The iconic scene from "The Lion King" was reenacted at the Nizhny Novgorod perinatal center.

      April 24, 2026 10:23 Society A famous episode from the animated film "The Lion King" (0+), where little Simba is lifted above the ground and presented to the residents of the Pride Lands, was repeated at the Nizhny Novgorod perinatal center of GKB No. 40. This was reported by the editor-in-chief of "Stacionar-press" Alexey Nikонов on his MAX channel. The charming tradition was borrowed from basketball games. During the game, the operator finds a child in the stands and displays their image on the screen. At that moment, the dad sitting next to them lifts the baby up, recreating the iconic scene from the animated film. This ritual was decided to be adopted in the medical institution. "It lightens the atmosphere and creates a warm environment," said Nikolai Kabatin, head of the pregnancy pathology department at the OPC. It was previously reported that more than 600 lives were saved in the Nizhny Novgorod region thanks to the "Emergency Demographic Assistance." NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
