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?
