What is the moral lesson of ''The Lion's Share''?

Answer 1

I think the moral in "The Lion King" is that our life is a circle and if you doesn't face your problem today and you run away from it then you have to face it someday.

The moral seems more likely to be wrapped up in Simba's ultimatum that he gives to Scar near the end of the film with the words "Step down...or fight".

I've always had trouble with this scene as supposedly being one of the defining moments for *any* hero, much less a family-friendly one from Disney, if only because it seems to project that notion that *might makes right* with no room for discussion or argument or compromise to achieve real, organic and lasting peace.

Looking at Mufasa's governing style, it was one that was inclusive of Scar...even though there had to have been *some* indication that he was a bit of a shady character.

And by contrast, Simba's doofy ultimatum to Scar("Step down...or fight") seems to be a horrible message to put across.

It is one in which the strongest and the most violent get to make all the decisions, and if you don't like it or don't agree with it, then you are going to be subjected to physical violence; again, his words: "Step down...or fight".

I suppose it can be argued that Simba was young and untrained in matters such as these, but that's never explored...instead he is put forth as being *totally* in the right by *demanding* what he had given up(regardless of the circumstances) and outright *threatening* as a consequence if he doesn't get it.

Alternatively, I much prefer to focus on the relationship that Simba has with Timon and Pumbaa when contemplating The Lion King...not the 'Hakuna Matata' silliness so much, but the fact that they operated as his adoptive family.

And I really do appreciate the fact that they explored themes in The Lion King 1&1/2 and 2 which were not apparent in the first film(most especially that of Scar and Simba's children falling in a love which works to reconcile the division between them, and Timon and Pumbaa being Simba's adoptive parents and raising him as his functional mother and father, etc...in the first film, they just came of as "good buddies").

BTW: It is these kinds of themes with a positive center that is also explored to great effect in Lilo & Stitch the movie, but especially the TV series, in which the ultimate destroyer, Stitch, who has been programmed and raised and trained to do nothing but hate and destroy and smash, learns instead to be a good person...to the point where when he meets a fellow "experiment" for the first time in the TV series, he does so with wide open arms and a smile and a hug and the word "Cousin!"; even though none of the experiments have ever proven themselves to be anything but a headache previously(himself included), Stitch is still willing to take them at face-value and accept them for who they are :D

Back to The Lion King, like any popular movie, there's room for discussion and debate on any topic that can come to mind, and these are just a few rather personal opinions on the matter...I actually don't know what the canonical take on The Lion King is from Disney themselves(or if they even had one, realistically, considering how much its been documented that they lifted from Kimba The White Lion...translation and appropriation is another thing that can muddy up the defining features of any creative venture, looking at how myths and folktales and popular media change from culture to culture, etc).

Answer 2

The main theme is *probably* connected, however tentatively, to the title song of the film: 'The Circle Of Life', if only because that's an easy message to sell on a large-scale.

However, the true moral of the actions of the characters(if any) seems to be wrapped up in Simba's ultimatum that he gives to Scar near the end of the film with the words "Step down...or fight".

Answer 4

I think the Moral Lesson in The Lion King is "don't run away from home, don't let other accuse you of something you have no control over, and that you should listen to your parents if they tell you DON'T GO to a specific place or area".
