The Lion King

As I watched Hidden Colors, I begin to instantly draw parallels between the situation blacks have been subjected to and the message I decoded from the movie The Lion King. I will break down some of the vital parts of the film and even include pictures if possible.

The Lion King was served to us on a platter and we were never told the influence behind one of Disney’s most popular animated films. The Lion King was set in an African land, characterized by animals found in Africa and voiced by black characters but there is more to the story. The Lion King was influenced by Sundiata Kieta and his willingness to respond to the people of Mali to help overthrow his brother and restore the city. The following post will outline my thoughts.
