About Us

We are a group of students that find interest towards the concept of reviewing movies that we find interesting as a collective. Each week there will be a movie that the group will decide on as to write about. For each movie that we review, we have decided to cover five aspects that illustrates the overall plot, the character personalities and development, the setting that is taken place, the production process that went into making the movie, and the events that led to the movie's concept.
In more identified terms; we will be discussing about the plot, the characters, the setting, the production, and the history.

The team consists of five authors, which includes the following contributors: Colin Sik, Elline Guerrero, Gamuchirai Mudzitikiri, Max Selby, and Tinashe Majuru-Nyarusara.

The Lion King takes place in Tanzania; a republic that is located in eastern Africa. Some of the environmental landscapes that were depicted within the movie were inspired from different areas that can be found within Tanzania. The Pride Rock which can be seen at the start of the movie and also in-between was served as the central location of The Lion King universe. The setting was conceptualised from the idea of how the Pope were to greet his people within the Vatican. . Olduvai Gorge; a paleoanthropological site that is located to the east of the Serengeti Plain of Tanzania was the environmental focus point towards the scene of where the wildebeest stampede was occurring as well as the death of King Mufasa. However other scenes throughout the movie such as the jungle where Timon and Pumba resides, the elephant graveyard, and the watering hole, etc, were not based on any environmental surroundings that can be found throughout Tanzania.
