Changes

The film opens with Mufasa (from The Lion King) saying, “All things exist together in a delicate balance and so, we must respect every living thing because we are all connected in the great circle of life”.

Transitioning back to live action, Simba tells the story about the evolution of human society. Although they started out small (living in communion with the circle of life), they eventually began to abuse the land. At this point in the attraction Hoover Dam is shown, and Timon and Pumbaa decide they need to plan bigger. After their brief interruption Simba continues his story, telling them that as human populations exploded they began to take up more and more of the land. As scenes from modern civilization are shown (including large scale farming, city life, skyscrapers and high rises), Timon and Pumbaa begin to get excited. Unfortunately, as Simba explains in order to maintain their new cities, humanity needed more power. At this point, clips of Las Vegas and mass transportation are shown and Simba notes that it is not always about "having more and more of everything".

As the film turns back into animation, Timon and Pumbaa are shown packing so that they can help humanity. Simba stops them and asks if they are forgetting something. After a moment, Timon says he understands what Simba is hinting at, that "making the world a better place, starts in your own back yard". After this realization Timon and Pumbaa undam the stream, and claim that they are going to create Hakuna Matata All Ecological Family Village Resort instead. At this Simba roars in approval and the Circle of Life begins to play again. The film then closes with another montage which shows humans living in harmony with animals, and the circle of life.
