My Lion King Forum

Don't you find it a bit disturbing that this is a movie for kids and in it Scar kills his brother and tries to kill his nephew? Also at the end of the movie Simba nearly kills his uncle..

It's not just for kids, TLK is a film for all ages!

The whole point with Disney is Good vs Evil with Good being the winner. Look at Finding Nemo with Nemo's mom dying and all. I think it shows that people moron over their loses, but have to keeping pushing on in life for themselves.

It is a bit disturbing, I have to admit, but that's life. Stuff like that happens to people and kids who watch TLK have to learn that even if horrible things happen to them, they have to move on. That's basically what Disney was trying to show here.

Not at all xD I love the movie strait up xD

I agree with you in that the emotions that come with Mufasa's dying in the movie (enlarged by the music and expressions) are maybe a bit too heavy for the young ones. But it's part of life, and in real life we will have to deal with heavy events and losses, too.

But it would be cool if Mufasa was just in a coma, and came back at the end of the movie or something

No, it doesn't bother me. TLK helped me to deal with my great-grandmother's death when I was little.

I doesn't bother me. Even when I fisrt watched it lol. I did not cry when Mufasa died.

you say kids watch it for fun and mainly dont understand the lessons, but 5 years later we do cause we are older e have life exp and are able to process the hidden lessons of tlk
