Kinetic Typography research














Who is singing?
Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba (all characters from The Lion King)

Why is this so important to society?
This song expresses the feeling that life should be relaxed, there are no worries. 

Why do you feel this is important or interesting?
I live my life to the motto of Hakuna Matata. I try not to worry so much about the past, and I really like to enjoy as much of I can out of life. If something goes wrong instead of obsessing over it I like to move on and enjoy the rest of the day. To me, this is one of the messages of this song. This movie is also one of my favorites. It is inspirational, and taught me many things, as a child and as an adult. 

What is the emotion, mood, tone, personality, feeling, of the song?
Energetic, relaxed, happy

What is the intonation, ephasis, what is loud, what is soft, what is stressed? 
The words "HAKUNA MATATA" and "NO WORRIES" should be emphasized the most, since it is the main theme of the song. 

Is there a call to action? When listening to it what are key words?
The words "HAKUNA MATATA" and "NO WORRIES" 

Could there be another interpretation?
No, the song is pretty straight forward. Timon and Pumbaa are teaching young Simba about their Hakuna Matata philosophy. 

Write a short bio or the person giving the speech.
Timon and Pumbaa are friends who are living in Africa. They come across Simba, the kings son, who ran away from home because of the death of his father. Timon and Pumbaa take him in and teach them all about their Hakuna Matata (no worries) philosophy, which Simba soon embraces.
