The Learning Guide to The Lion King shows parents and teachers how to:    (1) introduce the interdependence of animals living together in an ecosystem, the food chain, and various animals of Africa, such as lions, hyenas, wildebeests, warthogs, and meerkats; and (2) stress the movie's beneficial lessons in obedience, truthfulness, not running away, and taking responsibility. In addition, using a scene from the film as an example, it will help teachers and parents show children how to identify and report sexual abuse or other attempts by adults to isolate and manipulate them.

PARENTS: Watch the movie with your children and briefly talk about its message. Often, just one or two comments will make the film a meaningful experience. Your family will grow closer as all of you learn about history, culture and people. You will gain some positive control over screen time.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out a paragraph from the Learning Guide to The Lion King.

For some, the message of the film may be overpowered by the infectious musical numbers in the "hakuna matata" scenes ("you won't get hurt if you don't care about anything therefore to avoid being hurt, don't care about anything") and the alluring personalities of Timon (the meerkat character) and Pumbaa (the warthog character). After the movie is over, adults should point out that by the end of the film, not only Simba but also Timon and Pumbaa, reject "hakuna matata" in favor of involvement. When Simba returns to face Scar and the hyenas, Timon and Pumbaa help him out.

The Learning Guide to The Lion King also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
