• Example Mufasa
• 1) Mufasa is statesmanlike, powerful and strong.
  He is wise and proud. He is a good father and an
  excellent role model to his son.
• 2)
• 3) The Disney version of Mufasa shows his mouth
  pointing down, masses of hair (which for some
  reason is bright orange) and a slightly raised
  eyebrow. The theatre version is a lot more
  natural in colour which is wood. It is
  symmetrical. The headdress is much more ornate.
• 4) It has the same very stern expression in the
  mouth, which is pointing down. The eyes have very
  strong brows, which are slightly furrowed which
  may suggest that he is a deep thinker

Rafiki-The Lion KingRafiki was one on the
main characters in the lion king. He was
effectively Simbas guardian in the film. He
presents Simba as a cub to the animal kingdom at
the beginning of the movie. Rafiki is a wise old
baboon, that gives samba advice on his destiny in
the movie. He is a lively and funny character.
3.) The similarities between the images are that
they are both very colourful, and will catch
peoples attention. The colours vary in blue,
brown, yellow, white and red. The costume has
tired to look as monkey like as possible, the
fingers made to look long and bony. Some of the
differences in the costume would be that the
theatre costume is overall more brown than blue,
whereas the Rafiki from the movie has blue
coloured skin.4.) The things Taymor has tired to
emphasise would be the colour on Rafikis face
they are rich colours and attract the audience
when he is talking during the play.

Rafiki

• Rafiki is a loveable, clever and future
  predicting monkey who assists Mufasa in all of
  his decisions and choices. He is harmless and
  helps out Simba whenever he can.

2)

• 3) Some similar things with these two characters
  are that their faces are really colourful and
  bright. One difference is that in the production
  his body is also colourful, however in the film
  he has a very dark and bland body.
• Two things that they have chosen to emphasise are
  the bright facial colours and the huge hands. The
  face is full of vibrant colours and the hands are
  much larger than average.

difference between animation and thearte
The difference between the theatre scar and the
animation scar is that the theatre mask looks
more serious, powerful and the same eyebrows
which is blended in. in the movie scar acts
better than the theatre scar. The colour of the
hair is different and they both have the scar in
the same place. From his blacked out and shaded
eyes they try to put across that this character
is scary and demanding and may be a leader of a
certain angry pack of other beasts. His is put
across as a big bully and killer for the big
claws and big boned body

The Hyenas Are silly , stupid and idiots.

• There are different similarities from the lion
  king. (animated) and (theatre) the animated is
  more child friendly as the theatre is more
  intimidating. The animated one is more fun and
  exciting for children and the theatre has more
  adrenalin and a unique style.
