About The Lion King

The Lion King takes place in the Pride Lands modeled on the Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya, where a lion rules over the other animals as king. Rafiki (Robert Guillaume), a mandrill, anoints Simba, the newborn cub of King Mufasa (James Earl Jones) and Queen Sarabi (Madge Sinclair), and presents him to a gathering of animals at Pride Rock.

Mufasa takes Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) around the Pride Lands, teaching him about the "Circle of Life", the delicate balance affecting all living things. Simba's uncle Scar (Jeremy Irons), who desires the throne for himself, tells him about the elephant graveyard, a place where Mufasa has warned Simba not to go. However, Scar's intention for sending him there is for the hyenas to kill him, making Scar the next heir to the throne. Simba asks his mother if he can go to the water-hole with his best friend, Nala (Niketa Calame). Their parents agree, but only if Mufasa's majordomo, the hornbill Zazu (Rowan Atkinson), goes with them. Simba and Nala elude Zazu's supervision and go to the graveyard instead. Zazu arrives soon after and tries to get the cubs out of the graveyard, but Simba boastfully proclaims that he "laughs in the face of danger" and as he laughs, the laughter of Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, spotted hyenas is heard and they soon corner the group. They give chase to Simba and Nala, but they soon come to a dead end. As the hyenas move in for the kill, Simba tries to scare them off with a roar, but he can't conjure one powerful enough. While the hyenas taunt him, Simba tries to roar again, but it's Mufasa who roars and chases the hyenas off. As they head home, Mufasa expresses his disappointment in Simba's disobedience and Simba tells him that he was only trying to be brave like him. Mufasa tells him that being brave doesn't mean to go looking for trouble. As the two of them roll around in the grass, playing, Simba asks if they'll always be together. Mufasa tells Simba to look up at the stars and that they represent all the kings of the past who are watching over them and that whenever he feels alone, remember that they are watching over him and so will he.
