Crossword Genius

Disney song from animated figure (6,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

circle of life

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disney song from animated' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'figure' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'figure' could be 'circle' (circle is a kind of figure) and 'circle' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'oflife' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
