All of that is normal right? Our completely reasonable obsession caused us to fall down a black hole of Lion King fact-finding:. Jeremy Irons was reluctant to lend his voice as Scar. When he saw the animation he fell in love with the character, and we are very glad he did. The wildebeest stampede took three years to create.
Three years for a six minute scene. If you think three years is a long time, imagine how long it would take to draw the tens of thousands of wildebeests.

Popularity rank by frequency of use Simba The Lion King continues to teach children about strength and death, reinforcing important life lessons; it still holds a dear place in the hearts of most adults.
Swapping traditional animation for photorealistic CGI, this new and revised remake plays out in the same fashion, offering nothing new besides updated, gorgeous imagery. The characters are the same, and importantly — bar the hyenas — the names have remained. The film talks about the circle of life, and indeed, we see Simba grow to become king.
It wasn't until he met and obtained guidance from the wise mandrill, Rafiki , as well as encountering his father's spirit that Simba would learn that the past is important, and should be looked to as a means to admit his mistakes, but never as a reason to prevent one's self from moving on in life. It also wasn't until Simba learned the truth of his father's demise, he was more confident and self-assured. In spite of this, Simba was also willing to partake in more easy-going hobbies, such as loafing around with Timon and Pumbaa.
Now as a full-grown adult and King of the Pride Lands, with a loving family, including a daughter and a son, Simba is no longer overly adventurous and outgoing, instead becoming humble and rather soft-spoken, even in the face of his family and closest friends.
From the trauma of his father's tragic death, Simba also became fearful and overprotective, specifically with his daughter, Kiara , as he feared the dangers that lurked in the Pride Lands, be they outright such as the hyenas were or hidden within the shadows, such as the true nature of Scar.
He also looked back at his childhood with some sense of shame, as evidenced by his conversation with Nala early in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride , in which he claimed that Kiara's adventurous and curious spirit worried him, as she mirrored his own as a cub, referring to the perils he endured during childhood. Despite this, he was not over-protective of his son Kion as he was with Kiara, in spite of his son's initial immaturity.
This was probably due to Kion being better at following the rules than Kiara is and a stark contrast to his father was as a cub , along with Kion being more capable since his newfound role as leader of the Lion Guard.
Simba was also shown to be a wise and respected ruler, much like Mufasa before him, as declared by Pua. He had the prejudice against those who retained loyalty to the dethroned Scar, but was willing to accept them eventually, as he followed the philosophy verbally showcased in " We Are One ". However, despite being king, Simba knows that he has to respect the traditions of other animals, which was why he didn't interfere with Makuu and Pua's mashindano and accepted the former's victory.
Simba also likes to stick to tradition, which was why at first, he was terribly disappointed with Kion for putting other animals in the Lion Guard instead of other lions like the previous Lion Guards.
However, after witnessing the new Lion Guard defeat hyenas, Simba accepts his son's choice and expresses pride for him. Like his father, Simba is willing to jump into combat whenever it comes to rescuing his family and friends, even if it means his own life is in danger. When he and Nala were being chased by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed , he noticed Nala was starting to slip on a mountain of bones in the elephant graveyard and immediately ran down to assist her to climb back up for their escape.
He swiped Shenzi across the face, leaving her with three scratch marks. Another example is when Timon and Pumbaa were being chased by a lioness, Simba quickly springs into action and battles the lioness until coming to the realization that he was battling Nala. Witnessing his uncle Scar cruelly and physically abuse his mother Sarabi , Simba leapt to her defense. Simba sometimes doesn't listen to the advice he is given from his friends and family at once, showing he has to find out the hard way.
As time went on he got what his friends and family meant when he sees things for himself, shown when he finally understood the advice he was given from Timon and Pumbaa about letting go of the past back when he was cub after witnessing Zira not willing to let go of it, and tries to use the same advice to help her.
Despite his many commendable attributes, Simba can sometimes be arrogant, even towards those who know him well, he is also sometimes credulous a trait he still possesses from his childhood to the point of believing his enemies, evidenced by the fact that when Zira claims that Kovu led him into an ambush, however, in truth, the latter had no knowledge of the ambush, and was completely innocent.
Simba later developed a ferocious temper in his adult life that he can quickly enter, swinging from one mood to the next, and this temper frequently gets the better of him as he held a grudge against those loyal to Scar or who he considers enemies, as seen when he did not give Kovu a chance to explain that he didn't see the ambush coming nor participate in it. Simba was so caught up with his grudge against the Outsiders that he had forgotten they are also lions just like him and his pride until he was reminded by Kiara that they are one which helped him see through his mistakes.
Realizing the error of his ways, Simba is finally able to put his tragic past and hatred of Scar behind him, remorsefully apologizing to Kovu and accepting him and the other Outsiders back into his pride.
He even forgave Zira and offers her the chance to return to the Pride Lands peacefully, despite his intense hatred of her in the past and her previous attempts on his life, which she turns down due to being consumed by hatred, ultimately getting herself killed in a raging river.
This shows that Simba is becoming more rational and wiser in his choices, thanks to his daughter's guidance. At the break of dawn, the royal couple Mufasa and Sarabi welcome the arrival of their newborn cub, Simba, and, at his birth, is presented to the kingdom as their future king. Rafiki , a wise mandrill who was an old friend of Mufasa, heads the ceremony, performing a ritual before presenting Simba. Months later, Simba grows up into a clever and playful cub, with a rambunctious attitude.
He grows excited about being king someday after Mufasa shows him the kingdom. Mufasa explains that Simba will one day rule over everything they can see, but warns Simba not to go to a shadowy area beyond the borders of the Pride Lands.
Though Simba initially believes that being king is about getting to do whatever he wishes, Mufasa teaches him about the responsibilities of being royalty. Suddenly, Mufasa is alerted by Zazu of hyenas in the Pride Lands. Mufasa goes to deal with the situation and tells Zazu to take Simba home, much to the cub's disappointment. After Simba returns home, he tells his uncle Scar about the trip. Taking advantage of the cub's naive nature, Scar tells Simba what the forbidden place is tricking him into going there.
It is in fact, the elephant's graveyard , where only the bravest lions travel. Simba wants to prove himself brave, and Scar makes this their "little secret" and "tells" him to steer away from there. Later that afternoon, Simba meets his best friend Nala, and they travel to the graveyard. Unknown to them, Scar had planned on his hyena accomplices being there to kill the cubs, in an attempt to remove Simba from the line of succession so that Scar could become king. Having been found by Zazu after the hyenas had their fun shooting him out of a geyser, Mufasa saves the two cubs, foiling Scar's plan, but is disappointed in Simba for disobeying him.
After sending Nala and Zazu back to Pride Rock, Mufasa lectures Simba on the line between bravery and bravado, and he forgives and forgets. Afterward, Simba asks if they will always be together, to which Mufasa responds by telling Simba about the Great Kings of the Past, who look down from the stars.
Mufasa tells Simba if he ever feels alone, the Great Kings will always be there to guide him, and so will he. The next day, Scar tells Simba that his father has a surprise for him. Scar leaves him in a deep gorge, telling Simba that he will return with his father soon. The so-called "surprise" was another evil plot of Scar's, this time with the goal of killing both Simba and Mufasa. The hyenas drive a herd of wildebeest toward Simba, who climbs a frail tree to avoid the stampede. Lured there by Scar, Mufasa arrives and successfully saves Simba but does not survive.
Mufasa had attempted to climb a sheer cliff to safety after securing Simba on a safe ledge, but near the top, Mufasa came upon Scar looking down on him and pleaded for his brother's help. Instead, Scar threw him off after saying with an evil grin, "Long live the king. Mourning the loss of his father, the emotionally vulnerable Simba is later tricked by Scar into believing that Mufasa's death was his own fault as Simba had practiced his roar on a lizard seconds before the stampede started and his mother will be most ashamed of him for it.
Scar tells Simba he must leave the kingdom and never return, before secretly sending the hyenas to kill him. Simba is able to escape by rolling down a big hill into a bed of dense thorn plants that the hyenas were too afraid to enter.
The hyena trio giving up chasing him, Simba then continues to run into a desert while they call out after him that they'll kill him if he ever returns to the Pride Lands, before returning to Scar and lying that Simba is dead confident that, by logic, the cub will die in that desert. With the deaths of his brother and supposedly his nephew, Scar informs the tragic news to the lionesses and claims the throne as the new king. Meanwhile, Simba has run far from home. While going through the desert, he passes out from heat exhaustion.
A flock of buzzards descend upon the cub and prepare to eat him, but a meerkat Timon and a warthog Pumbaa chase the buzzards away and find Simba's unconscious body. While Timon is fearful since, as a predator, Simba will eat them when he is older and bigger, but Pumbaa convinces him Simba will not, rather protect them, if they raise him.
They take Simba to the edge of the jungle where Timon rehydrates him by splashing water in his face. When Simba regains consciousness, he thanks them for their help and they offer to let him stay with them, as Simba was an outcast like they were. Sympathetic to the despondent cub, they then teach Simba about their life in the jungle, and about their motto "Hakuna Matata", which means "no worries" and successfully cheer him up.
Simba takes this to heart and, so he will not have to eat them, survives by eating bugs. But they also teach him a very important life lesson, how to put your past behind you, which would become a key role later on in the young prince's life.
After years of living an enjoyable easygoing life in the jungle, Simba has grown up into a fairly carefree young adult lion but is reminded of his father's death one night while he, Pumbaa, and Timon are stargazing.
One day, Simba is called upon to save Pumbaa from a mysterious lioness, only for him to discover that the lioness is his childhood friend, Nala. Though Nala is happy, as Simba being alive means that Simba can become king, Simba is hesitant because he still feels guilt about Mufasa's death. After Simba and Nala spend time alone, they discover their friendship has blossomed into a romantic relationship.
However, Nala tries to get Simba to return to the Pride Lands by telling him about how Scar's tyrannical rule has left the kingdom with no food or water due to his allowing the hyena clan to run rampant, but Simba still refuses. Only encounters with both Rafiki and the ghost of Mufasa are able to convince him to return, as Mufasa reminds him that he must accept his role in the Circle of Life while Rafiki afterwards demonstrates how you can either run from the past or learn from it when he hits him with his stick and Simba then avoids the second attempt.
Simba returns to the Pride Lands , where he discovers that his childhood homeland has indeed become a barren wasteland during Scar's reign, with the herds having moved on. While Timon and Pumbaa distract the hyenas and Nala rallies up the lionesses, Simba goes to find Scar.
Simba reveals himself to his uncle after seeing Scar strike down Sarabi. Scar is fearful at first, mistaking Simba for Mufasa upon first seeing him, but is able to recognize Simba and force him to admit guilt in Mufasa's death to the lionesses. Scar then backs Simba over the edge of Pride Rock, as a lightning strike causes a wildfire around the rock formation, and pierces Simba's paws with his claws just like he did to Mufasa before revealing that he himself killed Mufasa, not Simba.
Enraged upon learning the truth, Simba breaks free of Scar's grip, and pins him down, leaving Scar terrified for his life, and forces him to admit his treachery to the rest of the pride. Alongside the lionesses and his friends, Simba leads a subsequent battle against Scar and his hyena minions. After a fight with Scar at the top of Pride Rock, Simba is able to flip his villainous uncle over the ledge.
There, Scar is mauled to death and consumed by his hyena henchmen as revenge for trying to pin the murder of Mufasa on them as well as his derogatory treatment and broken promises of more food. With a roar, Simba ushers in his reign as king of the Pride Lands.
By the time the kingdom is restored to its former glory, Simba has taken his rightful place as king. He marries Nala and the two have their own cub, who is presented to the kingdom in a similar manner to the beginning of the film. Though a loving father, he is extremely concerned and over-protective of Kiara due to his life experiences as a cub. One day Simba lets his daughter out to play with Timon and Pumbaa to watch her.
Unknown to Simba, Timon and Pumbaa begin to quarrel about bugs and Kiara slips away from them unnoticed. Kiara ends up crossing over into the Outlands, where she meets Kovu , an Outsider cub whose pride was exiled by Simba due to their loyalty to Scar. Zira tries to goad him into killing Kovu, since the king threatened a death penalty to any Outsider who trespasses, but Simba spares him likely deeming it unethical to kill a young, terrified cub and because his young daughter was present.
