Le Roi Lion

Balancing engaging storytelling with age-appropriate content can be tricky. I wonder what inspired the choices to make this accessible yet thrilling for children.

The characters seem to embody familiar traits—like the brave lion, wise mentor, and mischievous sidekick. Did others see these familiar patterns, or am I reading too much into it?

Transforming a well-known animated film into a picture book must involve interesting creative choices. I'm curious how the author approached capturing the film's magic in such a condensed format.
