Lion King : Archetypes

Film Review: Lion King

Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey.

Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film.

Herald: Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost.

The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa.

Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators.

Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie.

Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main allies during the ultimate boon part of the hero's journey, when they go to confront scare.

Child: Pumbaa, is an innocent character in the movie, trusting his friends and not doing a lot to shake things up. He is also the one who wants to help Simba when he is found in the desert.

Maiden: Nala is the maiden archetype in the movie. The character who helps the hero and tries to bring the best out of him.

Shapeshifter: The Hyenas are a shapeshifter in the lion king as they are solely motivated by food and end up turning on Scar at the end of the movie.

I have learnt better ways of creating shots within Maya, as well as finding how important it is to understand how Arnold works and its time needed.

After many problems with the software i have also realised that saving my work may not always be the only option to keeping it safe and backing it up is important.
