The Lion King Word Search
The Lion King word search starts at Pride Rock with Simba, his father Mufasa, his uncle Scar and his friend Nala, then follows Simba into exile with Timon and Pumbaa, while Rafiki and Zazu keep watch over the kingdom he left behind.
Many of the names are Swahili words: simba means lion, rafiki means friend, and hakuna matata, the motto Timon and Pumbaa teach Simba, means no worries. Before drawing, the animators traveled to Kenya to study the land, and real lions were brought into the studio so the artists could sketch them up close. The story borrows from Hamlet: an uncle kills the king to take the throne, and the son is visited by his father's ghost, who tells him to remember who he is.
Disney released the film in 1994. Elton John and Tim Rice wrote the songs and Hans Zimmer wrote the score, and both won Oscars, the songs for Can You Feel the Love Tonight. James Earl Jones voiced Mufasa, and he came back for the same role in the 2019 remake. On Broadway, Julie Taymor staged the story with masks and puppets, and the show has taken in more money than any other musical in Broadway history.
