[11] [12] [13] According to Charlie Fink (then- Walt Disney Feature Animation's vice president for creative affairs), he approached Jeffrey Katzenberg, Roy E. Disney, and Peter Schneider with a Bambi in Africa idea with lions. Katzenberg balked at the idea at first, but nevertheless encouraged Fink and his writers to develop a mythos to explain how lions serviced other animals by eating them. [14] Another anecdote states that the idea was conceived during a conversation between Katzenberg, Roy E. Disney, and Schneider on a flight to Europe during a promotional tour. [k] During the conversation, the topic of a story set in Africa came up, and Katzenberg immediately jumped at the idea. [16] Katzenberg decided to add elements involving coming of age and death, and ideas from personal life experiences, such as some of his trials in his career in politics, saying about the film, "It is a little bit about myself."

Does the show contain any special effects I need to be aware of? The Lion King contains theatrical smoke and fog effects as well as strobe lighting during parts of the show. One of Nala and Simba's favorite games is hide-and-pounce. One day when they are playing, Simba forgets one of the important rules of the game and upsets Nala. They become angry with one another and try to find other animals to play with instead, but they can never find any substitute playmates.
