The shaman of the savannah
Rafiki is a big ape and a relatively important character in the Disney animated film The Lion King. At the beginning of the movie, the queen gives birth to Simba, a young lion who will logically be the successor of his father. Rafiki is a kind of shaman or spiritual leader and it is therefore he who must baptize him and introduce him to the people of the savannah as their future king. Later when Simba runs away, thinking he is responsible for his father’s death, he goes to Rafiki who tries to make him understand that his mistake is in the past and that he must now take back his role and responsibilities.
