This film presents us with a colorful natural landscape through CG technology - the vast African land, diverse landforms, rich vegetation, and various wild animals are drawn together to form this vast picture. The lion is the king of all beasts in this territory. Simba has been given the mission to rule here when he grows up, because his father is the lion king Mufasa and his mother is the queen.
However, the road to becoming a king will not be smooth sailing. If as Simba grows up a little bit, Mufasa grows old slowly, finally dying, and passing the throne to Simba at the end of his life, then this story will be smooth. It's not the animal world that audiences want to see, and it's not the animal world that Disney wants to shoot. The creators of the film put the complex emotional relationships of human society on these wild animals, and use the African grassland to lay a huge background to interpret the story of human family, power and love. Therefore, there is a plot of Scar fighting for the throne, designing to kill Mufasa, eradicating Simba, and Simba counterattacking to regain the throne.
Simba's growth process is a microcosm of the growth process of many boys. Usually in society, men have a sense of mission to protect the family and pass on life. They are born to be the pride and hope of the family, and enjoy the family's favor at the beginning of life. But to grow into a mature and responsible man, they also need a series of self-improvement processes. In this process, the most fundamental thing is to acquire independent self-will. Then, he also needs to get social support from parents, partners, friends, family, partners, etc. to help him fulfill his responsibilities and missions together.
