Key Notes

“You’re Mufasa’s boy!” That exclamation is the seminal moment in which this magnificent story of destiny, balance, and majesty turns and is one of my favorite lines in this most moving of tales.

Encapsulated in this statement is the affirmation of Simba’s rightful position as heir and king. Yet despite his pedigree, Simba, besieged by imagined peccadillos and guilt-ridden, leaves the comfort and security of his home to make his way in life.

After all, was it not he whose cavalier behavior caused the death of his beloved father…running made sense, and so he fled. Yet Rafiki would argue that you can’t outrun destiny…a force whose role is ever-present in this amazing journey evidenced by Simba’s fortuitous encounter with two unlikely characters that would preserve Simba’s life, teaching him to survive in the jungle, and whose friendship and support would eventually pave the way to his long-awaited coronation.

Moved by his profound love for Nala, and Pumbaa’s and Timon’s unwavering support, Simba summons the courage to embrace his destiny and take his rightful place at Pride Rock; thus completing the circle of life, restoring balance to the majestic African plains, and establishing himself in the long line of kings whose long-departed watchful eyes look down approvingly on his ascension. - Thomas Kinkade
