(Music) From the day we arrive
(Music) On the planet
(Music) And, blinking, step into the sun
(Music) There's more to see
(Music) Than can ever be seen
(Music) More to do
(Music) Than can ever be done
(Music) There's far too much
(Music) To take in here
(Music) More to find
(Music) Than can ever be found
(Music) But the sun rolling high
(Music) Through the sapphire sky
(Music) Keeps great and small
(Music) On the endless round
(Music) It's the circle of life
(Music) And it moves us all
(Music) Through despair and hope
(Music) Through faith and love
(Music) Till we find our place
(Music) On the path unwinding
(Music) In the circle
(Music) The circle of life
(Music) It's the circle of life
(Music) And it moves us all
(Music) Through despair and hope
(Music) Through faith and love

(Music) The circle of life
Life's not fair, is it?
You see, I...
WeII, I shaII never be king.
And you...
shaII never see the Iight of another day.
Adieu.
Didn't your mother ever teII you not to pIay with your food?
What do you want?
I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way,
so you'd better have a good excuse for missing this morning's ceremony.
Oh, Iook, Zazu.
You've made me Iose my Iunch.
You'II Iose more than that when the king gets through with you.
He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia.
I quiver with fear!
Now, Scar, don't Iook at me that way.
HeIp!
Scar?
Drop him.
ImpeccabIe timing, Your Majesty.
Why, if it isn't my big brother descending from on high
to mingIe with the commoners.
Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
That was today?
I feeI simpIy awfuI!
Must've sIipped my mind.
Yes, weII, as sIippery as your mind is,
as the king's brother, you shouId've been first in Iine!
WeII, I was first in Iine, untiI the IittIe hairbaII was born.
That hairbaII is my son and your future king.
I shaII practice my curtsy!
Don't turn your back on me, Scar.
Oh, no, Mufasa.
Perhaps you shouIdn't turn your back on me.
Is that a chaIIenge?
Temper, temper.
I wouIdn't dream of chaIIenging you.
Pity. Why not?
WeII, as far as brains go, I got the Iion's share.
But when it comes to brute strength...
I'm afraid I'm at the shaIIow end of the gene pooI.
There's one in every famiIy, sire.
Two in mine, actuaIIy -
and they aIways manage to ruin speciaI occasions.
What am I going to do with him?
He'd make a very handsome throw rug.
Zazu!
And just think, whenever he gets dirty,
you couId take him out and beat him.
Simba.
Dad!
Come on, dad, we gotta go! Wake up!
Sorry.
Dad!
Your son is awake.
Before sunrise, he's your son.
Come on, dad.
You promised.
OK. I'm up.
Yeah!
Look, Simba.
Everything the Iight touches is our kingdom.
Wow!
A king's time as ruIer rises and faIIs Iike the sun.
One day, Simba, the sun wiII set on my time here
and wiII rise with you as the new king.
And this'II aII be mine?
Everything.
Everything the Iight touches.
What about that shadowy pIace?
That's beyond our borders.
You must never go there, Simba.
I thought a king can do whatever he wants.
Oh, there's more to being king than getting your way aII the time.
There's more?
Simba...!
Everything you see exists together in a deIicate baIance.
As king, you need to understand that baIance
and respect aII the creatures,
from the crawIing ant to the Ieaping anteIope.
But, dad, don't we eat the anteIope?
Yes, Simba, but Iet me expIain.
When we die, our bodies become the grass,
and the anteIope eat the grass.
And so we are aII connected in the great circIe of Iife.
Good morning, sire!
Good morning, Zazu.
Checking in with the morning report.
Fire away.
The buzz from the bees is that the Ieopards are in a bit of a spot.
- Oh, reaIIy? - The baboons are going ape.
- What are you doing, son? - Pouncing.
Let an oId pro show you how it's done.
I toId the eIephants to forget it, but they can't.
- Zazu, wouId you turn around? - Yes, sire.
Stay Iow to the ground.
Cheetahs never prosper.
OK, stay Iow. Right.
- What's going on? - A pouncing Iesson.
Very good. Pouncing.
Pouncing? Oh no, sire. You can't be serious.
- This is so humiIiating. - Try not to make a sound.
What are you teIIing him, Mufasa?

(Music) Though just what, I can't recaII
(Music) CrocodiIes are snapping up

What are you doing, son?
Pouncing.
Let an oId pro show you how it's done.
(Music) Oh, the buffaIo have got a beef
Stay Iow to the ground.
OK. Stay Iow to the ground.
Not a sound.
(Music) Saffron is this season's coIour Seen in aII the herds
Take it sIow.
One more step...

(Music) This is the morning report

(Music) Not a taIe I distort
(Music) On the morning report
That's very good.
- Zazu! - Yes!
Sir! News from the underground.
Now, this time...
Sire! Hyenas in the pride Iands!
Zazu, take Simba home.
Aw, dad, can't I come?
No, son.
I never get to go anywhere.
Oh, young master, one day you wiII be king.
Then you can chase those sIobbering, mangy, stupid poachers
from dawn untiI dusk.
Hey, UncIe Scar! Guess what?
I despise guessing games.
I'm gonna be King of Pride Rock.
Oh, goody!
My dad just showed me the whoIe kingdom,
and I'm gonna ruIe it aII!
Yes. WeII, forgive me for not Ieaping for joy.
Bad back, you know.
Hey, UncIe Scar. When I'm king, what'II that make you?
A monkey's uncIe.
- You're so weird. - You have no idea.
So, your father showed you the whoIe kingdom, did he?
Everything.
He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border?
WeII, no. He said I can't go there.
And he's absoIuteIy right.
It's far too dangerous.
OnIy the bravest Iions go there.
WeII, I'm brave. What's out there?
I'm sorry, Simba, I just can't teII you.
Why not?
I'm onIy Iooking out for the weII-being of my favourite nephew.
Yeah, right! I'm your only nephew.
AII the more reason for me to be protective.
An eIephant graveyard is no pIace for a young prince. Oops!
An eIephant what?
Oh, dear, I've said too much.
WeII, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or Iater,
you being so cIever and aII.
Just do me one favour.
Promise me you'II never visit that dreadfuI pIace.
No probIem.
There's a good Iad.
You run aIong now and have fun.
And remember,
it's our IittIe secret.
- Hey, NaIa. - Hi, Simba.
Come on. I just heard about this great pIace.
Simba! I'm kind of in the middIe of a bath.
And it's time for yours.
Mom!
Mom, you're messing up my mane!
OK, I'm cIean. Can we go now?
So, where are we going?
It better not be anypIace dumb.
No, it's reaIIy cooI.
So, where is this reaIIy cooI pIace?
- Around the water hoIe. - The water hoIe?
What's so great about the water hoIe?
I'II show you when we get there.
Mom, can I go with Simba?
What do you think, Sarabi?
WeII...
PIease?
It's aII right with me.
- Yeah! - AII right!
As Iong as Zazu goes with you.
No, not Zazu.
Step IiveIy.
The sooner we get to the water hoIe, the sooner we can Ieave.
So, where are we reaIIy going?
An eIephant graveyard.
Wow!
Zazu.
Right. So, how are we gonna ditch the dodo?
Oh, just Iook at you two.
LittIe seeds of romance bIossoming in the savanna.
Your parents wiII be thriIIed,
what with your being betrothed and aII.
Be-what?
Betrothed. Intended.
Affianced.
Meaning...?
One day, you two are going to be married.
I can't marry her. She's my friend.
Yeah, it'd be so weird.
Sorry to bust your bubbIe,
but you two turtIe doves have no choice.
It's a tradition going back generations.
When I'm king, that'II be the first thing to go.
Not so Iong as I'm around.
In that case, you're fired.
Nice try, but onIy the king can do that.
WeII, he's the future king.
Yeah, so you have to do what I teII you.
Not yet, I don't.
And with an attitude Iike that,
I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king, indeed.
Not the way I see it.
(Music) I'm gonna be a mighty king
(Music) So enemies beware
(Music) WeII, I've never seen a king of beasts
(Music) With quite so IittIe hair
(Music) I'm gonna be the main event
(Music) Like no king was before
(Music) I'm brushin' up on Iookin' down
(Music) I'm workin' on my roar
(Music) Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
(Music) Oh, I just can't wait to be king
You've rather a Iong way to go, young master, if you think...
- (Music) No one sayin', ''do this'' - Now, when I said that...
- (Music) No one saying, ''be there'' - What I meant was...
- (Music) No one sayin', ''stop that'' - But what you don't reaIise...
- (Music) No one sayin', ''see here'' - Now, see here!
(Music) Free to run around aII day
WeII, that's definiteIy out.
(Music) Free to do it aII my way
(Music) I think it's time that you and I
(Music) Arranged a heart-to-heart
(Music) Kings don't need advice
(Music) From IittIe hornbiIIs for a start
(Music) If this is where the monarchy is headed
(Music) Count me out
(Music) Out of service, out of Africa
(Music) I wouIdn't hang about
(Music) This chiId is getting wiIdIy out of wing
(Music) Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Music) Everybody, Iook Ieft
(Music) Everybody, Iook right
(Music) Everywhere you Iook, I'm
(Music) Standing in the spotIight
Not yet!
(Music) Let every creature go for broke and sing
(Music) Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
(Music) It's gonna be King Simba's finest fIing
(Music) Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Music) Oh, I just can't wait
(Music) To be king
I beg your pardon, madam, but...
Get off!
Simba?
NaIa!
AII right! It worked!
We Iost him.
I am a genius.
Hey, genius, it was my idea.
Yeah, but I puIIed it off.
- With me! - Oh, yeah?
- Pinned ya. - Hey, Iet me up!
Pinned ya again.
This is it. We made it.
It's reaIIy creepy.
Yeah.
Isn't it great?
We couId get in big troubIe.
I know!
I wonder if its brains are stiII in there.
There's onIy one way to know.
Come on, Iet's go check it out.
Wrong! The onIy checking out you wiII do
- wiII be to check out of here. - Oh, man!
We're way beyond the boundary of the pride Iands.
Look, banana beak is scared.
It's Mr banana beak to you, fuzzy,
and right now we are aII in very reaI danger.
Danger? Ha!
I waIk on the wide side.
I Iaugh in the face of danger.
WeII, weII, weII, Banzai, what have we got here?
I don't know, Shenzi.
What do you think, Ed?
Just what I was thinking.
A trio of trespassers!
And quite by accident, Iet me assure you.
A simpIe navigationaI error.
Whoa, wait.
I know you. You're Mufasa's IittIe stooge.
I, madam, am the king's major-domo.
And that wouId make you...
The future king.
Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?
Huh! You can't do anything to me.
TechnicaIIy, they can. We are on their Iand.
But you toId me they're nothing but sIobbering, mangy, stupid poachers.
Ix-nay on the upid-stay.
Who are you caIIin' upid-stay?
Oh, Iook at the sun!
- It's time to go! - What's the hurry?
We'd Iove you to stick around for dinner.
Yeah, we couId have whatever's lion around!
Wait, wait, wait, I got one, I got one!
Make mine a cub sandwich! Whaddaya think?
What, Ed? What is it?
Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
No, why?
Cos there it goes!
- Did we Iose 'em? - I think so.
Where's Zazu?
The IittIe major-domo bird hippety-hopped
aII the way to the birdie-boiIer.
Oh, no! Not the birdie-boiIer!
Hey, why don't you pick on somebody your own size?
Like you?
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
That was it?
Do it again. Come on.
- Oh, pIease! UncIe! - SiIence!
- We're gonna shut up right now! - We're reaIIy sorry.
If you ever come near my son again...
Oh, this is... this is your son?
- Oh, your son? - Did you know that?
No. Me? I didn't know... No, did you?
- No, of course not. - No.
Ed?
ToodIes.
- Dad, I... - You deIiberateIy disobeyed me.
- Dad, I'm... I'm sorry. - Let's go home.
I thought you were very brave.
Zazu.
Yes, sire?
Take NaIa home. I've got to teach my son a Iesson.
Come, NaIa.
Simba... good Iuck.
Simba, I'm very disappointed in you.
- I know. - You couId've been kiIIed.
You deIiberateIy disobeyed me,
and what's worse, you put NaIa in danger.
I was just trying to be brave, Iike you.
I'm onIy brave when I have to be.
Being brave
doesn't mean you go Iooking for troubIe.
But you're not scared of anything.
I was today.
- You were? - Yes.
I thought I might Iose you.
I guess even kings get scared.
- But you know what? - What?
I think those hyenas were even scareder.
Cos nobody messes with your dad.
- Come here, you. - Oh, no!
Gotcha!
Dad?
- We're paIs, right? - Right.
And we'II aIways be together, right?
Simba, Iet me teII you something
that my father toId me.
Look at the stars.
The great kings of the past
Iook down on us from those stars.
- ReaIIy? - Yes.
So whenever you feeI aIone,
just remember that those kings
wiII aIways be there to guide you.
And so wiII I.
Man, that Iousy Mufasa. I won't be abIe to sit for a week.
It's not funny, Ed.
Shut up!
WiII you knock it off?
- WeII, he started it. - Look at you guys.
No wonder we're dangIing at the bottom of the food chain.
Man, I hate dangIing.
Yeah? If it weren't for those Iions, we'd be runnin' the joint.
Man, I hate Iions.
- So pushy. - And hairy.
- And stinky. - And, man, are they...
UgIy!
SureIy we Iions are not aII that bad.
Oh, Scar. It's just you.
We were afraid it was somebody important.
Yeah, you know, Iike Mufasa.
- Yeah. - I see.
- Now that's power! - TeII me about it.
I just hear that name and I shudder.
Do it again.
It tingIes me.
I'm surrounded by idiots.
Now, you, Scar, I mean, you're one of us. I mean, you're our paI.
Charmed.
Oh, I Iike that. He's not king, but he's stiII so proper.
Hey, did you bring us anything to eat,
Scar, oId buddy, oId paI? Did ya?
I don't think you reaIIy deserve this.
I practicaIIy gift-wrapped those cubs for you,
and you couIdn't even dispose of them.
WeII, you know...
it wasn't exactIy Iike they was aIone, Scar.
Yeah. What were we supposed to do?
KiII Mufasa?
PreciseIy.
(Music) I know that your powers of retention
(Music) Are as wet as a warthog's backside
(Music) But thick as you are, pay attention
(Music) My words are a matter of pride
(Music) It's cIear from your vacant expressions
(Music) The Iights are not aII on upstairs

(Music) When at Iast I am given my dues
(Music) And injustice deIiciousIy squared
(Music) Be prepared
Yeah, be prepared. We'II be prepared. For what?
For the death of the king.
- Why, is he sick? - No, fooI, we're going to kiII him.
- And Simba, too. - Great idea. Who needs a king?
(Music) No king, no king
- Idiots! There wiII be a king! - But you said...
I wiII be king!
Stick with me,
and you'II never go hungry again.
- Yeah! AII right! - Long Iive the king!
Long Iive the king!
(Music) It's great that we'II soon be connected
(Music) With a king who'II be aII-time adored
(Music) Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
(Music) To take certain duties on board
(Music) The future is Iittered with prizes

(Music) Be prepared
You wait here. Your father has a marveIIous surprise for you.
What is it?
If I toId you, it wouIdn't be a surprise now, wouId it?
If you teII me, I'II stiII act surprised.
You are such a naughty boy.
- Come on, UncIe Scar. - No, no, no, no, no.
This is just for you and your daddy.
You know, a sort of father-son... thing.
WeII, I'd better go get him.
- I'II go with you. - No.
No. Just stay on this rock.
You wouIdn't want to end up in another mess
Iike you did with the hyenas.
- You know about that? - Simba, everybody knows about that.
- ReaIIy? - Oh, yes.
Lucky daddy was there to save you, eh?
Oh, and just between us,
you might want to work on that IittIe roar of yours.
OK.
Hey, UncIe Scar, wiII I Iike this surprise?
Simba, it's to die for.
Shut up.
I can't heIp it. I'm so hungry. I got to have a wiIdebeest.
Stay put.
Can't I just pick off one of the IittIe sick ones?
No. We wait for the signaI from Scar.
There he is. Let's go.
''LittIe roar''!
Look, sire, the herd is on the move.
- Odd. - Mufasa, quick.
Stampede in the gorge.
Simba's down there.
Zazu, heIp me!
Your father is on the way! HoId on!
Hurry!
There! There on that tree!
HoId on, Simba!
Oh, Scar, this is awfuI!
What'II we do?
I'II go back for heIp, that's what I'II do.
Dad!
Scar!
Brother! HeIp me!
Long Iive the king.
No!
Dad!
Dad, come on.
You got to get up.
We got to go home.
HeIp!
Somebody!
Anybody.
HeIp.
Simba. What have you done?
There were wiIdebeests, and he tried to save me.
It was an accident. I didn't mean for it to happen.
Of course. 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 stiII be aIive.
What wiII your mother think?
- What am I going to do? - Run away, Simba.
Run. Run away and never return.
KiII him.
Hey, there he goes.
So go get him.
There ain't no way I'm going in there.
What, you want me to come out Iooking Iike you, cactus butt?
But we got to finish the job.
WeII, he's as good as dead out there anyway.
And if he comes back, we'II kiII him.
Yeah! You hear that?
If you ever come back, we'II kiII you!
Mufasa's death is a terribIe tragedy.
But to Iose Simba, who had bareIy begun to Iive...
For me,
it is a deep, personaI Ioss.
So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne.
Yet out of the ashes of this tragedy we shaII rise
to greet the dawning of a new era
in which Iion and hyena come together
in a great and gIorious future.
Get out of here!
I Iove this! BowIing for buzzards.
Gets 'em every time.
Hey, Timon, you better come Iook.
I think it's stiII aIive.
AII righty, what have we got here?
Jeez, it's a Iion! Run, Pumbaa, move it!
Hey, Timon, it's just a IittIe Iion.
Look at him. He's so cute and aII aIone.
- Can we keep him? - Pumbaa, are you nuts?
You're taIking about a Iion. Lions eat guys Iike us.
- But he's so IittIe. - He's going to get bigger.
Maybe he'II be on our side.
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
Maybe he'II...
Hey, I've got it. What if he's on our side?
You know, having a Iion around might not be such a bad idea.
So we're keeping him?
Of course. Who's the brains of this outfit?
My point exactIy.
Jeez, I'm fried. Let's get out of here and find some shade.
- You OK, kid? - I guess so.
You nearIy died.
I saved you.
WeII, Pumbaa heIped. A IittIe.
Thanks for your heIp.
Hey, where you going?
Nowhere.
Gee, he Iooks bIue.
- I'd say brownish goId. - No. I mean he's depressed.
What's eating you?
Nothing. He's at the top of the food chain.
The food chain!
So, where you from?
Who cares? I can't go back.
You're an outcast. That's great. So are we.
- What'd you do, kid? - Something terribIe.
- But I don't want to taIk about it. - We don't want to hear about it.
Come on, Timon. Anything we can do?
Not unIess you can change the past.
You know, kid, in times Iike this, my buddy Timon here says
you got to put your behind in your past.
No, no, no.
- I mean.. - Amateur.
Lie down before you hurt yourseIf.
It's you got to put your past behind you.
Look, kid, bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?
- Right. - Wrong!
When the worId turns its back on you,
you turn your back on the worId.
WeII, that's not what I was taught.
Then maybe you need a new Iesson.

We're fresh out of zebra.
Any anteIope?
- Hippo? - Nope.
Listen, kid, if you Iive with us, you have to eat Iike us.
Hey, this Iooks Iike a good spot to rustIe up some grub.
Eugh, what's that?

I wouId never have had to do this with Mufasa.
What? What did you say?
- Nothing. - You know the Iaw.
Never ever mention that name in my presence. I am the king!
Yes, sire, you are the king.
I... onIy mentioned it to iIIustrate the differences
in your royaI manageriaI approaches.
- Hey, boss. - Oh, what is it this time?
- We got a bone to pick with you. - I'II handIe this.
Scar, there's no food, no water.
Yeah. It's dinnertime, and we ain't got no stinking entrées.
It's the Iionesses' job to do the hunting.
- Yeah, but they won't go hunt. - Oh, eat Zazu.
Oh, you wouIdn't want me.
I'd be so tough and gamy and...
Oh, Zazu, don't be ridicuIous. AII you need is a IittIe garIic.
I thought things were bad under Mufasa.
- What did you say? - I said Muf-...
I said... ¿ Qué pasa?
Good. Now get out.
But we're stiII hungry.
Out!
- Nice one, Simba. - Thanks.
- Man, I'm stuffed. - Me, too.
I ate Iike a pig.
Pumbaa, you are a pig.
Oh. Right.
- Timon? - Yeah?
Ever wonder what those sparkIing dots are up there?
Pumbaa, I don't wonder, I know.
Oh? What are they?
They're firefIies.
FirefIies that got stuck up in that big bIueish-bIack thing.
Gee.
I aIways thought they were baIIs of gas
burning biIIions of miIes away.
Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.
Simba, what do you think?
WeII, I don't know.
Oh, come on. Give.
Come on. We toId you ours. PIease?
WeII...
somebody once toId me
that the great kings of the past are up there watching over us.
ReaIIy?
You mean a bunch of royaI dead guys are watching us?
Who toId you something Iike that?
- What mook made that up? - Yeah, pretty dumb, huh?
You're kiIIing me.
Was it something I said?
He's aIive?
It is time.
(Music) In the jungIe, the mighty jungIe
(Music) The Iion sIeeps tonight
I can't hear you, buddy. Back me up.
Pumbaa?
Timon?
- Hey, what's going on? - She's going to eat me!
Jeez, why do I aIways have to save your...
Don't worry, buddy. I'm here for you.
Everything's going to be OK.
Get her! Bite her head!
Go for the juguIar! The juguIar!
See, I toId you he'd come in handy.
NaIa?
Is it reaIIy you?
- Who are you? - It's me. Simba.
How did you...?
Where did you come from?
It's great to see you!
- What's goin' on here? - What are you doing here?
What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
Hey! What's goin' on here?!
Timon, this is NaIa. She's my best friend.
- Friend? - Yeah. Hey, Pumbaa, come over here.
NaIa, this is Pumbaa. Pumbaa, NaIa.
- PIeased to meet you. - The pIeasure is aII mine.
How do you do? Time out! Let me get this straight.
You know her, she knows you.
But she wants to eat him, and everybody's OK with this?
- Did I miss something?! - ReIax, Timon.
Wait tiII everyone finds out you've been here aII this time.
And your mother - what wiII she think?
She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know.
Of course they do. Everyone thinks you're dead.
They do?
Yeah. Scar toId us about the stampede.
He did? What eIse did he teII you?
What eIse matters? You're aIive. And that means... you're the king.
King? Lady, have you got your Iions crossed.
King?
Your Majesty, I graveI at your feet.
- Stop it. - It's not graveI, it's groveI.
And don't! He's not the king. Are you?
- No. - Simba!
No, I'm not the king. Maybe I was gonna be,
but that was a Iong time ago.
Let me get this straight. You're the king? And you never toId us?
- Look, I'm stiII the same guy. - But with power.
CouId you guys excuse us for a few minutes?
Whatever she has to say,
she can say in front of us, right, Simba?
Maybe you'd better go.
It starts. You think you know a guy...
Timon and Pumbaa -
you Iearn to Iove 'em.
What? What is it?
It's Iike you're back from the dead.
You don't know how much this wiII mean to everyone.
What it means to me.
- Hey, it's OK. - I've reaIIy missed you.
I've missed you, too.
I teII you, Pumbaa. This stinks.
Oh, sorry.
Not you! Them!
Him, her, aIone.
What's wrong with that?
- (Music) I can see what's happening - What?
- (Music) And they don't have a cIue - Who?
(Music) They'II faII in Iove and here's the bottom Iine

Isn't this a great pIace?
It is beautifuI.
But I don't understand something.
You've been aIive aII this time.
Why didn't you come back to Pride Rock?
WeII, I just needed to get out on my own, Iive my own Iife.
And I did, and it's great.
We've reaIIy needed you at home.
- No one needs me. - Yes, we do. You're the king.
NaIa, we've been through this. I'm not the king. Scar is.
Simba, he Iet the hyenas take over the pride Iands.
- What? - Everything's destroyed.
There's no food, no water.
If you don't do something soon, everyone wiII starve.
- I can't go back. - Why?
- You wouIdn't understand. - What?
No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna matata.
- What? - Hakuna matata.
It's something I Iearned out here. Sometimes bad things happen
and there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?
- Because it's your responsibiIity. - WeII, what about you? You Ieft.
I Ieft to find heIp, and I found you.
Don't you understand? You're our onIy hope.
- Sorry. - What's happened to you?
- You're not the Simba I remember. - You're right. I'm not.
- Now are you satisfied? - No. Just disappointed.
You know, you're starting to sound Iike my father.
Good. At Ieast one of us does.
You think you can just show up and teII me how to Iive my Iife?
You don't even know what I've been through.
I wouId if you'd just teII me.
- Forget it! - Fine!
She's wrong. I can't go back.
What wouId it prove, anyway? It won't change anything.
You can't change the past.
You said you'd aIways be there for me!
But you're not.
And it's because of me.
It's my fauIt.
(Music) Asante sana, squash banana
Come on, wiII you cut it out?
Can't cut it out. It'II grow right back.
Creepy IittIe monkey. WiII you stop foIIowing me?
- Who are you? - The question is, who... are you?
I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure.
WeII, I know who you are. Come here. It's a secret.
(Music) Asante sana, squash banana
What is that supposed to mean, anyway?
It means you are a baboon, and I'm not.
I think you're a IittIe confused.
Wrong! I'm not the one who's confused.
- You don't even know who you are. - Oh, and I suppose you know.
Sure do. You're Mufasa's boy.
- Bye. - Hey, wait!
You knew my father?
Correction - I know your father.
I hate to teII you this,
but he died... a Iong time ago.
Nope. Wrong again!
He's aIive, and I'II show him to you.
You foIIow oId Rafiki. He knows the way. Come on!
Don't dawdIe. Hurry up!
- Wait. - Come on.
WouId you sIow down?
Stop!
Look down there.
That's not my father. That's just my refIection.
No.
Look harder.
You see?
He Iives in you.
Father?
Simba, you have forgotten me.
No. How couId I?
You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me.
Look inside yourseIf, Simba.
You are more than what you have become.
You must take your pIace in the circIe of Iife.
How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be.
Remember who you are.
You are my son and the one true king.
Remember who you are.
No! PIease, don't Ieave me!
Remember.
Father!
Don't Ieave me.
What was that?
The weather.
- Very pecuIiar, don't you think? - Yeah.
Looks Iike the winds are changing.
Change is good.
Yeah, but it's not easy.
I know what I have to do but going back means I'II have to face my past.
I've been running from it for so Iong.
What was that for?
It doesn't matter. It's in the past.
Yeah, but it stiII hurts.
Oh, yes, the past can hurt.
But the way I see it you can either run from it
or... Iearn from it.
You see? So what are you going to do?
First, I'm gonna take your stick.
No! Not the stick!
- Where are you going? - I'm going back!
Good! Go on! Get out of here!
Grubs!
Hey, wake up.
It's OK! It's OK! It's me!
Don't ever do that again.
Carnivores!
- Have you guys seen Simba? - I thought he was with you.
He was, but now I can't find him. Where is he?
You won't find him here!
The king has returned.
I can't beIieve it. He's gone back!
Gone back? What do you mean?
Hey, what's goin' on here?
- Who's the monkey? - Simba's gone to chaIIenge Scar.
- Who? - Scar.
- Who's got a scar? - No, it's his uncIe.
- The monkey's his uncIe? - No! Simba's gone back
to chaIIenge his uncIe, to take his pIace as king.
Simba, wait up!
- It's awfuI, isn't it? - I didn't want to beIieve you.
What made you come back?
I finaIIy got some sense knocked into me,
and I've got the bump to prove it.
Besides, this is my kingdom.
If I don't fight for it, who wiII?
- I wiII. - It's gonna be dangerous.
Danger? I Iaugh in the face of danger.
I see nothing funny about this.
Timon, Pumbaa, what are you doing here?
At your service, my Iiege.
We're gonna fight your uncIe... for this?
Yes, Timon. This is my home.
TaIk about your fixer-upper.
WeII, Simba, if it's important to you, we're with you to the end.
- Hyenas. I hate hyenas. - So what's your pIan
for getting past those guys?
- Live bait. - Good idea.
Come on, Timon. You guys have to create a diversion.
Do you want me to dress in drag and do the huIa?
(Music) If you're hungry for juicy meat
(Music) Eat Pumbaa because he is a treat
(Music) Come on down and dine on this tasty swine
(Music) AII you have to do is get in Iine
(Music) Are you achin'
(Music) For some bacon?
(Music) He's a big pig
(Music) You couId be a big pig, too!
NaIa, you find my mother and raIIy the Iionesses.
I'II Iook for Scar.
Sarabi!
Yes, Scar?
Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job.
Scar, there is no food. The herds have moved on.
No, you're just not Iooking hard enough.
It's over. There is nothing Ieft.
We have onIy one choice. We must Ieave Pride Rock.
- We're not going anywhere. - You have sentenced us to death.
- Then so be it. - You can't do that.
I am the king. I can do whatever I want.
If you were haIf the king Mufasa was...
I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!
Mufasa? No, you're dead.
Mufasa?
No. It's me.
Simba! You're aIive? How can that be?
It doesn't matter. I'm home.
I'm a IittIe surprised to see you...
aIive.
Give me one good reason why I shouIdn't rip you apart.
Oh, Simba, you must understand.
The pressures of ruIing a kingdom...
Are no Ionger yours. Step down, Scar.
Oh, weII, I wouId, naturaIIy.
However, there is one IittIe probIem.
You see them?
They think I'm king.
WeII, we don't. Simba's the rightfuI king.
The choice is yours, Scar.
Either step down or fight.
Oh, must this aII end in vioIence?
I'd hate to be responsibIe for the death of a famiIy member.
- WouIdn't you agree, Simba? - That's not gonna work, Scar.
I've put it behind me.
But what about your faithfuI subjects?
Have they put it behind them?
Simba, what is he taIking about?
So you haven't toId them your IittIe secret.
WeII, Simba, now's your chance to teII them.
TeII them who is responsibIe for Mufasa's death.
I am.
It's not true.
TeII me it's not true.
- It's true. - You see? He admits it!
- Murderer! - No! It was an accident.
If it weren't for you, Mufasa wouId be aIive. It's your fauIt he's dead!
- Do you deny it? - No.
- Then you're guiIty. - No, I'm not a murderer!
Oh, Simba, you're in troubIe again,
but this time daddy isn't here to save you,
and now everyone knows why!
Now, this Iooks famiIiar.
Where have I seen this before? Let me think.
Oh, yes. I remember.
This is just the way your father Iooked before he died.
And here's my IittIe secret.
I kiIIed Mufasa.
Murderer!
- No, Simba, pIease. - TeII them the truth.
Truth? But truth is in the eye of the behoId...
AII right.
AII right!
I did it.
So they can hear you.
I kiIIed Mufasa!
Excuse me. Pardon me. Comin' through. Hot stuff.
- Let me out! - Let me in!
PIease, don't eat me.
Drop 'em!
- Hey, who's the pig? - Are you taIkin' to me?
- He caIIed him a pig! - Are you taIking to me?
- ShouIdn't have done that. - Are you taIking to me?!
- Now they're in for it. - They caII me... Mr Pig!
Take that, you stupid...
Take that and that!
Run, you yeIIow-beIIy!
- Murderer. - Simba, pIease.
- PIease, have mercy. I beg you. - You don't deserve to Iive.
But, Simba, I am... famiIy.
It's the hyenas who are the reaI enemy.
It was their fauIt. It was their idea.
Why shouId I beIieve you?
Everything you ever toId me was a Iie.
What are you going to do?
You wouIdn't kiII your own uncIe.
No, Scar.
I'm not Iike you.
Oh, Simba, thank you. You are truIy nobIe.
I'II make it up to you, I promise. And how can I prove myseIf to you?
TeII me. I mean, anything.
Run.
Run away, Scar,
and never return.
Yes.
Of course.
As you wish...
Your Majesty!
My friends.
Friends? I thought he said we were the enemy.
Yeah. That's what I heard.
Ed?
No. Let me expIain. No, you don't understand!
No, I didn't mean... No!
It is time.
Remember.
