Rafiki a mandrill, a character embodying wisdom in Disney's The Lion King. This magnificent cartoon with its grandiose music has left its mark on all generations. It's the story of a destiny, it's the story of life. In the kingdom of the Land of Lions, the almighty king Mufasa is idolized by all animals for his wisdom and generosity. His son Simba is the heir to the throne and at the beginning of the film, all the animals come to meet him and celebrate the baptism of the young lion cub.In this famous scene, Rafiki, the king's adviser and great sorcerer advances towards the rock where the royal family is. He is greeted by a row of animals, who prostrate themselves as he passes by to show him their respect. He moves with a simian gait with his stick decorated with knotted fruits, which he always keeps close to him. After greeting King Mufasa, Rafiki blesses the young Simba by marking his forehead with the juice of a fruit and sprinkling it with sand. He then takes Simba to present him to all the subjects of the kingdom from the Lion Rock. The gazelles reared, the elephants barred, the monkeys shouted, all celebrated the birth of their future king.Simba is a mischievous and naive young lion cub who spends his time having fun with his girlfriend of the same age Nala. He is also looking for thrills, which doesn't make it easy for his tutor Zazu, who is also in charge of taking care of him. His recklessness will not last long, since his Machiavellian Uncle Scar has only one objective: to take the throne and eliminate King Mufasa. After trapping his nephew who is stuck on a branch in the middle of a herd of wildebeest, Scar betrays his brother who came to help Simba and kills him. The young Simba, pushed by his uncle, fled into the desert and eventually fainted.
