Religion in The Lion King

Woeler1:

Religion as we know it has had a great influence on TLK.

==Baptism==

In the beginning [[Simba]] is born and [[Rafiki]] performs some kind of ritual. All the animals are gathered around pride rock. He then proceeds to crack the gourd and smears a line of the substance across [[Simba]]’s forehead. This is then followed by sprinkling dust over [[Simba]]. When [[Rafiki]] holds [[Simba]] up in the air. Hes is presenting him to the kingdom as a new life.

These are similar to both baptism in Christianity and baptism in West-African ceremonies. In Christianity water is placed on the head to wash away sins and signifies the new life in Christ.

In West-African ceremonies, when a child is baptized it is a great happening. A lot of people gather round as the grandfather presents the child to the crowd.

==Biblical references==

[[Simba]] thinks he killed his father and therefor flees out of the [[Pridelands]] in shame. This event is similar to Moses fleeing the desert after killing an Egyptian. After that Moses was taken in by the family of Jethro. The same happened to [[Simba]] as he is taken in by [[Timon]] and [[Pumbaa]].

When [[Simba]] returns to [[Priderock]] (tallest rock in the area) He fights [[Scar]], throwing him off a cliff. He dies. [[Simba]] saved the animals from chaos, starvation, and extinction. This is similar to the savior requesting humanity by conquering Satan.

==Death==

When [[Simba]] isn upset and runs away from [[Timon]] and [[Pumbaa]], [[Mufasa]] appears in the sky telling [[Simba]] to go back and take his place in the [[circle of life]]. This is a clear reference to the afterlife and death family members watching over you.

'''Dirty Cub''' (original name '''Ein heldenhafter Dreckspatz''' also known as '''A Dirty Cub''', '''A Heroic Dirty Cub''' and '''Giraffe In Trouble''') is a German comic inspired by [[The Lion King]].

== Plot ==

The comic starts out with [[Simba]] taking a shower and not liking one minute of it. [[Sarabi]] mentions that if he didn't get so dirty when he played he would not need to take a shower. The next day, Simba tries to remain spotlessly clean.

Simba has to watch his friends play in the mud puddle and having fun while he tries to stay clean. He puts all that aside, though, when he hears a young giraffe yelling for help. The giraffe is stuck in a hole and can't get out. Simba and [[Nala]] decide to fill the hole with dirt so the giraffe can step out of the hole.

When they finish filling the hole and saving the young giraffe, Simba and Nala are two dirty cubs! Simba returns home to take a shower, telling his mother that today didn't go as planned, but tomorrow...
