Disney's 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 stock parody and stock shout-out in pop culture. Humorous examples can include the lifted character getting dropped or thrown. The music accompanying the scene is usually an African Chant. One of The Newest Ones in the Book. |

The Simpsons: As "Itchy & Scratchy" partially parodies Disney animation, they had to spoof it in the episode "Girls Just Want To Have Sums", with the musical Stab-A-Lot: The Itchy & Scratchy Musical directly parodying the Broadway adaptation as depicted in the page image. | |

Parodied in the House of Mouse episode "King Larry Swings In". While preparing for the arrival of King Louie's twin brother, Mickey reminds Donald that he's had bad luck with royalty in the past; cut to a Flashback recreating Simba's presentation, with Donald holding the baby Simba... only to drop him. | |

The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police: In the fake Previously on… segment in the very first episode, the last of of the random flashbacks has Sam holding up Max on top of Pride Rock, beams of light shining through the clouds. Then the rock instantly snaps and falls out from under them, taking them with it. The flashback before that has them both riding an angry, bucking warthog through the jungle, which might or might not be an intentional reference to Pumbaa. | |

One of the "Inter-Stitch-als" produced as promotional material for Lilo & Stitch replayed the sequence of Rafiki walking out onto Pride Rock and presenting Stitch instead of Simba. After Timon (or in an alternate version, a random warthog that's not Pumbaa) points out the switch Rafiki drops him and the gathered animals run away, leaving Stitch alone to attempt a roar. | |
