer's attention because in compression between the main loved characters, these hyenas are played by minorities, Whoopi Goldberg and Cheech Marin. When Simba, the main character, is introduced to Banzai, Ed and Shenzi you get the feeling of the background to be the “ghettoization of Blacks and Hispanics” (43) with its dark rock and gloomy touch. The hyenas in the film played the part of being scary and always trying to kill Simba, the little helpless lion. On top of that were played by the voices of an Hispanic and African American gives the intended audience, children, the idea that these types of races are not only bad in films but also in the real world. Also, any male or female lion that was

Animals travel devotedly across the African plains to witness the unveiling of the newborn prince, Simba, the cub of the esteemed Lion King, Mufasa. As he grows into an adventurous yet oftentimes reckless young lion, Simba and his best friend, and eventual mate, Nala get into mischief despite Mufasa’s attempts to teach humility, responsibility, and leadership. As Simba nears the age of assuming the throne his bitter reclusive uncle, Scar, seethes with jealousy. Plotting the deaths of his older brother and nephew, Scar stages a stampede where he murders Mufasa and scares young Simba into believing he killed his own father, forcing him to flee. Timon, a showy meerkat, and Pumba, a clueless yet companionable warthog, find Simba unconscious in

At the beginning of the movie, you can already tell that Scar has an attitude toward the king. This would show how he is and how he treats Simba throughout

Simba takes his rightful place on pride rock on his road back home. Simba is resurrected he is accepted back into the Pride and he returns with the Elixir and the pride lands are returned to normal. Simba went through the journey from start to finish in what that viewer saw as continual growth and development of courage.

Though many reviewers like to focus on the comic relief characters of the movie: Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu, the characters that truly drove the movie were Simba and his conniving uncle, Scar. In one journal done by KINEMA a journal for film and audiovisual media, the writer describes how “... the physical portrayal of the two characters themselves already reveal their inner qualities” (KINEMA). Simba, at least as a child, is seen around vibrant colors, and the character himself is always energetic. Scar on the other hand, is always seen with poor posture and grim lighting (KINEMA). The way these two contrast throughout the movie, and then collide with their colors in the final fight scene of the movie, really ties the film together in a way that no other characters could.

Nala explains the wretched condition of the Pride Lands since Scar became King and urges Simba to return. Simba comes in contact with the wise baboon. He hesitates out of fear, and out of his rebellion he has a vision of his father that prompts him to return home. When he returns he challenges Scar and wins. He becomes King of the Pride Lands as his father had taught him he would. Nala gives birth to a cub of their own completing the circle of life.

C Simba is born into royalty and disobeys his father. He is overly ambitious and is eager to become king of the pride land, prepared to do anything to claim his royal stature making his ambition his downfall.

Mufasa in an earlier scene when showing Simba their kingdom deliberately tells him that the place where the light doesn’t touch, is a place he must never go. Then when Simba and Nala run off and go they are attacked by hyenas Mufasa is there to save them but is furious that Simba disobeyed him. Simba apologizes, but that doesn’t help, in regret for what he has done he walks with his head down on their path home. This guilt Simba feels helps to fix his bad behavior so he will not do it again, after seeing how disappointed his dad was with him. A shameful moment during the movie was what Simba feels because he felt like he was the blame for his father's death. Running away from his kingdom after Scar convinces him he was responsible for it all. Simba’s shame would be globalized for the kingdom to know that he was a murder, and as a young cub he just couldn’t face it, it devastated

The movie The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride follows the life of Simba and Nala’s daughter Kiara. She falls in love with Kovu, a male lion from an exiled pride known as the Outsiders who was once lead by Simba’s evil uncle named Scar. Separated by Simba’s prejudice against the Outsiders, who are followers of Scar with a vindictive plot planned by Kovu’s mother Zira, Kiara and Kova struggle to overcome the two obstacles that are keeping them apart. Desperate to be together, Kiara and Kovu become the key to join both prides at peace. This paper will be focused on Kiara’s life within the movie and also examine Kiara’s process of development through Freud’s psychosexual and Erikson’s psychosocial stages, and as well as Piaget theories.
