Monday 8th JuneL.O. To write a summary of a story based on the Lion King

How well do you know the story?

Can you summarise the Lion King story?

Think about the main points.

A brief summary to helpThe Lion King takes place in the Pride Lands of Africa, where a lion rules over the other

animals as king. King Mufasa leads Rafiki to his mate Sarabi who is holding their newborn

cub. Rafiki anoints the cub before presenting him to the gathered animals. The animals

cheer and then bow to the new future king Simba. Simba grows up happily with his friend

Nala. He is desperate to go into the lands he rules over but his father tells him never to

go into the elephant graveyard. Simba's wicked uncle, Scar, plots to usurp Mufasa's

throne by luring father and son into a stampede of wildebeests. Mufasa is killed and

Simba escapes believing he is responsible for his father’s death (thanks to Scar).

Escaping to the desert, Simba has collapses under the heat and a group of vultures

descends on him. Suddenly, a meerkat and a warthog charge into them, bucking and

kicking them away as part of their favorite game; bowling for buzzards. The warthog,

Pumbaa , then discovers Simba and brings him to the attention of his meerkat companion,

Timon. Simba grows up with these two characters, meets up with Nala by chance

and returns as an adult to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends

Timon and Pumbaa.
