The Lion King Research Paper

I thought the play was fantastic! The genre of the play is children literature and this play in particular the actors were all kids, none older than 17 years old, preformed in the show. The kids were the ones who were doing everything in the play from moving the set, lighting, and wardrobe changes all by themselves.

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 Lion King is one of the most famous Disney animated feature of all time. It has captured the hearts of children and adults everywhere around the world and has made over Three Hundred and twelve million dollars. But The Lion king is much more than a movie that has made a lot of money, it actually is the story of a hero's quest or journey. The hero's journey is reflected everywhere, from a television show to great works of literature, and even movies. A Hero's journey consists of separation, transformation and initiation, and the return of what a hero experienced throughout his/her journey. The story of The Lion King shows how the protagonist Simba follows the Hero's Journey.

“Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope,” said Mufasa, a supporting character in the film depiction of Walt Disney’s: The Lion King (1994). The Lion King is a timeless archetypal work that time after time has given youth hope and has shown them that courage is not always innate, but can be learned from just living life with a little “hakuna matata”. The Lion King, through the use of classic archetype, vivid surrealism, and iconic symbolism, shows a coming to age story that shows children that life is an adventure worth the trouble.

In the year 1994 the Major League Baseball Players Association went on strike and cancelled the season, The Lion King first appeared in movie theatres, Justin Bieber was born, and my parents met. Fast-forward to 2017 and my parents are happily married and about to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Today's world requires leadership to compete and succeed. The rapidly changing conditions in the workplace demand adaptive leadership styles, and the success of an organization relies on leaders evaluating and applying effective leadership styles before workplace failures occur. The Disney's animated movie "The Lion King" portrays a combination of leadership styles and changing conditions. We chose to analyze Mufasa, King of Pride Rock, and explain his use of the Path-Goal Theory and its different leadership approaches based on who he was leading and the situation. Additionally, French and Raven’s Five Bases of Power is presented in order to highlight Mufasa's success in leading the Pride Rock Kingdom, while simultaneously using the

Let’s get right into it with how believable were the actors? Well for me, I thought that all the characters got into it and performed surprisingly very wonderfully. One of the scenes that showed that was how the 4 actors performed a musical part with dance steps as well like movements in a parade. I believe in this play they had to be somewhat believable and keep the attention of the kids because it was only a children’s play. If it was a play for adults it would have to be way more pervasive interesting to keep me watching. Another grand scene was when the monster was dancing around with the other 3 actors dressed up in costumes, with fluent movement, business and singing. To

I went to the performance of, “Of Mice and Men” and words can not describe how incredible it was. You could tell how much effort was put by all into making this show the best. In the beginning I had no Idea what the play was even about, who the characters were, what was going to happen, it was all a surprise to me. I did know though that the cast was small and the stage is also not the biggest but I knew it was going to look incredible. I had expectations for the stage, but when I walked I saw that they surpassed them, like always of course. I had the privilege to see the show twice, once doing the show rehearsal because I was taking pictures for the newspaper, (watch out for those!) And the second time I went to the free show. SO basically I got the best of both

What is Play? A play is the visual depiction of a story written by an author or a playwright that resurrects words once written.Plays allows authors from hundreds of years ago to live todays through the spoken words passed from one character to another. Plays can be an event held at an academic learning facility, or a private theater, typically notorious playwrights have their plays presented over and over. Individuals like William Shakespeare, Sophocles, and oscar wilde, etc. As an individual for a passion in the arts i haven't seen many plays as i would have liked to, the first college play i attended was called The Water Carriers. The experience was remarkable, watching individuals in the play working had to had like an impenetrable unit.

With the limited creativity present in today's society, finding original stories is hard to come by. The majority of modern movies and television are either sequels to older shows and movies, such as Fuller House, or remakes of older shows and movies with a few alterations, such as Maleficent. Although screenwriters try to be innovative when creating a new show or movie, there are bound to be many similarities throughout film history. One particular example of this is Disney’s Frozen and The Lion King. Both of the movies contain almost identical characters, plots, and themes which contributed to the popularity of each in their respective time-periods.

The director managed to help the actors perform convincingly. All of the performers worked exceptionally well as an ensemble and it appeared as the actors were friends with each other. Though there was no use of microphones, you could easily see and hear what was going on and the actors projected their voices correctly. Both the entrances and exits were smooth and the scene changes were made in a smooth manner as well. The stage space was well used, though it might have been used a little too much at times with too many props for the space they had to work with.

An American classic children’s movie, The Lion King, is a musical film produced by Walt Disney. The original story focuses on a young lion who spirits into a self-imposed exile after believing he was at fault for his father’s death. Although the film targets a younger audience, it contains a substantial amount of symbolism that only adults would understand.

The performers played well together as an ensemble. Each actor was worth noting, but standout would have to go to Nicholas Vitela. To see him switch voices so quickly and move that puppet so quickly was so amazing. The costumes are unique to each character and everything complemented each other.  It was easy to see and hear what is going on, the lighting enhanced the show in its own way. Spotlights played their own distinct parts in the show. The colors on the stage were luminous and pleasant they really helped set the scene and added to the atmosphere. The entrances and exits were smooth along with the scene changes, they changed out scenes quietly and swiftly. There were many stage props that were very effective. Props and how the characters used space made it easy to recognize the character's emotions and see which character had what status.

I found this chapter to be very interesting as it talked about the past and the future. It made me think a lot of the Lion King. Specifically the scene where Rafiki is trying to convince Simba that he should go back and face his past. “The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it … or learn from it”. It’s very easy to think running from the past is looking forward through the windshield, but as long as you are running from it you will be looking at the rear-view mirror to stay away from it. It will eventually either catch up to you or you will end up creating an accident in front of you. Sometimes you just have to accept the past and focus on the future. People who focus on the past will never improve. The past may shape
