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.
