terrance asked about _The Lion King_ :
 >Why?

well, it was a somewhat flippant remark and I really don't
read anything into it, but the opening scene of that
awful movie (my daughter's favourite) features what you
might call a blasphemous parody of a christening ceremony.

All the animals gather at an altar-like rock, and the
newborn son of the king of beasts is presented to them.
A priest-figure monkey holds a mango-like fruit "aloft"
above his head, breaks it and anoints the cub with juices.
