Сюжет: В Африке у Короля-Льва рождается львенок, который после смерти отца – короля Муфаса должен взойти на престол вместо своего дяди Скара. Скар, управляемый гневом и жаждой мести, строит заговор и с помощью гиен убивает Муфаса, но Симба выживает и бежит с земель прайда, думая, что это именно он стал причиной гибели отца.
Он решает больше никогда не возвращаться домой, и после этого находит новых друзей – мирката Тимона и кабана Пумбу. Симба остается с ними до своего взросления, когда друг его детства, Нала, находит его и умоляет вернуться в прайд, где за время правления Скара все превратилось в руины. Если Симба не вернется, всем жителям грозит голодная смерть…

One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king. | [ə kɪŋz taɪm æz ˈruːlə ˈraɪzɪz ənd fɔːlz laɪk ðə sʌn wʌn deɪ sɪmbə ðə sʌn wɪl set ɒn maɪ taɪm hɪə ənd wɪl raɪz wɪð jʊ æz ðə njuː kɪŋ] | — Время правления короля восходит и заходит, как солнце. В один прекрасный день, Симба, зайдет солнце и над моей властью, и взойдет твое солнце нового короля. |
— And this'll all be mine?
— Everything. — Everything the light touches. |
[ənd ðɪsl ɔːl biː maɪn]

— «Король-Лев» — самое популярный фильм по количеству копий, купленных для домашнего просмотра в мире (на сегодняшний день продано более 55 миллионов копий).
— Первоначальное название фильма было «Король джунглей», это должен был быть фильм об африканских львах, живущих в джунглях, но затем съемочная группа узнала, что львы не живут в джунглях…
— Несколько диснеевских мультипликаторов отправились в Африку для изучения поведения животных и их взаимодействия в природе. Также в съемочную студию были привезены лев и львенок, которые служили образцами при моделировании анатомии и мускулатуры львов.
— Сюжетная линия фильма напоминает мотив «Гамлета» Шекспира — истории молодого принца, дядя которого возглавляет королевство и женится на королеве после убийства короля — отца принца. После нахождения вдали от дома в течение определенного периода времени, принц возвращается домой для мести. В обеих историях дети получают советы от духов своих отцов

Здесь мы делимся своими впечатлениями и мыслями по данному фильму. Ответ должен быть на английском. Если затрудняетесь с формулировкой своих мыслей по-английски, можете воспользоваться Гугл транслэйт .
How should parents bring up and educate their children so that they become leaders in their own “pride” when they grow up in spite all the possible obstacles they may face?
(Каким образом родители должны воспитывать своих детей, чтобы они становились лидерами в своей собственной «стае», несмотря ни на какие препятствия? )
Oh, difficult question... I don't have children and I have never interested in psychology of upbringing. But I suppose at first parents should explain to their kid that he/she deserves being a leader in his/her 'pride'. And the best way to teach the child is to show your own example. If parents are failures they won't bring up a good leader. Of course a child can find another person for example or hard live conditions make him/her stronger then other people around, but such leader would be tyrannical and cruel, because parents' role is very important for growing child.
It seems to me that bringing up a child is a very complicated task. As for me I wouldn't like to bring up my child to make him a leader. I just want him to become mature and smart enough to make and response for his own decisions. If he wants to be a leader he will. If he wants to be happy he will be. I think my task as a parent is to teach him to define what actually he needs by himself. I want him to know what is eternal truth and what is temporary.But finally choice will be making by child. I hope that I'll cope with such uneasy task =))
Being a leader is not the most important quality in upbringing. Very often leaders to achieve their aims became cruel and unjust, sometimes even destroy human lifes. And this price may be too high.
I thing еach family must choose their methods raising a child. The main thing to reveal the qualities such as love, support, respect, good manners. All these qualities someday will bring a good result-first of all respect at work, with family, friends.
Of course we should not forget that in any group should demonstrate good side, but not as a namby-pamby, but as a confident person.
We should remember that our childrens are individuals, and we must respect their decision any matter how senseless it may seem to us. We can always help them with advice but do not blame.
Нello!
It's very difficult quiestion for me. Frankly, I don't know how shoud bring up children for that. I think, parents should love their children, but do it fairly. In my opinion, all problems of a man grow up from his childhood. And if the man is erresolut or not sure of his strength, may be he wasn't loved by his parents enough.
Sometimes parents have ideal of behaviour between different historical heroes. In this way children should acquaint with these heroes. And they can understand, how they shouldl look like.
It's my recipe — love and examples. And it's passible, you 'll grow up the leader of your «pride». But, may be I'm not right, because I've not such experience in my life.
Good question but difficult. So I do not know the answer. Also I even don't know how to bring up my children. Hopefully I'll learn it when I'll become a mother.
I want them to be smart and purposeful. I want them to know who they want to be and what do they want to do. It's important to have a purpose in own life. Moving toward the purpose is easier with the support of relatives. A man belives in himself when someone else does either. But as a parent I should educate a confidence in our child. If he doesn't want to do something no one will do it instead of him. Oh, how is difficult the bringing up the children!
But I know one thing. I'll watch «The Lion King» with my children.
Education of children it's very important and delicate subject. I have no children yet, so it's doubly difficult to answer your question for me. But I'll try
I'm certain, that each child needs personal approach. Of course parents must communicate with their children, inspire them some values but I suppose that the best education it's his own e[ample.
It's very important also not to restrict a child. He should have his own opinion and his own choice. My parents did (and do) like this and I really appreciate it!
It's difficult to aswer this question before you gave birth and rased a few children. Although I'll try. The basic knowledge that makes human a human is respect to each other. This is what makes it possible for so many different creatures to co-exist. Its what any parent has to put into child's mind. Tis is the quality enabling your child to be a leader and not a despot or an exploiter. other important qualities you need to develop in your little future leader's character are responsibility, endurance (moral and physical), ability to work hard and to do what they are afraid to do. And of course love. Without parents' love it's so difficult to develop a healthy personality.
And surely there's always desire of a person we have to take into consideration. No leader can be created without it.
When i hear about «the great circle of life» I remember joke about two cowboys and question «What is the great circle of life»
yes, this is absolutely right — we're all connected. such an excellent motto for Greenpeace and simiar organization.
a really great movie both because of the technical quality and substance. it's very educative for both children and adults.
I suppose be a leader be succesful is not such simple and usefull thing.It is takes a lot of time and responsibility and always the person lose something.My child when he grown up will be able to choose the way of leader if he want.Literally with the first steps of an own child the parents need to bring up a love to God and people,care of the family,be kind,honest,brave,responsible,patient and graceful for whatever he got in his life.Then he solve all difficult situitions and obstacles.I think this way of bringing is the best and right.
I think we need to bring is not the leader / actor / model / policy / someone else, but simply human. And then the heart help. Just listen and hear what intuition say and agree with her, if it is not contrary to mind.
And for the leadership skills needed to engage in child development: to surround his by the people, so he will not afraid of them, and to develop his independence. To submit your own example. And then people will grow in the golden
wow) It's my favorite movie in my childhood. I'm again and again looking it and i'm be very happy. well, lion king taught me many things. very nice... I like it came back to my childhood in their воспоминаниях. thank you
First of all parents shouldn't impose to the child their point of view and the sight at the world. It concerns also leaderships. Parents should teach to the child to hold blow, to be guided in any conditions and any society, not to be afraid of difficulties, not to recede from the planned purpose. And the child himself will solve, how he will use this knowledge. Perhaps, he will want begin the leader or maybe he will direct all energies to opening of the new law of physics. Its his business. The main thing to prepare the person for life, the rest is his business.
Education is very complicated thing. I guess, firstly parents need to decide if they want their child to become one of the leaders around others And if they really want it, they have to give more freedom to their child, trying to be the best parents by showing the good examples of their own lives. And when the child grows up they shouldn't bring the creativity of their child down but they must be careful to not make him egoistical person.
Well, it's a difficult question for specialists I think
I think that the main problem of present upbringing is a deficit of parents' attention. We have to spend more time with our children, to explain them all things around them, to answer their questions. After that kid will know what is good and what is bad. And then they could do their own right choice if they be a leaders, presidents or other good people.
To my mind, it is a typical reaction of parents to bring up a child so that it grew up much better than the parents are. And it is as always the desire of parents to give the child the best they can. And besides, they forget that a child has come to the Earth with its mission. It is definitely good to be a leader of a «pride», but is this really necessary for each child? I can understand if it is caused by some kind of social status, as in this cartoon. But this is not what all children need. Much more important is, in my opinion, to impart to the child the qualities of character such as justice, truth, love, respect to each other, ability to defend their opinion, the ability to listen to others, to distinguish between good and evil, to be sincere to the other, and first of all to themselves. Then the groun man will hear his true recesses of the soul, and not imposed by someone. The main task of parents, to send a child in the right direction, to give a broad education, to maintain it and must be aware of the communicative environment of the child and of course to do it with love. Then a man will be aware of his uniqueness and if it will be necessary he would be a leader of his «pride».
Good day.
At the beginning let me confess his love for this wonderful cartoon. This is one of the few cartoons that can be reviewed many times.
The question in this passage is rather complicated. And I think it would not be a simple answer. I think that parents need to be as honest with the children. Surround them with care, attention and love. At the same time try not to spoil much of their sometimes be srogimi, but also be able to make concessions. And it's not every adult would do.
I also want to say thank you for this passage. Very pleased with)))
Lion King is one of my favorite cartoons. Adult and child will be interesting to see him. What can I do the child has grown a leader?Firstly of all parents should to teach the childhood the child to be independent. Secondly it is important to be sensitive to the opinion of the child, to listen to him and to consider when making decisions. Thirdly, I think the child should be in some cases himself decide and take responsibility for them. Then there are all chances to instill in him a leader.
There's another question, should parents educate their children to become leaders or not? I think parents should train their self confidence, but it's maybe because I afflicted with diffidence
Children should be spoilt for choice, and they must realize that. You can do what you like, but you must fully aware consequences of your activities.
But if you grimly determined to bring up your child as leader, teach him to be better. Better than himself yesterday.
I've seen this cartoon for lots of times, even in English. And no doubt I enjoyed every minute of it. Perfectly done. Thank you very much for showing the episode from it.
It's so hard to give any piece of advice as to how to bring up the children. You may be a happy parent and the grown up kids may become successful in business, may become smart leaders and the relations with the children could be perfect but one day (not a lucky one) everything may change in a moment. No mutual understanding, no leadership in business, problems in their private lives. And who knows who is to blame! That.s why unfortunately I personally can't give any useful advice.
Love and support. That's the answer to your question))) I think parents should love their children and make them understand, that there's nothing impossible in this world, that thei can achieve a lot if they try and work hard. But I dont think, that this question is connected to the episode we've watched. The main idea there — in words «we all connected in a great circle of life». The wise person (leader or not) should understand the value of every creature on earth and try not to ruin the balance. In other words, do as you would be done by.
If i think about bringing up my daughter, i am not sure i wont to bring up a leader, but a self-confident, successful person, a good mixer any way. What i do for it? I love her,and make her knowing it, try to suppot her and not to dominate. My own example is very importante. Will see... Future will show us, if i am right or not (but of couse i am
I don't think it's necessary — be a leader in each group, in each situation. Some children are calm & shy, and make a leader from them is violence to soul. My opinion, that every person found his way and his place in this world And not always, that's the head of a group's place!
I am too young to answer this question. But I went to some trainings that teach you how become a leader. And thats what I remember from it: you should be sociable, communicative, reliable, confident person with some orator skill. So I think you should develop this skills in your child.
HI,MARAT! IT`S A DIFFICULT QUESTION FOR ME.BESIDES,I DON`T THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE A LEADER.TO BRING UP A HAPPY PERSON-THAT WHAT I THINK IS VERY DESIRABLE! THANK YOU, MARAT!!!
That the child has grown a leader, you need to create aprosperous atmosphere. This environment includes the love of parents, but not excessively, care must be with the child friend than a mentor. It is important to teach children self-reliance, responsibility and prepare them for the difficulties of life. it is very important to be surrounded by his peers.
To bring up a child is the most important and the most difficult thing in the life of every person. It goes without saying that many parents wants to see their child as a leader. But I think that to be a leader can't be the goal of one's life. First of all we should think that our children can deal with diffrent people and keep their heads in various situations. And secondly it's so remarkable when fathers take part in upbringing their children, very actively! I"m always very touched when I see in real life such scenes, father and son are discussing different questions.
It's very difficult question for me. There are many literatures about this. But the main for a child is full family in love.
Dear u-can!
If I say that it is very difficult to bring up children it would not be something new. So I have to say that it is very important to find a necessary strategy in upbringing. If you would be too severe a child will become gloomy. If you would be too soft you might have a spoilt one. So you should devout a lot of time to a child in order to bring up a good person. But I don’t agree with others that leadership is not very important. I think that to be a leader means to have ability in acting bravely and independently. It means to have your own opinion and possibility to live in your own way. To be a leader means a skill to obtain what you want. So it is a way to happiness.
Best wishes,
To my opinion parents have to let their children to choose their ways by themself! Sometimes parents don't let their child do what he/she wants...But there are two sides of medal ...On the one side-they don't do the right,but on the another side-when you are young you cannot understand what is right and what is wrong...If i have my own child in the future,i shall let he/she to go on his/her own way...I just sometimes will tell them my opinions and desires...There will be their life...
And if you want to your children become leaders,you have to teach it your children since childhood,but don't leave your child without chilhood...
Anyway you have to suppor your children whatever they want to do...
I think parents should also find a balance while raising up and educating a kid. If they are over protective their kid may never become a leader. If they give a child too much freedom he can become not only a leader but a dictator.
This is the best cartoon film, it's return you to the childhood.
Reviewing this cartoon from year to year and always a soul filled with light and goodness!
It's a very philosophic fragment because the king tells his child about life and problems that he need to solve.If you are a king you must be responsible for everybody.You must understand that everything in our world exists together in a delicate balance and respect all the creatures.I adore these words and will see this cartoon again and again.
It's a very nice cartoon. But I must confess to not watching it to the end. Or, perhaps, I just don't remember if I ever saw it. That's why I can't discuss this topic. It's high time to see it again.
It was interesting to find out that the movie has a common plotline with a Shakespeare's «Hamlet».
As to the very lesson, I like it too. And I'd like to oder it but to my regret I haven't got such opportunity now.
And I want to express my gratitude to you.
I think that children must know they'll be leaders of the pride in the future, but also to have a model of ideal leader and try to be the same. I mean they have to think about all members of the pride, be intelligent, kind. but justice, friendly and really loving what they do.
I thinq that it is cartoon the interestinq, movinq and very beautiful cartoon. Lion king it is my lovinq catoonя I thinq , that parents need to teach the child skill to protect yourself and to have an opinion
