Why The Lion King is Still the King of the Movie Jungle

The Pride Lands of Cinema

The Lion King was released in 1994, when I was just a year old. Since then, we've seen

tremendous changes in all genres of cinema, and we tend to look with somewhat of a

condescending air at the relics of the past, writing them off as primitive. I disagree

wholeheartedly with this practice. This film, much like Pride Rock itself, has stood the

test of time and continues to be a legitimate piece of artistic literature-- worth seeing

and worth talking about, as illustrated by the following lessons it has taught us.

Allegedly a film just for children, The Lion King goes so far beyond the mind of a child

and calls upon us as global citizens to think more deeply about ourselves and our place in

the universe.

Hakuna Matata

"It means 'no worries' for the rest of your days. . . it's our problem-free philosophy. . .

Hakuna Matata." In this world, there are things we can change, and things we cannot. As a

perfectionist who is extremely attentive to detail and prone to OCD tendencies, I would do

well to remember this motto in the future. It is a simple lesson but a good one. There will

always be evil in the world; it is our challenge to find the beauty amidst the chaos and

destruction.

"Remember who you are."

Mufasa's last words (or those of his ghost, rather) to his son as he fades into the

celestial background leave an echo both in Simba's heart and in ours. After the horror of

the stampede that killed his father, his time away in the jungle, and his mental conversion

to the "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle, these words fall heavily on Simba's conscience. "No

worries" is a great escape tool to utilize from time to time, but we cannot walk away from

our true identity. We can change our present and thereby our future as well, but our past

is part of us-- it is an intrinsic, indelible part of our composition that, try as we may,

will never be erased. Responsibility seems to be a quality extremely lacking in our society

today. Who are we? Can we even remember?

The Great Circle of Life

As Mufasa explains to a young Simba, "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the

antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great circle of life." We have

inherited this earth not to squander nor destroy, but to cherish and cultivate for the

generations to come. Upon seeing the desolation that is post-Scar Pride Rock, Timon

mutters, "Sheesh! Talk about your fixer upper!" The world today is somewhat of a fixer

upper, and only by keeping the future in mind while making decisions about the present will

we be able to continue participating in that Great Circle of Life. In other words, we

cannot eat all the antelope, metaphorically speaking. We must learn balance before we can

learn peace.

The Pride Rock of the Future

By the end of the film, Pride Rock is once again beautiful and flourishing. Like the

lessons we can take from this movie, it stands the test of time and continues on as a

symbol of strength for future generations.

Brothers Will and Matt devised the BeetleCam in 2009 in order to get close-up photos of

African wildlife. It is essentially a remote-controlled car with a DSLR mounted to the top.

But after an unfortunate encounter with a lion, it was clear the BeetleCam needed to be

armored up. After a few design tweaks, this new version of the BeetleCam is just what the

brothers had hoped for, and they took it back out to try it with lions -- and this time

they were able to capture winning images.

Will Burrard-Lucas states, "I have now created a 3rd generation of BeetleCam which has

evolved to take into account our experiences from previous trips."

The newest iteration of the BeetleCam can be equipped with flashes, the top can adjust

remotely to move the angle of the camera, and you can even zoom or use liveview from a

distance.

As for the lions, they provide a bit of adventure as they're modeling for photos. Burrard-

Lucas states of a run-in with four cubs, "They intuitively recognised the front of

BeetleCam and would try to circle around to attack it from behind. They also grew bolder

whenever BeetleCam retreated, swiping at it with their oversized paws. We were just getting

the hang of this new game when disaster struck; BeetleCam’s front left wheel hadn’t been

tightened properly and it worked its way off! The cubs instantly seemed to recognise that

the buggy was in distress and they closed in...The cubs ran off with it and proceeded to

have a highly raucous game as they tried to steal it off each other. We had to wait for

over an hour and a half before we were finally able to retrieve the saliva-sodden tire! To

our amazement, it had a few punctures but was otherwise undamaged. We slotted it back onto

BeetleCam and we were ready to go again!"

"Over the course of the next few days, we were able to gain new understanding and respect

for the lions we were photographing. We were always mindful that we didn’t want to harass

them or intrude on their lives. However, we came to appreciate that lions are incredibly

curious cats and full of the bravado that comes from being the Masai Mara’s top predator.

This resulted in plenty more raucous games with the youngsters and some wonderful

encounters with older individuals, who treated BeetleCam with nonchalant disdain,

deliberately ignoring it as it manoeuvred around them," says Burrard-Lucas.

It's a great way to show how a little high-tech tool can be a win-win situation for humans

and animals -- we can see some of the most incredible images of wild animals from ground-

level angles, and we can do so without disturbing the animals (or just giving them a

temporary toy...). It's a fantastic tool for conservation photographers who want to keep

space between themselves and their subjects.
