What Should We Learn from The Lion King

The Lion King is one of the best Disney Movies I have ever seen. It tell a story that is something everyone can relate to, whether they are a lion or not. Simba is destined to be king one day and just can’t wait for it; everyone can relate to wanting to grow up and become an adult, to do whatever they want and not have to worry about being punished by adults. His father tries to teach him that, despite the fact that he will one day be grown and king, his life will not be easy. Simba has to learn his lesson in a hard way when his Uncle Scar, who wants the throne too, kills his father and tells Simba that it is his fault. Suddenly, growing up doesn’t seem so great anymore. And so, Simba flees his home and comes across Timon and Pumbaa, two other outcasts. They teach Simba the “Hakuna Matata” lifestyle, something that idealizes a life free of stress, worry and responsibility. Now, don’t we all wish we could live this way? No worries for the rest of our days… But when Simba’s childhood friend Nala returns, he realizes that he can’t live Hakuna Matata forever, for he does have a responsibility to his pride and his homeland. Simba understands that he must grow up, as we all do, and does what’s right. It is an educational movie in which kids can learn something about life. To learn what they should do when come across hardships. It is also a good movie for adults to learn more about kids’ thoughts, and the way their kids would be educated.
