I saw many of these beliefs and lessons translated through the newly released “The Lion King” movie. Think it’s worth a watch if you’re into deep life messages…and awesome music.

Oh thank you, Imani! I love the lessons of the Lion King. It happens to be my best animation and I’ve watched it more than a hundred times. Each time is like my first time. Will never grow weary of it. I love the music and the great life lessons. Thanks once again for reading and leaving a comment.💖
