Lion King coloring pages are featuring Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Mufasa, Nala, Scar, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, Rafiki, Zazu, Sarabi, Sarafina and other characters from Disney's Lion King animated film.
In a world where lions can talk, meerkats philosophize and warthogs… well, warthogs whatever it is they do, The Lion King sweeps through with all the subtlety of a stampeding wildebeest and the charm of a royal cub with a curious lack of concern for mortality. Young Simba, you see, has one of those terribly inconvenient destinies, the kind that involves growing up, taking responsibility and not letting evil uncles ruin everything. Naturally, his reaction is to run away, make a few bizarre friends and spend his formative years perfecting the fine art of doing nothing.
Responsibility, as it turns out, is a bit like a grumpy old lion who refuses to let you nap in peace—it always circles back. Simba eventually figures out that being king involves more than lounging in the sun and occasionally roaring impressively. With some timely advice from a baboon who hits first and asks questions later, our reluctant hero is dragged, kicking and metaphorically screaming, into the realization that leadership is more about showing up than shirking off. It's all very heartwarming, but one suspects Simba would still rather be eating grubs in the jungle with Timon and Pumbaa.
And speaking of the aforementioned duo, this film is also a love letter to friendship, preferably of the bizarre, life-saving variety. Timon and Pumbaa, bless them, teach Simba that sometimes the best advice is "Hakuna Matata" which roughly translates to "good luck with all that." But underneath the warthog snorts and meerkat antics is a message about loyalty and sticking around, even when your best mate is having an existential crisis over whether or not he should depose a tyrant and reclaim his birthright. Friendship, as it happens, is the real king here. Well, that and a catchy song or two.
