Original subtitles

On that day we arrived on the planet And blinking

stepped into the sun There's more to see

than can ever be seen More to do than can ever

be done There's far too much to take in

here

to find than can ever be found by the sun rolling

high through the sapphire sky keeps great and small on the air

Life's not fair, is it, my little friend?

While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging

scraps.

The way I see it, you and I are exactly the same.

We both want to find a way out.

The king approaches!

This is not a drill. His Majesty has requested an audience. Upon his

you will rise and genuflect.

Zazu, you've made me lose my lunch.

You will answer to Mufasa for missing the ceremony this morning. I answer to

one.

Scar? Scar?

Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar. No, no, don't look at me like that. Are you

hungry, Zazu?

Perhaps. We could have a bite together.

You can't eat me. It is forbidden to eat a member of a king's corpse.

Please, stop it.

Well, look who's come down to mingle with the commoners.

Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.

Was that today?

Must have slipped my mind.

Of course, I meant no disrespect towards his majesty.

Or Sir Arby.

As you know, I have tremendous respect for the queen.

As the king's brother, you should have been first in line. I was first in line.

Or don't you remember?

That is, until the precious prince arrived.

Don't. turn your back on me, Scar.

Oh, no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.

Is that a challenge?

I wouldn't dream of challenging you again.

A wise decision. You are no match for his royalness.

Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share.

But when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid my big brother will always rule.

Not always, Scar.

One day, it'll be my son who rules.

Simba will be your king.

Then long live the king.

What am I going to do with him?

Oh, come on. We both know he should have been expelled from the Pride Lands long

ago. He's my brother, Zazu.

This is his home. As long as I am king, that will never change.

Well, there's one in every family, sire. I had a cousin who thought he was a

woodpecker. He slammed his head into trees, and our beaks aren't built for

He was concussed regularly.

Oh, you've gone.

Sire, coming back!

We are here.

We're cornered.

Simba.

Your son's awake.

Before sunrise is your son.

Come on, Dad.

Let's go.

You said I could patrol with you today. And today has started. You promised.

You up?

Let's do this.

Let's do this.

So what's first?

Give orders for the hunt?

Chase away evil intruders?

Dad, you're going the wrong way.

Dad,

I'm not supposed to go up here.

Look, Simba.

Everything the light touches is our kingdom.

You would?

All of that?

Yes, but a king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.

One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the

new king.

All of this will belong to me?

It belongs to no one, but will be yours to protect.

A great responsibility.

Everything the light touches?

Those trees, and the watering hole, and that mountain, and

the almost shadows.

You must not go there, Simba. But I thought a king could do whatever he

take any territory.

While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he

give.

Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.

As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures,

the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.

But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?

Yes, Simba, but let me explain.

When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass.

And so we are all connected in the great circle of life.

Sire! Morning, Zazu.

Do you have the morning report?

Yes, sire.

Ten flamingos are taking a stand, and two giraffes were caught necking. The

from the bees is at 11 during the morning.

The birds are tweeting at 4 in the morning. I'm like birds, we get it. Stay

to the ground.

I got this.

Check the wind, the shadows, and wait for the perfect moment of bounce.

And now the baboons are going ape. Of course, as I say, cheetahs never

That's what I say.

I'll say it again. Cheetahs never prosper.

Ow!

Come on!

It's the news!

That's very good!

the Pride Lands.

They're on the hunt.

Where's the Robbie?

She's leading the charge.

Zazu, take Simba home.

Dad, let me come. I can help.

No, son.

You stay with the other cubs.

I am not a cub.

Come on.

Let's go home.

Here we are.

Now you go along and play with the other cubs.

If you wish to kill something, you might want to stay downwind.

I know how to hunt, Uncle Scar.

Well, let's hope we're never attacked by a beetle.

Go back to your den, Simba.

I don't babysit.

Babysit? I'm going to be the king of Pride Rock.

My dad showed me the whole kingdom. Said I'm going to rule it all.

Is that so?

Think about it.

When I'm king, I'll have to give you orders.

Tell you what to do.

How weird is that?

You've no idea.

So your dad showed you the whole kingdom.

Did he show you the shadows beyond the northern borders?

No. He said I can't go there.

Ever.

And he's absolutely right.

An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince.

Isn't it? Elephant graveyard?

Whoa.

Oh, I've said too much.

Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later, you being king and all.

You've been there?

We've all been there. And it's no place for a cub. All those rotting bones and

burning pools of oozing mud.

Rotting bones?

Oozing mud? Promise me you'll stay away, Simba.

Now you run along.

And remember, it's our little secret.

Your Majesty.

Mama, come on. We have to go. Where?

The watering hole.

Zimba, she's having her bath.

And it's time for yours.

Mom, I can do it myself.

Hold still.

You're messing up my mane.

Come on. Behind the ears.

Come on, Mom.

See? All clean. Can we go?

There's no hyenas. You just chased them all off.

Just to the watering hole and no further.

And stay downwind.

And one more little thing.

Zazu will be going with you.

Zazu? Zazu goes.

Or you don't.

Come along.

Keep up. Let's move in a unit.

Okay, buddy.

So, where are we really going?

How did you know?

You hate the water. I heard about this place, Nala.

The most incredible.

Amazing. Just tell me where.

An elephant graveyard.

Whoa. How far is it? Not far. Just to the shadows.

But don't worry.

Everyone's been there.

We've never been that far before. What if we get lost? Relax, Nala.

I patrolled the entire kingdom this morning with my dad.

There's nothing to worry about.

Well, there is one thing.

We have an imminent threat. Something is approaching.

Oh, wait. Scratch that. That's my own shadow.

Are we getting rid of the dodo?

Trust me. I got this.

Follow me to freedom.

Oh, how lovely it is to see the future king with his future queen. I could

just... Malt.

What do you mean, future queen?

Well, one day the two of you will be betrothed.

Intended.

Affianced.

Simba, you speak bird.

Married! One day, you will be married.

To each other.

Ew!

That's not gonna happen, Xander. Never, ever. Nala and I are friends.

And besides... She's afraid of rhinos. And he's never eaten an impala. I've

tried it once. We are never getting married, Zazu.

A monarch who ignores tradition.

With an attitude like that, I'm afraid you'll be a pretty pathetic king.

Well, I'm not letting anyone tell me where to go, what to do, and even who to

marry. There will never be a king like me.

Simba, you can't escape your destiny. Just watch.

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware.

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair.

I'm gonna beat the main event like no king was before.

I'm brushing up, I'm looking down, working on my roar.

Oh, thus far, a rather uninspiring thing.

Oh, I just can't wait to be king. You have rather a long way to go, young

master, if you think... I'm gonna stand to this. Now, when I said...

What I meant was... Stop that!

I wouldn't hang about.

This child is getting wildly out of way.

You see, it's a little lion. He's small.

an aardvark. Good luck finding one that will say yes. Good luck getting out of

here without a bruising. Give it your best shot.

Pinja! You owe me an apology.

Never!

Pinja!

You're not gonna trick me, Simba. I know that there's nothing...

This must be it!

Simba, we're way beyond the Pride Lands.

We found it, Nala!

You know what this means?

It means we can go home. It means they won't treat us like cubs anymore.

Get down. It could be dangerous.

Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger.

Cool.

You hear that, Nala?

Simba, come on. You've proved how brave you are. Now the sun is going down. I'm

not just going to sit here and...

We weren't expecting guests today.

Would you two cubs like to stay for dinner?

Yeah, stay for dinner. Because you look like a midnight snack. Can you just give

me a little bit of space?

I'm helping. We have talked about this before. I come in alone. I'm the lead

distraction so everyone can circle.

Okay, okay.

Sorry. Don't be sorry. Just do it. Now this is a need I've waited my whole life

for.

What an unexpected treat to eat the son of a king.

Wait a second. The king? As in you know who? Who rules you know where?

Mufasa does not rule me.

You can do anything to me.

Because I'm the future king.

He's telling me what to do.

His father's strength flickering inside.

I wonder how all that bravery will taste.

Let them go, Shenzi.

They made a mistake.

A horrible mistake.

But if you do this, you will start a war with Mufasa.

Hyena's alliance has been at war since the beginning of time.

But Mufasa's bloodline will end here.

Don't let them get away.

Never.

Never again.

You've been warned, Shinzi.

Zazu, take Nala back to Pride Rock.

Yes, sire.

Don't be too hard on him, sire. I remember a cub, a certain headstrong

was always getting into scrapes.

And he achieved some prominence, did he not, sire?

I have to teach my son a lesson.

Simba?

You deliberately disobeyed me.

I know. You could have been killed.

And what's worse...

You put Nala in danger.

Do you understand what's at stake?

You jeopardized the future of our pride.

I just wanted to show you I could do it.

That I could be brave like you.

I'm only brave when I have to be, when there's no other choice.

But you're not scared of anything.

I was today.

You were?

Yes. I thought I might lose you.

I guess even kings get scared, huh?

More than you could ever know.

But guess what?

What? I think those hyenas are even scarier.

That's because nobody messes with your dad.

Come here.

We're pals, right?

Right. And we'll always be together, right?

Simba, let me tell you something my father told me.

Look at the stars.

The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.

Really? Yes.

So whenever you feel alone, just remember.

That those kings will always be up there to guide you.

And so will I.

But I can't see them, Dad.

Keep looking, son.

Keep looking.

Mufasa is strong.

Like, way stronger than us.

Please, give me some space.

What? You could lie anywhere in this cave.

Where do you want me to... I need some personal space.

Okay? Okay.

Not to take anything away from you. You were great. But he is.

See, now I know you're doing this on purpose. You're brave, too.

Tough. Good energy. Now you're just being spiteful. Good posture. Next time

see Mufasa, I'm going to teach him a lesson he will never forget.

Well, you're in luck. He's right behind you.

Mufasa?

That's not the king.

You fools have stripped your land of every living thing, and yet I send two

little cubs your way, and they come back alive.

I guess we'll have to eat you instead.

Why eat one meal when you can be feasting the rest of your lives?

What could you possibly offer us?

A place where you can fill your bellies.

Where everything the light touches is yours for the kill. The Pride Lands are

not yours to give.

The king controls those hunting grounds.

That's why we're going to kill him.

Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting.

When I am king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want, because a

hyena's belly is never full.

Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge.

Mufasa is yesterday's message.

A clapped -out, distracted regime.

whose failings undoubtedly presage the need for a different dream.

Yes, leonine times are a -changing, which means that hyenas

must too.

My vision is clear and wide -ranging, and even encompasses

you.

So prepare for the coup of the century.

Prepare for the murkiest scourge.

Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial is simply

why I'll be king.

Undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am.

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bare.

Be prepared.

Be prepared.

Be prepared.

Be prepared.

Be prepared.

If the chief and ambitions are bad, be

prepared.

My dad was pretty upset with me.

That's why we're here, Simba.

I think I know a way for you to make it up to him.

A gift that will make him forget it ever happened.

But he's the king.

What could I give him?

Your roar.

My roar?

Yes!

Did you hear that?

This gorge is where all lions come to find their roar.

All lions?

Even my dad?

Even Mufasa came here when he was your age.

Refused to leave until his roar could be heard above the rim.

All the way up there?

That's when you know you've found it.

With a little practice, you'll never be called a cub again.

Watch this.

You'll get it, Simba.

Just takes time.

I'll check on you later.

It's a gift he'll never forget.

Faster! Quick!

Stampede in the forge.

Simba's down there.

Simba?

I'll find him.

You get the prize.

Simba, what have you done?

It was a stampede. He tried to save me. It was an accident.

I didn't mean for it to... Of course you didn't.

No one ever means for these things to happen.

But the king is dead.

And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive.

Your father had such hopes for you.

Gave you so many chances.

And this is how you repay him.

I didn't know. I didn't know.

Oh, what will your mother think? A son who causes his father's death.

A boy who kills a king.

What am I going to do?

Run.

Run away, Simba.

Run away.

And never return.

Kill him.

and make sure he's dead.

Seriously? Oh, I'm sorry.

That's a good distance right there. Okay.

No little cub could survive that fall.

Listen, we're going to tell her we went down there and we ate him. Aha, that's

perfect. Because I am starving. We're not going to eat him.

Simba is dead.

That's all she ever has to know.

Works for me.

Mufasa's death is a terrible tragedy.

The greatest leader the pride has ever known.

To lose a brother.

Such a deep, personal loss.

And little Simba, who had barely begun to live.

A cub whose blood held our future.

It's almost too much to endure.

I only wish I had gotten to the Gorge in time, been there to save them.

And so it is with a heavy heart that I must assume the throne.

Mufasa and Simba are gone, which means I am your king.

But I must admit, I cannot bear this burden alone.

And I will need some help to ensure the safety of the bride.

Stella! Stay close.

And so, from the ashes of this tragedy, we shall welcome the dawning of a

new era.

A great...

And glorious future!

of those vultures one day. I'm going to get one. I don't know why it's so

important to you. I just feel like it would make me feel better.

Oh, no, it's a little lion.

That is not a lion. Well, then go check it out. What is it? That is not a lion.

It's a furry bird.

It looks like a lion.

That's not a lion. Let me get a closer look. Excuse me.

All right, let me see what we're dealing with here.

It's a lion. Run for your life.

Wait, wait, wait.

It's a little lion. It gets bigger.

Can we keep him?

Can we please keep him? Oh, okay.

I promise. I'll walk him every day. If he makes a little mess, I'll clean it

You'll be his little mess. He's going to eat you and then use my body as a

toothpick. But one day, when he's big and strong, he'll be on our side.

I've got it.

What if he's on our side? Hear me out!

Having a ferocious lion around might not be such a bad idea.

Well, then, can we keep him? Yes, of course we can keep him. Thank God!

Who is the brains of this operation?

We're going to name him Fred.

Who are you?

We're the guys who saved your life, risked everything, fought off angry

vultures. Hordes of them.

Flocks. I'm Pumbaa.

This is Timon. Did I mention that we saved your life?

It doesn't matter.

Whoa. How bleak is that?

It doesn't even matter. I don't have enough that I'm dealing with right now.

problems are my problems. But we can help him. We're in a position to help

So,

how are you in as few words as possible?

I did something terrible.

I don't want to talk about it.

Look, kid, we've all made mistakes.

There must be something we can do, right?

Not unless you can change the past.

Well, you know, that's a lot to ask, if I'm being honest. That's a biggie. I

mean, change the past that already happened. Yeah, so you can't change

know what you can change?

The future.

That's our specialty. Kind of our thing.

How can you change something that hasn't happened?

Well, to change the future, you've got to put your past behind you.

Way behind.

Look, kid.

Bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?

Right. Wrong!

When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world. And

embrace what's next. And turn the what into so what.

Well, that's not what I was taught.

Well, then maybe you need a new lesson. Repeat after me, kid.

Hakuna Matata.

What?

Hakuna Matata. Hakuna Matata.

Hakuna. Most people get a bigger reaction when we say it. Okay. Some

start clapping immediately. Hakuna Matata. It means no worries.

One and a. Okay. I do the counting here. I want to count. Why don't we count

together? Okay. That's a good idea. All right.

One and a. Two and a.

Hakuna Matata.

What a wonderful phrase.

Hakuna Matata.

It ain't no passing craze.

will solve all your problems.

Yeah. Take Pumbaa here.

Why? When he was a young warthog.

When I was a young warthog.

How you feeling? It's an emotional story.

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal. He could clear the savannah

every meal.

I'm a sensitive soul.

Although I seem thick -skinned.

I was always here for you and I resent that.

Oh, the shame. Yes, he was ashamed.

I thought of changing my name. I mean, to what, Brad?

And I got downhearted.

Do as we please.

It's beautiful.

That's really nice, huh?

Everyone, this is Simba.

That, my friend, is a lion. What about food? Have you thought about feeding

thing? Yeah, I'm starved. I could eat a whole zebra.

Here we go.

No, no, no, kid.

We're fresh on a zebra.

An antelope?

Uh -oh. No, listen, kid. If you want to live with us, you have to eat like us.

And most importantly, not eat us.

This looks like a good spot. I'm going to ruffle up some grub.

It's perfect. Step aside, fellows.

What's that?

This one's got some nuttiness.

Now that's what I call umami.

Slimy, yet satisfying.

Extra crunchy. They're local. Oh, are they? They're from right there.

I'm telling you, kids. This is the great life. No rules. No responsibilities.

Ooh.

A little cream filled kind. I love it. I love these. Those are good. I love

these. Those are the best. Okay.

Oh, well.

Kuna Matata.

Slimy.

Yet.

Satisfying. That's it.

We live long.

Egg sack.

I got an egg sack.

Kuna Matata. Kuna Matata.

It means

no worries.

One more time. Oh, no, I think we did. I think we got this one. Yeah, we're just

getting in the groove. No, let's leave them wanting more. Yeah, you've grown

pounds since we started. Meanwhile, I look exactly the same.

Will you tell them to stop?

Did we sing it? I insisted you started singing it. It's our signature song. We

shouldn't be sharing it. But it's our signature song, so we have to. Look,

tell him to stop.

Oh,

now he's riffing. This is a nightmare.

It actually is coming better and better.

Nala. Come.

Sit with us.

Zazu, where have you been?

I'm sorry, Nala. I came as soon as I could.

The morning report, Zazu.

Your Majesty, the Pride Lands are in imminent danger.

The hyenas are chasing off the last of the herds. The bird's back!

Get him!

Don't come here again unless you want to be eaten!

We have to do something, Sarabi.

We have to fight.

Nala, Scar is the king.

But you are our queen. We should leave before it's too late. We must all stay

together and protect the Pride Lands.

This is our home.

We must never abandon it. This isn't the home I remember.

Our time will come, Nala.

Be patient.

Sarabi.

The king.

Wishes to see you.

Don't go.

I'm not afraid of him.

Won't you join me, Sarabi?

There's plenty to go around.

You're overhunting, Scar.

I've simply perfected the kill with the help of my army.

You're killing everything.

Don't you see?

There is nobody to challenge me. We can finally take whatever we want.

We?

Long ago, you chose Mufasa over me.

But now there is a new king.

So stop being so selfish.

You are the selfish one.

The other lions look to you.

As long as you resist, they will reject me.

Take your place by my side, and we will feast together.

I will never be your queen.

And from now on, the lions will eat after the hyenas.

And they don't leave much behind.

I will very much not go away. I am sworn to protect you and must order you back

to bed.

I don't need protecting anymore.

Wonderful to see you. Sorry to drop in like that.

Have I ever told you about my brother who thought he was a woodpecker?

I'm going to get you.

I'm going to get you. Oh, I got you. I got you.

Simba, it's you.

Did you see that?

Man, that butterfly was right there. I almost had him.

I thought it was a lion.

You know, the other kind of lion.

You know, a real lion.

I mean, not to turn out a real lion, but, you know, the kind that eats.

I'm going to go.

Hey, where are you going?

You want to get some grubs?

What's up with that guy?

Um, Simba, how can I say this?

He's prey.

Yeah. And he is never going to want to frolic with a carnivore. No, you two

never frolic.

Why not?

You see, in nature, there's a delicate balance.

Oh, yeah, the circle of life. I know that. No, no, no, no, no. I don't know

where you're getting circle. No, yeah, there's no circle of life. It's no

circle. No, not at all. In fact... It's the opposite. Yeah. It's a line. Yeah.

It's a meaningless line of indifference. And we're all just running towards the

end of the line, and then one day we'll reach the end, and that'll be it. That's

it. Line over.

Nothing. Nada.

And you can really just kind of do your own thing and fend for yourself, because

your line doesn't affect anyone else's line. You're alive, and then you're not.

Like this guy.

Hmm.

You sure it's not a circle?

That we're all connected?

A circle would mean we're all this.

That would mean what I do affects him, affects that thing, affects that thing.

That's not how it goes. Which would make doing whatever we wanted not that cool.

Let me simplify this for you. Life is meaningless.

Yes. That's why you just got to look out for yourself.

That's why you do you, Simba. Yeah, Simba, for the first time, we're

you to make a plan for us today.

This is important. Think about all you've been taught.

What do you want to do?

Absolutely nothing!

Exactly! Woo -hoo!

He got this!

Woo -hoo!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Clutchy! All right!

Time to eat!

Oh,

hello.

Nice one, Simba. Oh, thanks.

Must have been the termites.

Or the crickets.

And you wonder why I prefer to sleep underground.

Hey, Timon.

You ever look up there and wonder what those sparkly dots are?

Oh, Pumbaa.

I don't wonder.

I know.

Really? What are they?

They're fireflies.

Fireflies that got stuck on that big bluish -black thing.

Oh.

I guess that makes sense. I always thought they were balls of gas burning

billions of miles away.

Oh, Pumbaa, why is everything always gas with you?

I know.

What do you think, Simba? Yeah. Oh, I don't know.

But somebody once told me the great kings of the past are up there.

That's insane. That's insane.

Royal dead guys watching over us. Well, I hope they don't fall out of the sky.

Hang on, Your Majesty. Don't let go.

Oh, that would be a mess.

Oh, man.

Simba, think about it. Why would a bunch of kings be looking out for us? We're

outcasts. Royal warthogs. I can't. I can't. I can't. I actually can't. I

No, you can.

I can't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's... That's stupid. I'm gonna go get some grubs or something.

What did you say to him?

I don't know.

As you were saying it, I thought, this won't end well. You just start laughing.

You laugh too.

I did not. I would never.

Simba. Simba is alive.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight

Please hold this.

know each other? Timon, Pumbaa, I want you to meet my best friend, Nala.

Best friend?

Well, that hurts.

Nala, you're gonna love it here. This place is amazing. It's everything you

could ever want.

Simba, we need to leave.

Scar has taken over with the hyenas.

You have to take your place as king.

King? Simba? We kneel before you as loyal servants.

Pumbaa, relax.

She's wrong. Lady, you've got your lion's cross.

Nice.

again you don't know what this will mean to everyone what this means to me you

have to come home this is my home please stay this place is

incredible i know you'll love it i can't come on at least let me show you

around where are you going

Beautiful.

I can see what's happening.

I can't what? And they don't have a clue. Who's they?

They'll fall in love. And here's the bottom line.

Our trio's down to two.

Oh, I get it. The sweet caress of twilight.

Yeah. There's magic everywhere.

It's everywhere. And with all this romantic atmosphere,

disaster's in the air.

you feel the love tonight the peace be

The truth about my past.

Impossible. Turn away from me.

He's holding back. He's hiding.

But what?

Isn't it great here?

You know, maybe it could be like this forever.

It's amazing.

But there's something I don't understand.

If you've been alive all this time, why haven't you come home?

We've really needed you.

They're fine, all right? Nobody needs me. You're the king.

Now look, Scar is the king.

Simba, he's decimated the Pride Lands.

There's no food, no water. There's nothing I can do.

What about your mother?

This is your responsibility.

You need to challenge Scar.

I can't go back.

Ever. Why?

Because of what happened at the gorge?

Scar told us that... You wouldn't understand.

None of it matters, okay?

Hakuna Matata.

What? It's something I learned out here, okay?

You see, sometimes bad things happen, and there's nothing you can do about it.

So why worry?

Why worry?

What happened to you?

You're not the Simba I remember.

And I never will be. Are you satisfied?

No, I'm disappointed.

You know, now you're starting to sound like my father. Good.

I'm glad one of us does.

You have no idea what I've been through.

I came here looking for help.

I guess I made a mistake.

Goodbye, Simba.

I don't need best friends. I don't need anybody.

I never did.

Go away.

Going away will not answer the question.

What question? Who are you?

I know exactly who I am. The question is, who are you?

I'm nobody, so leave me alone, all right?

Everybody is somebody, even a nobody.

Yeah, I think you're confused.

I am confused?

You don't even know who you are.

Oh. And I suppose you do.

I held the son of Mufasa.

You knew my father?

Correction. I know your father.

He died a long time ago.

He's alive.

And I can take you to him.

Follow me. I will show you. Hey, hey, hey. If you can keep up.

Wait.

Water, water, water.

Follow me.

Quickly, quickly, come through.

Hey, slow down.

You better hurry.

Hold on, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Your father is waiting.

Do you see him?

I don't see him.

Look closer.

You see?

He lives in you.

Simba.

Simba. You must take your place in the circle of life.

I can't.

You must remember who you are.

The one true king.

Sorry.

I don't know how to be like you.

As king, I was most proud of one thing.

Having you as my son.

That was a long time ago.

No, Simba.

That is forever.

Please. Don't leave me again.

I never left you.

And never will.

Remember who you are.

Remember.

And so,

I ask again.

Who are you?

I am Simba, son of Mufasa.

What are you gonna do?

My father once told me to protect everything the light touches.

If I don't fight for it, who will?

I will.

It's going to be dangerous.

Danger? I laugh in the face of danger.

It can't be.

Hello, Zazu.

Your Majesty.

Welcome home.

We're here. Oh, everyone, calm down. We're here. The backup has arrived.

What are you guys doing here?

We were not worried. No, not worried. No worries. No hakuna matata. We were

concerned. Because, you know, you're our friend.

What about the meaningless line of indifference?

Well, we were thinking that's a good point.

Maybe it curves a little bit. I mean, Simba, look, I'm happy to admit when

Pumbaa's wrong, and this is one of those instances. What? That wasn't my thing.

You told me about the line.

Wait, hold on.

Now, this is the place you're fighting for?

Yes, Timon. This is my home.

Is it behind that terrifying rock?

Talk about your fixer -upper.

I like what you've done with it, although a bit heavy on the carcass.

Hey, hey, look, a bird.

Timon, Pumbaa, this is Zazu.

Oh, wow.

It's a puffin.

Charming.

Simba, we are with you until the end. We are at your service, my liege.

Follow me.

Hyenas everywhere.

I hope it's a quick death. You know, just not a lot of chewing.

What's your plan for getting us past the slobbering guards?

Live bait.

That's a great idea.

Those guys could never resist fresh meat. So, all we need to do is find

something that's like big and pump and juicy.

Maybe like a new... Why is everyone looking at me?

Mon cher mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure

that we proudly present your dinner.

Sir Robbie, why put yourself through this?

All you have to do is be my queen.

You're suffering for what? The memory of a life you once knew, a king you once

loved?

I tried to make you understand what a true king can be.

Scar, a true king's power is his compassion.

I am ten times the king Mufasa was. You are nothing compared to Mufasa.

Get away from my mother!

You alive?

How can that be?

I'm here, mother.

I'm so happy to see you.

Alive.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart.

I can give you more than one.

You see, they think I'm king.

Well, we don't.

Your reign is over, Scar.

Simba is the rightful king.

If you want to get him, you have to get through us.

Are you with me, lion?

The choice is yours, Scar.

Step down or fight.

Must this all end in violence?

I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member.

To feel the shame of knowing I took the life of someone I love.

I put all that behind me. But have they put it behind them?

Do your faithful subjects know what you've done?

What is he talking about?

So you haven't told them your little secret.

Well, Simba, now's your chance to confess.

Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death.

It was me.

It's not true.

It's not true.

It's true. I'm sorry.

He admits it!

Murderer! No, no, it was an accident.

If it weren't for you, the king would be alive.

It's your fault he's dead. Do you deny it?

I'm not a murderer.

We should believe a son who takes the life of a father?

We should believe a son who takes the life of a king?

A son who abandons his mother?

No, I'm... You're what?

Say it! Are you the king?

No, no, I'm... Are you the king?

No, I'm... You're what? I'm... Say it!

I'm nothing.

Then bow to your king!

This before.

Oh, yes.

I remember.

This is the way Mufasa looked before he died.

I looked down.

Saw the fear in his eyes.

And here's my little secret.

You told us you didn't get to the gorge in time.

That's true.

Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?

Looks like we'll be having pig for dinner.

Plump and chubby.

Chubby?

Did he just call me chubby? Uh -oh. It sounded like he just said chubby, which

would be a mistake because I will not be made to feel ashamed of who I am! Oh,

boy. I may run from hyenas, but I will...

I do. You got that out of your system? I did.

Now

this

is a meal I've waited my whole life for.

I've been waiting too.

And I'm not a cub anymore.

Have mercy, I beg you. Mercy?

After what you did?

It was the hyenas.

Those revolting scavengers made me do it. I was planning on killing them all.

You fooled the hyenas.

Just like you fooled me.

Simba. You wouldn't kill your only uncle?

No, Scar.

I'm not like you.

Oh, Simba.

You are truly noble.

And I will make it up to you.

Just tell me how I can prove myself.

Tell me what you want me to do.

Run.

Run away, Scar.

Run away and never return.

As you wish, your majesty.

It will take some time, but together we will build our army.

Friends, huh?

I thought you said we were revolting scavengers. Yeah, that you wanted to

us. No.

No, let me explain.

I was trying to fool him.

We will rule together.

There's only one true thing you ever said to me.

is never full.

Your Majesty.

The doubters and losers, that line of despair, who tell you it's over, you're

going nowhere.

It's never too late, I hope, it's never too late.

It's never too late to get back on track, to get a decent, if not all of

it back. I thought I was happy, and sometimes I was.

I didn't wanna...
