Hakuna Matata Courage isn’t limited to saving a kitten from a burning building. While courageous acts are valuable to society, these don’t alone define the term “courage”. It’s necessary that every young child growing up is aware that they don’t have to perform outrageously difficult tasks in order to be considered courageous. Courage can be simple acts of standing up for what you believe in when it’s against the popular opinion. I am defining courage as the little bravery of stepping off the ledge
make all troubles go away. “Hakuna Matata” was a song written by Tim Rice with music by Elton John. This song is also a story about a warthog before he discovered this amazing expression. However, the biggest part of the song is about being carefree and forgetting any troubles that may arise. As finals approach, a student needs to revisit their childhood past and recall the “wonderful phrase:” “Timon - Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase Pumbaa - Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passin’ craze Timon
feeling is what you attract into your experience" This quote from The Secret expresses young king Simba’s struggle throughout The Lion King perfectly, from the moment his life got inverted, to the day his destiny was finally realized. During the “Hakuna Matata” sequence, Simba’s transformation into manhood from childhood innocence is witnessed, but this was only a physical alteration. It becomes apparent later on in the film that he was still a naïve child, virtually unchanged mentally from the beginning
while raising him. Although change can be scary you can’t dwell on in your past to help you take the steps you need. Timon and Pumbaa teach Simba “Hakuna Matata,” which means no worries, and not to mention it is a philosophy. When they found Simba, he was in a state of depression and self blame, as he grew, he himself began to understand Hakuna Matata, and it allowed to him to forget the past. As Simba continued to grow, Timon and Pumpaa taught him how to have a carefree life and showed him what

One of the most controversial pieces of Hamlet is whether Hamlet’s madness is real or if he is faking it. If his madness isn’t real, and he is feigning it, it opens up the idea that he is using his madness as a distraction in order to divert attention from his true actions of killing Claudius. In The Lion King, Simba doesn’t have any of his own madness, but his friends Timone and Pumba supply him with some of their own. Timone and Pumba are Hamlet’s madness, but instead of Simba being mad himself
Although the movie The Lion King is often times viewed as nothing more than a child-based movie, in actuality, it contains a much deeper meaning. It is a movie that not only displays the hardships of maturation, and the perplexities associated with growing, but it is also a movie that deals with the search for one's identity and responsibility. As said by director Julie Taymor, "In addition to being a tale about a boy's personal growth, the `Lion King' dramatizes the ritual of the `Circle of Life'
offscreen. This means that it consists of sound effects, music, or vocals that originate from the world of the story. For examples, in the movie The Lion King, the animals talk. In real life, animals do not talk. Also in the scene where they sing “Hakuna Matata”, the music in the movie tells what is happening through the lives of the characters, but in the real life all we see is people talking and screaming but not the music expressing our feelings, like The Lion King. Another scene is where the animals
For the Final paper I decide to take four of the major songs on The Lion King soundtrack and compared it to the broadway musical; in terms of the musical melody, rhythm and harmony. The Lion King a children's version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with the use of it secular music and strong Africanism, it has become one of the most influential stories. There is a lot of difference when it comes to the soundtrack and the on Broadway musical even if the story is the same. They may be the same songs written

that a behavior would be repeated. The best example from The Lion King of a punishment is when Nala ran away from Simba after he informed her that he was not returning to Pride Rock. Simba deeply loved Nala and he hoped she would agree with the Hakuna Matata philosopy that he was using to hide from his past. But she did not and ran from Simba after an argument. The fact that his true love did not want to be with him was a punishing blow to Simba, helping him rethink his worldview and preparing him
over their father’s death are similar. In Hamlet, Hamlet pretends that he has gone crazy to try and buy time to avenge his father. While in The Lion King Simba runs away and starts living with Timon and Pumbaa living and breathing the phrase ‘Hakuna Matata’ (no worries). The composers would have made this change so that younger children would be able to follow the movie and it doesn’t allow the terrible repercussions of pretending to be crazy.
The theme of betrayal is commonly explored through stories of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ and Disney’s ‘Lion King’. Disney’s ‘The Lion King’ shows us that betrayal isn’t just about murder and killing, but more about the feeling of vengeance.
