My Lion King Forum

Seeing the lion King in theaters for the first time in my life, made me who I am today. First, it made me fall in love with lions, then I started liking the other big cats. As I grew older I started getting more and more into wildlife. And as I grew more as a lion king fan the more I studied the movie itself, the more I realized the most important lesson of all. I think that the one million dollar scene in the Lion king should have been. "Everything you see here exists together in a delicate balance, As King you need to learn to understand that balance" and "We are all connected in the great circle of life" THAT is e very important crucial lesson that alot of people do realize. Think about that scene for a minute. We are all connected in the great Circle of Life.

Now when it comes to the Circle of Life, its not just applying to it in the TLK Universe and its not just applying to getting up everyday eating breakfast, and going to school/work. It applies to EVERYTHING in nature and around the world, the Circle of Life is happening with every living thing on our planet.

When I learned about Climate Changes and learned more about wildlife, I realized how the circle of life is way off balance in this world we live in . How do you ask? well being a Animal Lover, I realized how much of the Human Species has dominated over Wildlife, that includes poaching and killing for meat. this includes the dolphins and whales, hence endangered species . That's why I'm in college to be an Animal Conservationist, and that is why I am proud to be a Lion King fan.

Go you! Really, good on you for being passionate! Hang onto that passion and don't forget it. It'll drive you to do great things one day. C:

I agree that The Lion King teaches some really important lessons about life and our place in the universe. Even if the full importance of some lines might not sink in as a kid, the movie certainly sets the stage/groundwork for understanding and appreciating those lessons later on in life.

The one that I've been thinking about a lot lately is this scene from Simba's Pride, that's so relevant today:



I believe that certain movies, books, etc that you enjoy as a kid are really important and valuable to shaping who you're going to be later in life. I'd love to collect these kinds of movies and books together for my kids one day, and you can bet your bum The Lion King and Simba's Pride are going to be included.

dont forget about the Circle of life thats what im all about

I could say the same. I first saw The Lion King when I was a preschooler and it made me be obsessed with lions. They have always been my favourite animals and my dream is to get to Africa one day. Furthermore, TLK has, is and will always be my favourite movie.

I'm glad TLK inspired so much passion in you! Both TLK and SP have great lessons to teach, and imo are required viewing for kids
