The lion king shows empathy through the characters’ emotions and how they connect to one another... empathy is being able to feel how someone else feels; not just in a sympathetic way but even second-hand embarrassment can be an example of empathy. So when they meet Simba, the “Hakuna-matata” is all about how they can sympathize with him and his situation— even though he’s a lion. He later sympathizes with his friend when she comes to get him, and this makes him realize how much his family needs him, which causes him to return. Most compassion shown in Lion King is a result of one character putting themselves in another’s shoes and empathizing with them.

Answer:

Simba is highly empathic - when Pumbaa is attacked by Nala, Simba saves him by rescuing his own life. Finally, Simba demonstrates a lot of commitment in his communication.
