The Lion King Opening Sequence
This is an animated, adventure and musical feature film about a young lion prince born in Africa.
The movie is mainly for children but can be enjoyed by the whole family.
The king of all lions, Mufasa has a baby called Simba. This greatly angers Mufasa's brother Scar, who would have been next in line to the throne. Scar plots to kill Simba and Mufasa, and leads them to a gorge. There Mufasa is killed by a herd of Wildebeest, and Simba is led to believe by Scar that he is responsible for his death. Simba then runs away, and Scar becomes king of the pride lands. After several years, in which time Simba has grown up, he returns with the help of some new friends to the pridelands, where he has a final battle with Scar and wins back the pride lands.
The film begins with the title of the movie and then the logo of Walt Disney Pictures.
The first shot we see is an extremely long shot of a sunrise to represent the birth of Simba. Shots of a lot of animals are then show because they now know that something important has happened. A bird’s eye view shot is created when flamingos are flying over the river. There is also a low angle shot of the blue bird looking up at Mufasa, this makes Mufasa in control of the situation.
