Description And Comments
This playful yet educational film, starring Pumbaa, Simba, and Timon, from Disney's animated feature The Lion King, spotlights the environmental interdependency of all creatures, demonstrating how easily the ecological balance can be upset. The message is sobering, but one that enlightens. A reader e-mailed us this comment:
The Circle of Life is somewhat hypocritical. Simba berates Timon and Pumbaa because they don't understand the ecological impact of putting up a resort. Hello-am I missing something, or didn't Disney do just that?
Touring Tips
- Open for Evening Extra Magic Hours.
Every visitor should see this film, which takes place in a theater accessible from the upper level of the Land Pavilion. To stay ahead of the crowd, see it in late afternoon. Long lines usually occur at mealtimes.
