Margaret Lazarus’ essay All’s Not well in Land of the Lion King details her opinion in the classic Disney movie. She states how she believes the movie is racist, sexist, and anti-gay.

En-gerr showed his endowment gift of truism when he called truce with the lion he endured to kill, El Asfar. It was down by the foothills where seven fearless lions roamed the land, and En-gerr stood proudly in front of the beast when he said, “It is peace, chieftain….You are my first lion, and it is peace between us.
The Lion’s Characteristic “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgement that something else is more important”- Ambrose Redmoon. There are many displays of courage in the military and other jobs such as firemen, police officers.
