The real meaning of Hakuna Matata in The Lion King
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “Hakuna Matata” is one of the most iconic quotes – and songs – from The Lion King, but what does it actually mean? The Lion King is an animated homage to Hamlet set in the animal kingdom. The story revolves around a lion cub named Simba who flees into the jungle when his evil uncle Scar kills his father Mufasa to usurp his throne as the King of the Pride Lands.
The Lion King remains one of the most beloved and acclaimed films from the Disney Renaissance era. The movie is full of iconic songs composed by Elton John and memorable lines of dialogue that fans still quote to this day. “Hakuna Matata” is a rare example of both: it’s a memorable quote from the film, and it’s also the title of an iconic musical number. The phrase is taught to Simba by outcasts Timon and Pumbaa, with whom he grows up in the jungle.
How The Lion King Popularized "Hakuna Matata" The Lion King’s use of “hakuna matata” brought the phrase an unexpected international recognition. Ever since Disney featured the phrase “hakuna matata” in The Lion King and made it the focal point of a classic song, the phrase has achieved prominence and popularity in the Western world. In the movie, Timon and Pumbaa use the phrase – and the song named after it – to teach Simba to let go of his dark past and live in the present.
The song frequently plays at Disney’s resorts, hotels, and theme parks, and has become synonymous with the studio’s family-friendly corporate brand. The Mouse House’s attempt to trademark the phrase was met with backlash for its alleged cultural appropriation. “Hakuna Matata” received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 1995 Academy Awards, and later earned the 99th spot on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest songs ever featured in movies.
