Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 The Lion King]]'' opens with the song "Circle Of Life" playing over Rafiki lifting the newborn Simba in presentation to the animal kingdom. It was such a distinctive scene that it served as the teaser trailer for the film, and it has since turned into a [[StockParodies stock parody]] and [[StockShoutOuts stock shout-out]] in pop culture.

* In the [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]]-set Literature/{{Discworld}} fic 'Strandpiel'', Creator/AAPessimal works in an extended Lion King homage/parody where the Paramount Crown Princess of the Zulu Empire has to formally present her newborn son to her people. Her father, the undisputed Paramount King of the Empire, is at her side to see this is done right, and at a time of disputed and unclear succession, he names his grandson as the formal Heir.[[note]]As he knows he will be dead inside the year, this obliges his daughter Ruth to rule as Queen-Regent until her son is old enough.[[/note]]. Lion King parody duly abounds.
