  • One Biblical allusion in The Lion King is that the entire movie is an entire allusion to the story of Moses. Simba and Moses, who were both princes, were exiled when accused of murder. While exiled, they grow to maturity until told by Mufasa/God to return to their homeland. Finally, they free their people from oppression by Scar/Pharoah.
  • Rafiki says "You see, he [Mufasa] lives in you." Since Mufasa is representing God in the film, Mufasa lives in the heart of Simba while God lives in the hearts of Christians.
  • Mufasa died to save Simba from the wildebeest stampede like Jesus died to save people from hell.
  • The Good Samitarian helps an injured traveler like Timon and Pumbaa helps an exhausted Simba.
  • Rafiki anoints baby Simba at the beginning of the film like a priest/pastor anoints a baby after being born.

The Lion King is filled with several Biblical allusions since the filmmakers claim to have been inspired to the Joseph and Moses stories from The Bible. Hope this helps!
