In doing some research for this review, I’ve discovered that in many cases adopted children go through periods of existential depression (and in some cases, this is a lifelong condition) and experience feelings of low self esteem, making it difficult to form strong emotional bonds with others. 20 years later, a period of angst creates within him an obsessive desire to be reunited with the family he lost, at the risk of losing those dear to him. Lion tells the true story – as true as any movie based on real events can be – of Saroo Brierly (played as an adult by Chappie’s Dev Patel, and as a child by Sunny Pawar), a five year old kid growing up in poverty in the city of Khandwa, India, his estrangement from his family which leads to his adoption by a couple in Tasmania, played here by Nicole Kidman in a fine performance, and David Wenham. Less interesting in comparison to what comes before, and I provide this caveat because the first half of the movie is rock solid – entertaining, compelling, and thoroughly engaging. In Lion, the result is a lot less interesting. In the case of Room, while the narrative changes, the second half is still mostly engaging. In Room, it’s the escape of Joy and Jack, in Lion, it’s the jump in time from 1986 to 2006. These movies generally have much the same structure, usually a radical change at the midpoint. It happens in movies too, mostly when the second half of a movie is not as strong as the first. The phrase goes back to something football (soccer, to my readers here in the colonies) pundits say when describing a game where the first half is dominated by one team, and the second half dominated by the other. Yes, there are hyenas in the Disney movie The Lion King.I’ve described a couple of movies as being “of two halves” – Room, most recently. Scar, Mufasa, Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Sabari, Rafiki, and Zazu are the characters in The Lion King.

The Lion King is undoubtedly one of the best movies ever made, owing to its acting, animation sequence, and storyline. Many of the animated scenes of the movie are based on real-life locationsĪ team of animators was sent to Kenya to pay a visit to Hell's Gate National Park and do in-depth research for the movie. But, that didn't stop the filmmakers and the entire crew to work day and night to create one of the best Disney movies of all time. There was an earthquake in 1994 that forced Disney Studios to shut down the production of the movie on a temporary basis. The shooting of 'The Lion King' was stopped for a while due to an earthquake This scene makes us all very sad and angry about Scar, but did you know that animators took more than two years to animate the sequence? Yes, this two-and-a-half-minute wildebeest stampede scene took CGI animators more than two years to create this perfect scene that still breaks our hearts. This is one of the scariest scenes of the movie as this is when King Mufasa dies. The animators and technicians took more than 2 years to create the wildebeest stampede scene Rob Minkoff, the director said that everyone wasn't convinced that making an entire song about eating buds was going to work for the movie, and then after lots of research, the team came up with the phrase 'Hakuna Matata.' We are thankful the team came up with the idea of this song, as all our tensions go away by listening to it. There was another song in place of this named "He's Got it All Worked Out" which means eating bugs. One of the most interesting facts about The Lion King is that this song which means no worries wasn't in the script initially. We cannot imagine "The Lion King" without the song "Hakuna Matata", right? 4." Hakuna Matata" wasn't a part of the originals script But, later on, this lullaby was deleted from the movie. It was supposed to be sung by Sarabi, the mother of Simba to make her son feel protected. No one can forget the scary scene when Simba encountered the hyenas for the first time, and originally, in the movie a lullaby "The Lion in the Moon" was supposed to feature. A lullaby was deleted from 'The Lion King' So, they had to use it as a trailer for the movie.

Well, it is a beautifully shot and powerful scene that is in full rhythm with the song. It marked the first time Disney had ever made a trailer using a complete scene. The "Circle of Life"-filled opening scene was so powerful that it was used as a trailer for the film.
