-memorable scenes -key information -areas that were weak or needed improvement Lion King is a 1994 Disney animated film about lions. It is loosely based on Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". The plot revolves around a lion named Simba who is tricked by his evil uncle, Scar, that he had killed his father, Mufasa. The movie is set in the Africa, the Pride Lands. Scar, is the king's brother and he secretly murdered Mufasa by throwing him into a gorge. The movie then follows Simba's journey as he meets new friends and resides in a paradise-like place until his childhood friend, Nala, finds him. Nala then tells Simba about the kingdom under Scar's rule and that the Pride Lands is now a wasteland. After much persuasion, Simba returns to his homeland to fight Scar and take his rightful place as the king. The first scene, when baby Simba is first shown to the whole kingdom, everyone rejoices and celebrates. A memorable moment is the scene when Simba finds his dead father. Sad and slow music is played throughout this scene and Simba is shown trying to awaken his father. Another scene is Simba's reunion with Nala and they fall in love. The song, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", is played in this scene and the atmosphere is very romantic. Also, the final scene when Simba walks up a large rock and roars, announcing his regaining of the throne. This is a very symbolic and dramatic moment. In the "Can you Feel the Love Tonight?" scene when Nala and Simba tumble about, it is clear to an older audience, from the lions' behaviour and expressions, that they will involve in an act which is considered inappropriate to younger audiences. The film is rated PG and the character's questionable actions should not be shown. Also, the film heavily relies on stereotypes. The hyenas are typical henchmen-like minions of Scar. Similarly, Scar is the obvious revenge-driven villain which all movies seem to have. Lion King is a movie which evokes a lot of emotion. There are scenes which make you laugh and scenes which are so heart-breakingly tragic. There is a strong message hidden behind every major scene and ultimately ends with the big message saying, "You cannot run away from your destiny," when Mufasa's ghost appears and warns Simba. 10/10 Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, R, 15/06/94, Lion King, Walt Disney.
