"It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!"*
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! Brenda Chapman, the story
head for the movie 'The Lion King', first heard the Swahili phrase
which means "no worries" when she traveled to Kenya in 1991. This
became the motto of 'The Lion King's' two clowns, Timon and Pumbaa.
These two hilarious hedonists live outside the Circle of Life. "No
worries" also means no responsibilities. As fun as Timon and Pumbaa
are, their existence in the jungle is without meaning. They live
only for the satisfaction of the moment, without a past or a future.
"Hakuna Matata" is an easy escape. Simba must leave the life of "no
worries" and grow up.
