A lion prince, Simba, is born in
Africa and the animals of the Pride Lands pay tribute. Later Simba is told by
his father, King Mufasa, that when Mufasa dies, Simba will become King of the
Pride Lands. Simba's Uncle Scar would have been king after Musafa had Mufasa
not had a child. Fuelled by rage, Scar plots to kill Mufasa and Simba so he is
able to take over the throne. He uses the hyenas to cause a stampede through
the canyon where Mufasa and Simba are, and personally ensures Mufasa falls to
his death. Simba survives so Scar implies that the stampede was Simba's fault
and that the pride will blame him. Simba flees the Pride Lands meaning never to
return home. Simba is found, collapsed with exhaustion, by Timone the Meerkat,
and Pummba the Warthog, and the trio become fast friends. Simba stays with them
well into adulthood until his childhood friend, Nala, hunting beyond the Pride
Lands that herds had deserted under Scar's mismanagement stumbles upon Simba's
new home. Astonished to find him alive, she begs him to return to the Pride
Lands, where Scar has reigned as King for years, and ruined everything. All of
the animals will starve if Simba does not return. Simba eventually agrees to
fight for his kingdom. Simba battles Scar, and learns his father's death was
Scar's fault, not his own. Simba prevails and, in time, has his own son,
mirroring "The Circle of Life." Written by fallgeek
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".
