The movie was so well-loved by audience everywhere, that Disney executive Michael Eisner, began thinking it would make a successful stage play as well. When he told co-worker Thomas Schumacher to start planning, Schumacher was stunned. He felt the project was impossible. But Eisner insisted. He said that all they needed was a “brilliant idea”. After many months, Schumacher found his brilliant idea. “ The answer,” he recalls, “ was, in fact, quite simple Julie Taymor,” a woman who has been creating magical theater for many years. Taymor accepted the challenge, putting all her years of theatrical experience into creating a new concept for The Lion King. When she began to address the question of how to bring the animal characters to life, she knew she did not want to hide the actors inside big animal suits. She wanted the audience to see the actors faces and bodies, which would represent the animals human qualities. So she designed costumes that revealed the actor within. Not every good idea works out, so even the most creative person must be willing to let go of an idea and look for a better one. For example, the mask for Mufasa, the lion king, went through many changes. At one point, Taymors co-designer, Michael Curry, created a large mask that the actor would lift on and off. But it looked awkward, so Curry went back to the drawing board and came up with a better idea. Creative ideas are not always complex. Sometimes, the simplest idea is the most powerful. Taymor calls these simple, but powerful ideas “true theatre”. For example, ribbons can show someones tears, and blue silk can show water. Many people helped make The Lion King a success. It was a team effort in every sense of the word, yet each person added his or her personal touch to make the production memorable. The creative work of the entire team pays off every night. People are thrilled by this imaginative journey to Africa. After the glorious opening, the amazing sights continue. The audience sees frightening hyenas, an elephant graveyard, an eye-popping stampedeeverything, in fact, that was in the movie, but different enough to be a whole new event. By the end of the show, many in the audience find it hard to remember that The Lion King was ever a movie.41.

It sounds like one of the most fun questions a researcher could investigate, but theres a serious scientific reason why Caspar Addyman wants to find out. Hes not the first to ask this question. The great psychologist(心理学家) of human development, Jean Piaget, thought that babies laughter could be used to see into their minds. Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they understand the world, he reasoned. But although he suggested this in the 1940s, this idea remains to be properly tested. Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic, it hasnt been given enough attention by modern psychology. Addyman, of Birkbeck, University of London, is out to change that. He believes we can use laughter to get at exactly how babies understand the world. Hes completed the worlds largest and most comprehensive survey of what makes babies laugh, presenting his initial results at the International Conference on Infant Studies, Berlin, last year. Via his website he surveyed more than 1,000 parents from around the world, asking them questions about when, where and why their babies laugh.The results are heart-warming. A babys first smile comes at about six weeks, their first laugh at about three and a half months. Peekaboo(躲猫猫) is a sure-fire favourite for making babies laugh, but tickling(挠痒痒) is the single most reported reason why babies laugh. Importantly, from the very first chuckle(低声轻笑), the survey responses show that babies are laughing with other people, and at what they do. The mere physical sensation of something being ticklish isnt enough. Nor is it enough to see something disappear or appear suddenly. Its only funny when an adult makes these things happen for the baby. This shows that way before babies walk, or talk, they and their laughter are social. If you tickle a baby they apparently laugh because you are tickling them, not just because they are tickled.Whats more, babies dont tend to laugh at people falling over. They are far more likely to laugh when they fall over, rather than
