Although the reincarnation of life
is a cartoon, it is the most serious cartoon in Disney history. Although it is an original script, more film critics often compare "The Lion King" to the animated version of "Hamlet", and even the scriptwriting team is calm and deeply influenced by the story, Shakespeare and ancient Greek mythology. Mufasa's teachings to Simba perfectly illustrate the ABCs of the Law of the Jungle.

All life in the world exists in a delicate balance", which is the eternal law of the universe.
Responsibility VS Freedom
Young Simba believes that his father Mufasa's death was caused by himself, and finally chooses to escape. The days of Hedingban and Pengpeng were relaxed and free, which could have allowed Simba to hide in the "Peach Blossom Land" of his life and enjoy the "insect feast".
