| Baptism
| We've used the scene where the lion cub is
dedicated by the baboon priest in "The Lion King." (Buzz
Trexler) |
| Simba is also called back to his baptism when the
baboon takes him to the lagoon to show him his father. Simba sees
the reflection of himself, saying that it isn't his father, it's
just a reflection of himself. Rafiki says "Look Harder, he
lives in you." When Simba looks again he hears the voice of his
father saying: Simba, you have forgotten who you are, you are more
than you have become, Remember who you are..." Great for
reaffirmation of baptism vows. (Jenn. Stiles Williams, Jax fl) |
|
| Fear
| After Mufasa is killed, Simba runs away to avoid
becoming the king of the lion kingdom. Almost dead, Pumbaa and Timon
rescue Simba, and nurture him with their "Hakuna Matata"
song and philosophy. "No worries!" It is Simba's fear of
inadequacy that keeps him from accepting his role as king. The
entire script for the movie can be found at http://www.lionking.org/scripts/Script.doc.
