When [The Lion King] was released that year, it was a global sensation. Children love the images of Simba, Ding Man, and Peng Peng, while adults can think about good and evil in Hamlet-style revenge stories, and think about the laws of nature and endless philosophies in the animals of the African grasslands. The most exciting part of the film is the music, which was created by the famous soundtrack master Hans Gimmer and singer Elton John. Song and won the Oscar for music. At the beginning of the film is the high-pitched and hopeful "Endless Life", accompanied by the rising sun of the African grasslands and the pictures of the prosperous animals, which makes people sincerely admire the beauty of nature and life. The perfect fit between the music and the plot is the greatest pleasure the film can bring. This kind of music animation has gradually become the standard of animation blockbusters, and it gradually changed after the advent of the 3D era. [The Lion King] Another success is the inspiration for the management of the world's film industry. This animation selects the African animals that are the easiest to reach audiences around the world as its image. The theme is the contest between good and evil, the cycle of life, and the laws of nature. Coupled with sweet music, it is a world product that transcends culture and national boundaries. With the help of Disney's brand and marketing, this will bring a brand new marketing vision and methods for the subsequent animation film production. We should respect Disney's attempt this time, but we should also know that the quality of this film is far from perfect under the reputation of its global marketing strategy.

The story has a single line and is a shortened version of "Hamlet." Scar and the coyotes create chaos of animal attacks. The lion king Mufasa was killed by the knife to save Simba, and Simba left for a foreign land. Growing up, Simba realized the responsibility of rejuvenating the country and returned to the Glory Stone and defeated his uncle. The plot is simple and rough, and the character design is very serious. Mufasa and Simba are representatives of high levels in physical and moral intelligence. Scar and coyote are examples of evil, Parrot Shazu and Peng Peng. Ding Man is a cute and funny harlequin who acts as an atmosphere regulator. Nowadays, there is no market for such a distinct character. Whether it is [Shrek]-style spoof animation or [飞屋环游记]-style Pixar’s warmth, it has long begun to pay attention to the complex and multi-faceted character settings. So it seems today. The honor of the year is more or less "excessive".

The experience of Simba the Lion is absolutely the same as Hamlet, but since it is only a PG-level cartoon, most of the inner monologues in Shakespeare’s script have been completely abandoned, and the inner fighting of Prince Hamlet has also been simplified. The protagonist Simba is more With the addition of two twitter friends-Peng Peng and Ding Man, the seriousness of the original drama is basically gone. The "Prince's Revenge" [The Lion King] in the animal world only focuses on Simba's growth, ignoring the "revenge". The protagonist's enemy's scar can be said to have died of his own evil deeds.
