Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies (view source)
Revision as of 02:28, December 5, 2017
, 02:28, December 5, 2017→Animated films: Adding this note, especially when the Pocahontas entry in Worst Liberal Movies noted this bit as well.
There is a slight condemnation towards anarchy in the film as well: during the song "Be Prepared", the hyena Shenzi, upon learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, entertains the possibility of a kingless society before Scar sternly tells the laughing hyenas that he intends to be the king. Finally, the film condemns hedonism, as the misfit meerkat and warthog comic reliefs Timon and Pumbaa, while depicted as genuinely heroic at times, engage in a philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" ("No Worries" in Swahili), which is shown overall to be negative.

In addition, the film proved to be a massive runaway hit despite having a completely new production team working on it due to then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg believing it to end up a flop due to it featuring "talking animals" while he thought the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'', which he helmed with the usual production team, would be the financial hit and Oscar winner (in reality, ''Pocahontas'' got mixed reviews and did fairly badly at the box office).
The movie spawned two direct-to-video sequels and two TV series, as well as a broadway musical that retained much of the same themes as the movie.
