Fun challenge! I've been meaning to scrap Lion King pics for a while and never was inspired. The info about the parade floats, below, inspired me to keep the focus on the nice pictures of the floats and animals and add minimal elements. Had it not been for the tidbit of info, I probably would have done lots of clusters and elements and the clusters probably would have fought with the pictures.
"Coincidentally, about the same time that this project got dropped in WDW's Entertainment's lap, Disneyland's "Lion King Celebration" was ending its nearly three year run at that theme park. And since the floats & puppets that Michael Curry had designed for this acclaimed street pageant were now due to go into storage to make way for Disneyland's next movie-based parade, the "Hercules Victory Tour" ... Well, WDW Entertainment requested that these elements of the "Lion King Celebration" be packed up and sent off to Central Florida ASAP.
And then - in an artful bit of recycling - those parade floats & puppets became the bones on which Disney World's Entertainment Department built one of the more popular shows to ever be performed at a Disney theme park, "Festival of the Lion King."
