The Lion King
My parent’s generation grew up mourning the loss of Bambi’s mother. Now comes the epic tale of “The Lion King,” and the mourning of the King of Pride Rock, and the lead character’s father, Mufasa. “The Lion King” is based on half the stories in classical mythology. It is the tale of birth, childhood and eventual manhood of Simba, a young lion cub. The cubs birth is announced in the opening sequence of the song called “The Circle of Life.” The cub is held over a dramatic ledge of rock and all his future heirs. As a carefree cub, he ‘just can’t wait to be king’ and spends his days frolicking with his pal Nala. Nala and Simba become close friends and share the same passion for going against what they are told. Simba’s Uncle Scar had told Simba one day to look out over the ledge from where they were standing. Scar said to Simba that anything that touches the light is all part of Pride Rock and would become Simba’s. Scar said to Simba that anything that touches the light is all part of Pride Rock and would become Simba’s when he became King. Simba became curious about a dark patch of land and asked Scar what it was about. Scar warned Simba to never go there because it meant danger.
