Plot Outline: Tricked into thinking he killed his father, a guilt ridden lion cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King.
Plot: A young lion prince is born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the second in line to the throne. Scar plots with the hyenas to kill King Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself King. The King is killed and Simba is led to believe by Scar that it was his fault, and so flees the kingdom in shame. After years of exile he is persuaded to return home to overthrow the usurper and claim the kingdom as his own thus completing the "Circle of Life".

Movie Quotes: Timon: What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?


Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Nico Golfar is also credited as " Score Wrangler "

Goofs: We know about 22 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Errors in geography: Leaf-cutter ants, a gopher and some giant anteaters, all native to the Americas, are shown living happily in Africa.

Trivia: There are 69 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• The original opening to the film was supposed to have been a quiet dialogue-heavy sequence. When composer Hans Zimmer prepared his interpretation of Circle of Life, he made an extended version so he would have some flexibility as to what to cut for the film. The animators were so impressed with the work that they decided to change the beginning into the currently seen sequence so they could use the entire work that Zimmer prepared.
• James Earl Jones (King Mufasa) and Madge Sinclair (Queen Sarabi) play the King and Queen in Coming to America (1988).
• Simba says to Scar (Jeremy Irons) You're so weird. Scar replies: You have no idea!, the same reply that Irons used in Reversal of Fortune (1990).
