Todorov argued that there were five steps to a narrative story which can be applied to most 'mainstream' film narratives.
1) Initial EQUILIBRIUM (status quo)
2) The equilibrium is disrupted by an event (DISRUPTION)
3) There is a RECOGNITION of the disruption
4) An attempt to REPAIR the disruption
5) A return or REINSERTION of the new equilibrium
Applying Todorov's theory to The Lion King:
Equilibrium: Mufasa is King of the pride and the other lions really look up to him.
Disruption: Scar kills his brother (Mufasa)
