The opening sequence makes this super clear for even the most casual viewer of the film: we see animals of all shapes and sizes traveling to Simba's presentation. (Pretty trippy, huh?) From the smallest ant to the largest antelope, we're all just living in this world and trying to make our own way. The Circle of Life is greater than all of us, and yet we're all connected to it. It also refers to how events tend to repeat themselves: Simba grows up, learns about manhood, and becomes the Lion King-and then he has a son who in turn will grow up, learn about manhood, and become the Lion King. Rather, it's a symbolic term for the series of events that unfolds on earth, bringing us from cradle to grave, through ups and downs, love and misfortune, and so on.
The Circle of Life isn't a concrete thing you can point to or look at. The Circle of Life is such a big symbolic deal in The Lion King that it actually gets its own song:
