What is the hero's journey in the Lion King?

Answer 1

Call To Adventure

Simba is older now (like a teenager), and Nala comes to tell him that the once wonderful land he used to live in is now a wasteland and overrun by his evil uncle.

Refusal of the Call

He refuses at first because he's been gone for a long time and is embarrassed because he ran away. He also still thinks he is responsible for his father's death.

Supernatural Aid

Rafiki the baboon does a little magic to allow Simba to talk to his father in the stars. Rafiki also shows Simba his reflection and Simba realized it is time for him to take responsibility for the kingdom.

Crossing of the First Threshold

Simba is leaving paradise for his homeland that has now become a wasteland run by Scar and the hyenas. He must be ready to fight his uncle and face his family, as well as take responsibility for the entire kingdom. He eventually goes because he can't bear the thought of his suffering mother.

Belly of the Whale

Simba leaves behind his childhood and chooses to enter the belly of the whale, moving towards his right to be king.

Road of Trials

Simba will face his family and fight his Uncle Scar. He doesn't really want to fight, but is not afraid of anything except facing his family. He receives help from Nala, Timon, and Pumba.

Atonement with the Father

Simba is told the truth about his father's death not being his fault. He realizes that the only way to make his father truly proud is to take on his responsibility of king.

Apotheosis

Heaven would be having the kingdom back the way it was in the beginning when he was little. Simba defeats Scar and comes to the realization that his family does not blame him for his father's death. He stands on Pride Rock and lets out a mighty roar.

The Ultimate Boon

Simba's goal was to take back the kingdom and return it to normal while making amends with his family.

Refusal of the Return

Simba does not refuse his new position as king because he knows it is his duty and he wants to fulfill his destiny.

Magic Flight

In order for Simba's life to return to normal, he must rebuild the kingdom basically from scratch with the help of all the other lions and animals.

Crossing of the Return Threshold

Normal life returns when Simba becomes king, rebuilds the kingdom, marries Nala, and has a cub of his own.

Freedom To Live

Simba does achieve the ability to let go of the fear and anger due to his father's death. He certainly does not regret the past, and he anticipates the future to be bright with his new family and kingdom.

Answer 2

Simba is considered a hero because he defeated his evil uncle Scar and helped restored the Pride Lands which was droughted under Scar's reign.

Answer 3
