When talking about animated films, I think nothing can surpass the position of Disney's animation in the hearts of the audience. Since Disney launched its first animated film, it has brought us countless classics. Nowadays, the cartoon characters that young children love are basically from the characters in the cartoons published by Disney. It can be said that Disney's animated films have influenced the growth of generations.
If you want to choose one of the best animated films published by Disney, you can't choose it. Because everyone feels and evaluates the same movie differently. However, if any work has the most far-reaching influence and significance on Disney, then I think it should be The Lion King.
Most movies published by Disney have a characteristic of being very warm. Telling a story will bring a lot of warmth and emotion to the audience. And this "The Lion King" has always been a classic that makes the brothers feel the deepest. At the same time, the film's achievements are also remarkable. In 1994, The Lion King was released in the United States and set a box office record of $987 million in animated films around the world.
This record was not broken until Toy Story was released in 21, which shows how powerful it is. "The Lion King" was released in China in July 1995, one year after it was released in the United States. At that time, it made a huge box office of 41 million. We should know what a concept it was that an animated film could make more than 4 million box office in the mainland more than 2 years ago, which was simply the explosion in the explosion movie.
The influence of The Lion King on Disney can be called a milestone. Because of its appearance, many viewers began to pay attention to Disney movies and became loyal viewers of Disney movies. To this day, the classic of The Lion King remains deeply in the hearts of countless audiences. Different from many other excellent Disney films, The Lion King is not only about family, friendship or love, but also expresses a spirit of not giving up easily and a positive attitude towards life.
Later, The Lion King was adapted into a musical, which became a worldwide hit after it was released on Broadway in 1997. Then this musical became the king's work on Broadway.
When I was young, I naively thought that cartoons were only for children, and there should be no cartoons in adults' world. But after really understanding the meaning conveyed by The Lion King, Brother Gang finally understood that cartoons are not exclusive to children at all, because good animation works also have far-reaching influence on adults. The appearance of The Lion King not only made a brand-new breakthrough in Disney animated films, but also marked a new step for Disney.
from music to feelings, why is The Lion King enduring?
The reason why The Lion King is enduring is that the story of the Lion King, no matter how it changes, will not be out of touch with the times. The Lion King is popular because of feelings and great feelings. There are many other reasons, all of which are in line with the times. They are the humanistic feelings and philosophical thinking of the story itself. Friends who like to watch the Lion King include children and adults, so the audience of the Lion King is many, which is also the reason why the Lion King is popular no matter how it changes.
first, the content of the lion king is not superficial, and it has enough depth and thickness, so it is enduring. The story of the lion king is not only suitable for children, but also literary and entertaining, and it is worth tasting to see an adult story. Moreover, the music part of the Lion King is also very appreciated, all of which are famous music fragments. The lion king is endless, and it has a lot to do with music. It is completely like artistic creation, which is the result of the cooperation of many famous composers.
second, the story of the lion king is very valuable, even if it is brought into reality, it is also very important, so it is endless and enduring. This story is very much like Hamlet, and it is a great story. Because the characters are all animals, it is relatively simple. This cartoon has built human society into several very simple things. The story is very simple, but it is very powerful. We can find * * * everywhere. Simple stories are often the most powerful. Moreover, the greatest value of this film is the development of original stories, with many derivatives and plots that are more in line with children's tastes. Moreover, the musical of the Lion King is also very famous, which has been highly affirmed by many musicians.

Music introduction of the animated film The Lion King
The classic musical The Lion King will be staged at the Shanghai Grand Theatre from July to October this year, and China will become the world's leading musical. This musical is based on the animated film The Lion King shot by Disney Company, and many elements in the musical come from the animated film The Lion King. Therefore, understanding and appreciating the music of the cartoon "The Lion King" is of great help to appreciate the musical "The Lion King".
(1) "Opening Music" started with an African-style cry, which led to a passionate theme song-male solo "Endless Life" under the harmony accompaniment of African dialect. It was sung by elton john himself. The melody of the song is beautiful, and it contains lyricism in the passionate mood. The band is made by digital technology, basically without conventional instruments, but it uses a huge chorus, so it looks magnificent. The opening picture shows that Mufasa, the lion king, and Sarabi, the queen, gave birth to the little prince Simba on the African prairie. Rafiki, an old baboon wizard, picked up the fine sand and sprinkled it on Simba's head, then held the little prince high, and all the animals cheered. It embodies a profound philosophy: the cycle of life, the ups and downs of everything, but life is endless forever. Music is in perfect harmony with pictures, which is the expression of "synchronization of sound and picture" in film music.
(2 In the following 4 minutes and 3 seconds, the music material is Glorious Land. The form and style of playing here have changed greatly. First, a flute solo, soft melody with the picture turned to the rainy season. Suddenly, the chorus joined in, and the strong chorus tone matched the lightning and thunder that appeared on the screen. Then the flute solo appeared again, and the mood turned lively. Simba jumped on his parents playfully. Then the strings played a lyrical melody, which set off Mufasa's conversation with Simba. From the beginning to this point, this piece of music is written in the style of an orchestra. Shazu, the hornbill, flew in. He came to Mufasa to give a morning report, and the music turned to the style of rock music. Shazu sang a song, and the melody material and singing style of this song absorbed various elements of recitation in American rock music, which showed Shazu's cheerful and humorous personality to the fullest. The whole piece of music finally ended with a strong solo by black female singer Tim Rice.
(3) Simba wants to explore the distant cemetery of great scenic spots. He comes to his partner Nana's residence and wants to invite her with him. Simba and Nana's mother agreed to Simba's request, but they didn't trust the safety of their two children and asked Shazu to accompany them. On the way, Simba sang When I Grow Up to Be King. This song has a long introduction, and the melody is very lively. It is played by flute and describes Simba's naughty. The melody of the whole song is with the style of rock music, which is relaxed and interesting. When Simba sings, Shazu's recitation style is added. Finally, many animals joined together, and the solo was transformed into a chorus, ending the whole song at the climax of the chorus. There is a great contrast between this kind of singing and performance. Shazu's singing contains both the elements of American black rock music recitation and the elements of recitation in opera.
(4 Simba and Nana came to the elephant's graveyard, and the danger came at once. Three fierce hyenas are waiting for them. The hyenas are instructed by the lion peeping at the throne and scar, Simba's uncle, to kill Simba. Hyenas chased Simba and Nana closely. Shazu was unfortunately caught by hyenas, and Simba and Nana were also cornered. Suddenly Mufasa, the lion king, appeared, the hyena escaped, and Simba, Nana and Shazu were saved. Music begins with a horrible atmosphere. This horrible piece of music is produced by electronic synthesizer with digital technology. Modern music production tools make the horrible atmosphere more prominent. The performance of the symphony orchestra turned the music into a tense atmosphere, and this piece of music used the writing technique of the "expansion part" in the symphony. Trombone plays melody in the bass zone, strings play fast and fixed patterns in the treble zone, and the mood of music is promoted layer by layer, which completely shows the critical atmosphere. It is the perfect combination of modern electronic music and traditional symphony music.
(5) On a quiet night, father and son look up at the stars in the sky. Mufasa gently said to Simba, "Look at the twinkling stars in the night sky, they are the dead kings. One day, I will also go there, but I will always look down on you and guide you in the direction of life. " Against the screen is the theme music "Glory to the Earth" which runs through the whole film. At first, the strings appeared gently in the bass area, and the melancholy mood expressed Mufasa's care and concern for his son, and also predicted that Simba's future would encounter hardships. The music fluctuated greatly, suddenly reaching a climax and then turning sharply, expressing the fate of Simba's ups and downs in the future.
(6 Scar and hyenas conspire to usurp the throne and murder Mufasa. Scar started her dream of being a king and sang the song "Get Ready". This song is composed of male solo and chorus, and the male solo part completely uses the writing technique of recitative in opera. However, the configuration and texture of the band is a rock band, with a kind of arrogance and wildness, which is consistent with the sinister and fierce image of Scar. Especially when Scar was reviewing hyenas, the chorus sang a March against the rhythm of rock music. This kind of music processing is very novel, with both modern flavor and classical charm.
(7) Tragedy finally happened, and Simba came to a valley under the lure of Scar. Then Scar instructed three hyenas to chase the wildebeest. In a flash, the earth trembled, and hundreds of wildebeests ran towards Simba like a flood. Fortunately, Mufasa arrived in time and rescued Simba, but he himself was trapped in the valley by wildebeests. Mufasa struggled to climb and hold on to a rock. Suddenly a scar appeared on the rock, and Mufasa asked for help, but the sinister scar said coldly, "Long live the king!" " Then he pushed Mufasa down the valley. The music of this scene is first created by the electronic synthesizer to create a horrible and quiet atmosphere, which indicates that the disaster is coming. When the wildebeest ran towards Simba like a flood, the symphony orchestra, the electro-acoustic band and the chorus were intertwined. Under the contrast of percussion music dominated by jazz drums, this mixed band of reality and tradition fully expressed the tension on the screen.
(8 Simba found his father's body, and he was sad and afraid, thinking that he had killed his father. Scar with ulterior motives urged Simba to escape, and then ordered three hyenas to hunt Simba down. Simba escaped under the cover of thorns. The beginning of this piece of music is a variation of the theme music "Glorious Earth". At this time, it has been changed into a slow funeral March, which is performed softly by stringed instruments and chorus. Suddenly, the speed and image of the music changed into a fast allegro, and the tense scene of hyenas chasing Simba was rendered extremely well under the performance of the symphony orchestra, and the music contrast was very great.
(9) At the time of crisis, Simba was rescued by two kind friends Timon the mongoose and Pumbaa the African wild boar. Timon and Pumbaa advised Simba to be carefree about life, not to think about the past or the future, and not to have a sense of responsibility, but to pursue a negative philosophy of living for today. They sang the song hakula Matata. The music and performance of this song completely draw lessons from the form of song and dance scenes in American musicals, that is, singing, reading and performance are integrated. The rhythm and style of music come from rock music, and recitation like recitation makes music humorous and lively, showing a carefree attitude towards life.
(1 nights, Simba, Timon and Pumbaa lie on the grass and look at the starry sky and talk. Suddenly, Simba remembered his father's words: "Look at the twinkling stars in the night sky, they are the dead kings. One day, I will also go there, but I will always look down on you and guide you in the direction of life. " At this time, Simba was very sad. He walked to the cliff alone and sighed at the sky. This piece of music is based on the theme music "Glory to the Earth". Woodwind instruments are playing gently, and strings are gradually added, which describes Simba's mood at the moment.
(11 One day, Pumbaa was attacked by a lioness who had been hungry for several days, and Simba fought with the lioness desperately. Suddenly, he found that the lioness was actually her childhood friend Nana. To match the picture, the processing of music is very dramatic. At the beginning of the music, the orchestration is relatively light, and the mood is light and sensitive. Basically, woodwind instruments are the main ones, closely matching the picture of Pumbaa catching insects. This is the symphony.
