As a child, I can remember watching the Lion King movie several times because my family loved this timeless movie. I always just thought of it as a story about the “circle of life” that we all hear so much about in church and from our parents. However, for this assignment I chose to watch this movie once more; giving particular attention to details and thoroughly examining Simba’s life stage development in relation to Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages and Jean Piaget’s cognitive development stages. Needless to say, I was able to find significant evidence relating to these developmental theorists. The story not only displays the hardships of maturation, and the perplexities associated with growing, but it also deals with the search for one’s own identity and responsibility.

Almost everyone in the world is familiar with the infamous Disney movie The Lion King, but very few have gone into detail and analyzed the rhetoric within the film. Each scene is filled with a sense of pathos that tugs on the emotions of the audience and inevitably pushes them to one side over the other. It is interesting to see how the voices, color, and actions of each character have such an effect on their personalities which then has an effect on the audience and leaves them judging the morals of the characters. For people who grew up watching the original Disney movies, this is a great film to watch in depth and really figure out the meaning behind each scene.

In this essay I will be comparing the lion king scenes to all of the subjects that we learned over the course of 9th grade. First I will be talking about Machiavelli and his influence is in lion king. The character that mostly represented him is Mufasa because of his braveness and loyalty and the hereditary principality. If you don't know him. he is the king of all animals except the hyenas they live in a different area. they are represented by the mercenaries in Machiavelli.which how scar gets help from them to kills his brother Mufasa. He is king of the jungle and he is the protector of all of their land. The one scene is the part where his son asks him about being scared and brave. Mufasa tells him that sometimes you have to be brave when it's needed.The second which is the scene when we get the “fox and the lion” subliminally.

Heroes are present in movies, tv shows or games. A “hero's journey” shows a character's journey on gaining the title of a “hero”. A movie or tv show may show a character or multiple characters go through very difficult times but it the end show how they overcame adversity and is now known as a hero. In the Lion King, Simba can be seen as a hero with the challenges he endures and what he overcomes by the end. Simba has many heroic qualities his wisdom, compassion for others, moral reasoning and responsibility makes him stand out above all other characters. Simba as a young lion, was very selfish and naive to many things happening at Pride Rock . His choice to run away at a young age showed he didn't want to face his problems or accept what he thought he did. Simba begins to gain heroic qualities as he is now living his own life in a faraway jungle, he is learning how to be independent, and how to live his own life instead of being in the shadow of his dad, the king of Pride Rock.

The 2016 film Lion, which was first a book called “A Long Way Home”, is a film where a boy named Saroo was separated from his brother in the train station, which leads to Saroo getting on a train taking him thousands of miles away from his family and his home. Saroo, who was only five-years-old when he got lost, had to learn to survive alone in Kolkata, West Bengal. Days after arriving to Kolkata, the city the train left him at, he got admitted into an orphanage, which later turned out to him getting adopted by an Australian couple. But twenty-five years later, he starts to wonder where his first home and family are at the moment. With only his memories, determination, and Google Earth he starts looking and searching where his small

Watching The Lion King as a child, you see it as a tale of a young lion cub going through highs and lows and in the end defeating the villain and saving the day. But looking deeper, you see that the storyline has much more to it. It’s about the young lion cub Simba, who is the next in line to be king, who is taught by his father Mufasa. This leads to Mufasa’s brother, Scar, to create a realistic conflict, in which he kills his own brother and generates a scapegoat- Simba- by blaming him, giving him thoughts that everyone will be disappointed for the reason that it was his fault. This, in turn, causes the young cub to feel ostracized from his pride, leading him to run away. Simba meets up with a meerkat (Timon) and a warthog (Pumba), to which he conforms to their way of thinking as they raise him. They teach him Hakuna Matata - “No worries”- , which he follows and he uses it when Nala tells him to come back. It also created a self-fulfilling prophecy of

The plot of the story is when a young lion prince is born and his evil uncle plots to kill him and his father the king. After the king is murdered, the prince runs away from his kingdom leaving the uncle in charge by default. The movie appeals to people of all ages because it shows that all cultures seemed to enjoy the consistent use of well-known archetypes. The Lion King shows similarities of all ages by recognizing common, situational, and character archetypes.

The short story “Pride of Seven”, Robert W. Krepps lets readers examine how difficult it can be to fit with society by being individual, and how people can met with peace and still be accepted. A man is narrating a story about how an african american, En-gerr, who is a man that has to show his people he isn't a child anymore by defeating a lion. The lion he chooses is a specifically special lion to the narrator who he names Elsfar, and watches the lions from a hill as they bicker and play. When the narrator brings En-gerr to the hill to watch the lions, En-gerr decides to choose Elsfar to fight to the death in order to earn his manhood. As he goes to fight the lion, Elsfar attacks the less bulky lion who was named black mane. Elsfar then defeats him as the natives are yelling in amazement and En-gerr ,instead of defeating the lion, makes peace with it and is accepted by his native friends by the decision he made.

The clouds turned eerie and dark, as lightning struck beautifully, and the thunder roared loudly in the sky, welcoming the new king of the Lionheart Kingdom, King Leo XVI. Leo was a fortunate and young cub born in the wealthy side of the kingdom. He was chosen to be the king because his grandfather, Leo XIV had died. Leo was still a young cub, and he still had so much to discover about the world around him. He was not the typical lion who was brave, courageous, and audacious; he was more of a lazy, indolent, and an indecisive lion. As soon as he became king he moved into a paradisal and heavenly palace called Leon, where everything is what any poor animal could ever dreamed of. And what is a king without a queen? Leo decided

Both “Raising Voices for Cecil the Lion” by National Public Radio author Barbara J. King and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies have an underlying theme of how society works and comes together to deal with a threat or problem. They both show that people do tend to unite on sides of an issue.

One can’t help but notice several distinct similarities within Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Disney’s The Lion King. Whether these similarities are intentional, or merely alike by coincidence has been a topic of numerous literary debates. This essay will serve to prove the argument that The Lion King is in fact, based off of Hamlet. The basis for this argument will be the central themes of the fight for power, and a thirst for revenge and justice.

This transcendental thought can be seen throughout the movie, The Lion King, and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s work “Self-Reliance”. In Emerson’s short story and the renowned movie produced by Don Hahn, both display that a rebirth in one’s mindset and new knowledge lead to change. This theme is supported by the conflict described, the characters, and a theme used about not living in the past. The man-vs-self

The Lion is expected by the audience to be furious and eximate power, but each passage shares the aspect that the plot is changed by the character’s doings. In passage one, Androcles and the Lion, the audience expects him to attack Androcles, except he shows his weakness as he “stumbled over the root of a tree and fell down lamed.” This choice of words expresses how the lion did not do the expected and changed the tone from the anticipated. When the lion does not attack Androcles in the circus setting, he also represents the change in plot as he does not do the predictable,”Instead of jumping upon him it fawned upon him and stroked him with its paw and made no attempt to do him any harm,” the lion was not the powerful jungle animal that was expected, but a grateful beast.
