ストーリー

動物たちの王国、プライド・ランド。その王として尊敬を集めるライオンのムファサとサラビの間に次期王となる息子シンバが誕生した。シンバ誕生の儀式に大勢の動物たちが集まりシンバを称える。一方、シンバの叔父かつムファサの弟(敵)で次期王に選ばれなかったスカーは儀式を欠席し、王になる事ができない自分の立場を呪っていた。

その後、ムファサはシンバに自然界を支配するバランス、サークル・オブ・ライフ (the Circle of Life, 生命の環) について、また王としての心構えについて教えた。シンバは叔父のスカーに自分が王になれることを話すとスカーは思わず口を滑らせてシンバに「ゾウの墓場」のことを話してしまい、「あそこへは行くな」と忠告するが、シンバはその忠告を無視しガールフレンドで幼馴染のナラを誘い、サイチョウの執事・ザズーの目を盗んでゾウの墓場へ遊びに行ってしまう。しかしそこはなんと、ハイエナ達の住処だったのだ。シンバとナラはハイエナ達に襲われるが、助けに来た父のムファサに命を救われる。帰りにムファサはシンバを厳しく叱り、約束を破ってしまったことを反省したシンバは「父さんみたいな勇敢で怖いもの知らずなライオンになりたかった」と打ち明ける。ムファサはそれに対して「勇気と無謀は別だ。王にだって怖いものはある」とシンバを失う不安があったことと王としての誇りを教え、更に星空を見上げて「歴代の王が見守っている」と諭した。

その頃、火山の噴火口のハイエナ達の住処で傷だらけになったハイエナ達の前にスカーが現れた。実はスカーは自分が王の座に就くためにムファサとシンバを亡き者にしようと、ハイエナ達と手を組んで暗躍していたのだった。今回の作戦が失敗したスカーはハイエナ達に自分の餌を与え、再び作戦を練り直す。ある日、スカーはシンバに「お前を驚かすものがあるから待っていろ、それから吠え方も練習した方が良い」と嘘をつき、荒野に取り残す。シンバは言われた通りに吠える練習をすると、突然地面が揺れ出した。シンバがふと見上げると崖の上のヌーの群れが暴走しだしたのだ。必死にヌーから逃げるシンバだが、とうとう追い詰められてしまった。ムファサは何とかシンバを救いあげるが、今にも崖から滑り落ちそうだった。崖をあがくムファサはスカーに助けを求めるがスカーに裏切られ、そのまま突き落とされてしまった。シンバが崖から降りるとムファサは既に死んでいた。父の死に途方に暮れるシンバの前にスカーが現れ、シンバはスカーに濡れ衣を着せられ追放されてしまった。ムファサの死とシンバの追放によってプライド・ランドは完全にスカーに支配されてしまった。

父親を失い、故郷を追われ、絶望に打ちのめされていたシンバは砂漠で行き倒れになり、ハゲワシに食べられかけた。そこにミーアキャットのティモンとイボイノシシのプンバァが現れ、偶然にも助けられた。当初は肉食のシンバを敵視していたティモンだったが、シンバを味方にすれば敵に襲われなくても済むと考えたプンバァの提案を受け入れ、彼を仲間にすることにした。しかし、過去のことで元気のないシンバは2匹と一緒に「ハクナ・マタタ（Hakuna Matata, スワヒリ語で『くよくよするな』の意味）」をモットーとした暮らしを続け、立派なオスライオンへと成長する。しかし、シンバは未だに過去を引きずっていたため、星空について話あった時に2匹にからかわれたため落ち込んでしまう。すると、偶然にもフケが飛び散り、遠くプライド・ランドまで届いたその臭いを嗅いだヒヒのラフィキはシンバがまだ生きていることを確信した。

一方プライド・ランドは、スカーによって荒廃していた。もう食料も残っておらずみんな飢え死に寸前だったが、スカーは王位に就いたことに満足し現状を変えようとしなかった。シンバは、助けを求めて故郷を出てきたナラと偶然にも再会し、王国の現状を知らされる。過去と向き合うことに躊躇し、葛藤するシンバはナラの説得に応じずにその場を出て行ってしまう。落ち込む彼にラフィキと父の幻に導かれ、スカーと対決して王国の平和を取り戻すことを決意する。自由な暮らしが奪われる不安を抱いていたティモンとプンバァもナラからシンバが王国へ戻りに向かってることを聞き、彼の後を追った。

帰還したシンバはスカーと対決しようとした。しかし、スカーは「お前のせいで父親が死んだ。その父親をお前が殺した！」とシンバをなじって崖に突き飛ばし、燃え上がる炎に落とそうとした。その光景を見たスカーは冥途の土産に「俺がムファサを殺した」と耳元で暴露する。それを聞いて激怒したシンバは崖から脱出してスカーに襲いかかる。みんなの前で真実を言わざるを得なくなったスカーはハイエナ達に後詰をさせて逃げ惑うものの、とうとうシンバに追い詰められてしまった。弱気になったスカーは「真実の敵はハイエナだ」と命乞いをして見逃してもらうとするが、シンバにはそんな見え透いた嘘は通じなかった。「無力な叔父を殺す気か？」と弱音を吐くスカーにシンバは「お前とは違う」と言い放つ。それを聞いて命拾いしたスカーは何でもすると言うが、シンバが言い渡したのは永久追放だった。スカーは出ていくフリをしてシンバを油断させ襲いかかるが、一瞬の隙を突かれそのまま崖から突き落とされた。スカーが起き上がるとそこにはハイエナ達が待ち伏せしていた。ホッとしたスカーは「真実の友よ」とつぶやくが、前述の命乞いを全てハイエナ達に聞かれており、ハイエナ達からも愛想を尽かされ、食い殺されてしまった。

スカーが倒されたことでプライド・ランドに平和が戻り、シンバは勝利の雄たけびを上げた。そして、シンバはプライド・ランドの新たな王となり、ナラと結婚して、その間に子供が産まれた。

Plot

In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rule over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock. King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi’s newborn son, Simba, is presented to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom’s shaman and advisor. Mufasa’s younger brother, Scar, covets the throne.

After Simba grows into a cub, Mufasa shows him the Pride Lands and explains the responsibilities of kingship and the “circle of life,” which connects all living things. Scar tricks Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring an elephant graveyard, and are chased by three hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. Mufasa is alerted by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. Though disappointed with Simba for disobeying him and putting himself and Nala in danger, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. Scar, having planned the attack, visits the hyenas and convinces them to help him kill Mufasa and Simba in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands.

Scar sets a trap for Simba and Mufasa, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede to trample him. Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge’s edge; he begs for Scar’s help, but Scar throws Mufasa back into the stampede to his death. Scar tricks Simba into thinking that the event was his fault and tells him to leave the kingdom and never return. Once Simba flees, Scar orders the hyenas to kill Simba, but Simba escapes. Unaware of Simba’s survival, Scar tells the pride that the stampede killed Mufasa and Simba and steps forward as the new king, allowing the hyenas into the Pride Lands.

After Simba collapses in a desert, he is rescued by two outcasts, a meerkat and warthog named Timon and Pumbaa. Simba grows up with his two new friends in their oasis, living a carefree life under their motto “hakuna matata” (“no worries” in Swahili). Years later, an adult Simba rescues Timon and Pumbaa from a hungry lioness, who turns out to be Nala. She and Simba fall in love, and she urges him to return home, telling him that the Pride Lands have become drought-stricken under Scar’s reign. Still feeling guilty over Mufasa’s death, Simba refuses and storms off. He encounters Rafiki, who tells Simba that Mufasa’s spirit lives on in him. Simba is visited by the spirit of Mufasa in the night sky, who tells him that he must take his place as king. Realizing he can either learn from his past or run from it, Simba decides to return to the Pride Lands.

Aided by his friends, Simba sneaks past the hyenas at Pride Rock and confronts Scar. Scar taunts Simba over his role in Mufasa’s death and backs him to the edge of the rock, where he reveals to Simba that he is the one who caused Mufasa’s death. Enraged, Simba retaliates and forces Scar to reveal the truth to the rest of the pride. A battle breaks out, and Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses fend off the hyenas. Scar attempts to escape, but is cornered by Simba at a ledge near the top of Pride Rock. Scar begs for mercy and blames his actions on the hyenas; Simba spares Scar’s life but, quoting what Scar told him long ago, orders Scar to leave the Pride Lands forever. Scar attacks again, but after a brief battle Simba throws him off the ledge to the ground below. Scar survives the fall, but the hyenas, who overheard him blaming them, maul him to death.

Simba takes his place as king and Nala becomes his queen. With the Pride Lands restored, Rafiki presents Simba and Nala’s newborn daughter, Kiara, to the assembled animals, continuing the circle of life.

In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rule over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock. King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi present their newborn son, Simba, to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom’s shaman and advisor.

Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the “circle of life,” which connects all living things. Mufasa’s younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to get rid of Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king. One day, Simba and his best friend Nala explore an elephant graveyard, where they are chased by a clan of spotted hyenas led by the ruthless Shenzi. Mufasa hears about the incident from his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. Though upset with Simba for disobeying him and putting himself and Nala in danger, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. Meanwhile, Scar, who planned the whole thing, visits the hyenas and convinces them to help him overthrow Mufasa in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands.

Scar sets a trap for his brother and nephew, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede that will trample him. He informs Mufasa of Simba’s peril, knowing that he will rush to save him. Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge’s edge. Scar refuses to help Mufasa, instead sending him falling to his death. He then tricks Simba into thinking that the tragedy was his fault and tells him to leave the Pride Lands and never return. He orders the hyenas to kill him, but Simba escapes. Scar tells the pride that the stampede killed Mufasa and Simba and steps forward as the new king, allowing the hyenas to live in the Pride Lands.

Two outcasts, Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and warthog, rescue Simba, who collapses in a desert. Simba grows up in the oasis with his two new friends and other animals, living a carefree life under the motto “hakuna matata” (“no worries” in Swahili).

A grown-up Simba rescues Timon and Pumbaa from a hungry lioness, who turns out to be Nala. She and Simba reunite and fall in love, and she urges him to return home, telling him that the Pride Lands have become a drought-stricken wasteland under Scar’s reign. Out of guilt of supposedly causing his father’s death, Simba refuses and storms off. He then encounters Rafiki, who tells him that Mufasa’s spirit lives on in Simba. Simba visits the ghost of Mufasa in the night sky, who tells him that he must take his rightful place as king. Realizing that he’d been running from his past for too long, Simba decides to return to the Pride Lands.

Aided by his friends, Simba sneaks past the hyenas at Pride Rock and confronts Scar, who was about to fight Sarabi. Scar taunts Simba over his role in Mufasa’s death and backs him to the edge of the rock, where he reveals to him that he murdered Mufasa. Enraged, Simba tells the truth to the rest of the pride. Scar attempts to defend himself, but his knowledge of Mufasa’s last moment (despite having previously claimed that he arrived too late at the gorge) exposes his role in Mufasa’s death. Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses fend off the hyenas while Scar, attempting to escape, is cornered at a ledge near the top of Pride Rock. Scar begs for mercy and attempts to blame his crimes on the hyenas; Simba spares his life but orders him to leave the Pride Lands forever. Scar refuses and attacks his nephew, but Simba throws him off the cliff after a brief fight. Scar survives the fall but gets attacked and mauled to death by the hyenas, who overheard his attempt to betray them. Afterward, Simba takes over the kingship and makes Nala his queen.

With the Pride Lands restored to its usual state, Rafiki presents Simba and Nala’s newborn cub to the assembled animals, continuing the circle of life.

Gameplay[edit]

The Lion King is a side-scrolling platform game in which players control the protagonist, Simba, through the events of the film, going through both child and adult forms as the game progresses. In the first half of the game, players control Simba as a cub, who primarily defeats enemies by jumping on them. Simba’ roar consumes a replenishable meter, and can be used to stun enemies or solve puzzles. In the second half of the game, Simba becomes an adult and gains access to various combat moves such as scratching, mauling, and throws. In either form, Simba loses a life if he runs out of health or encounters an instant-death obstacle, such as a bottomless pit or a rolling boulder.

The player can collect various types of bugs. Some bugs restore Simba’s health and roar meters, other more rare bugs can increase these meters for the remainder of the game, and black spiders reduce Simba’s health. By finding certain bugs hidden in certain levels, the player enters bonus levels as Timon and Pumbaa to earn extra lives and continues. In Pumbaa’s stages, he collects falling bugs and items until either one hits the bottom of the screen or he eats a bad bug, and in Timon’s stages, he hunts for bugs within a time limit while avoiding spiders.

Development[edit]

The sprites and backgrounds were drawn by Disney animators at Walt Disney Feature Animation, and the music was adapted from songs and orchestrations in the film soundtrack. Game designer Louis Castle revealed that two levels, Hakuna Matata and Be Prepared, were adapted from scenes that were scrapped from the final movie.^[5]

An Amiga 1200 version was developed with assembly language in two months by Dave Semmons, who was willing to take on the conversion if he received the Genesis source code. He had assumed the game to be programmed in 68000 assembly, and the Amiga and Genesis share the same Motorola CPU family, but he found it had been written in C, a language he was unfamiliar with.^[6]

Westwood Studios developed the game for SNES, Genesis, and Amiga. Other conversions were outsourced to different studios. East Point Software ported it to MS-DOS, adding enhanced music and sound effects. The Sega Master System and Game Gear versions were developed by Syrox Developments, and the NES and Game Boy versions were developed by Dark Technologies.

The game had a marketing budget of $8 million^[7] from a total budget of $20 million.^[7]

Re-release[edit]

The SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy versions were included with Aladdin as part of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King, released for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows on October 29, 2019. The compilation was later updated as Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, which includes the SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy versions of The Jungle Book and the SNES version of Aladdin. It was released on November 23, 2021.^[8]

Introduced in The Lion King (1994)[edit]

Simba[edit]

Simba (voiced by Matthew Broderick as adult Simba in the films, Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a cub in The Lion King, Matt Weinberg as a cub in The Lion King 1½, Cam Clarke in Timon & Pumbaa, Rob Lowe in The Lion Guard, Donald Glover in the 2019 film, JD McCrary as a cub in the 2019 film) is the protagonist of The Lion King franchise. He is the son of Mufasa and Sarabi, Scar’s nephew, Nala’s mate, and Kiara and Kion’s father as well as Rani and Kovu’s father-in-law. After defeating Scar, Simba takes Mufasa’s place as King of Pride Rock before marrying Nala and having Kiara and Kion with her. His name means “lion” in Swahili.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, Simba is an overprotective parent of Kiara and obtains a great hatred of the Outsiders, a group of lions led by a lioness named Zira, whom he exiled due to their loyalty to Scar, specifically Scar’s protege Kovu, before learning to let go of his hate and accepting Kovu as his son-in-law.

In The Lion Guard, Simba fathers Kion, and initially refuses to accept Kion’s decision to allow non-lion animals into the Lion Guard but later accepts his proposal. Currently in the show, after a failed attempt on Simba’s life, orchestrated by the spirit of Scar, Simba, and Kion plot to defeat him once again and for all. As of season three, Scar’s ghost has been defeated and his followers have become neutral under the rule of Jasiri, who becomes the new Outlands leader. However, due to a facial wound caused by a snake bite during the battle, Kion journeys to find the Tree of Life, to get healed. Simba bids his son farewell on his trip. He later welcomes Kion home following his journey and accepts his love to Rani of the Night Pride by accepting her as his daughter-in-law after Kion and Rani’s marriage and after Kion’s coronation as King of the Tree of Life.

Nala[edit]

Nala (voiced by Moira Kelly in the films, Niketa Calame as a cub in The Lion King, Gabrielle Union in The Lion Guard, Beyoncé in the 2019 film, and Shahadi Wright Joseph as a cub in the 2019 film) is the daughter of Sarafina, the best friend and later mate of Simba, and Kiara and Kion’s mother. She is also Rani and Kovu’s mother-in-law by the end of the second film and the third season of The Lion Guard. Although she is a prominent character in The Lion King, she makes minor appearances in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, The Lion King 1½, and The Lion Guard.

In The Lion King, she is portrayed as Simba’s childhood friend (whom she is betrothed to when they were born and younger infants by their parents) After helping Simba enter the elephant graveyard, she has to be rescued by her future father-in-law, Mufasa when the hyenas attack them. Several years later, Nala encounters Simba as a young adult and develops a relationship with him. After returning to Pride Rock, she helps Simba defeat Scar and take his rightful place as King of Pride Rock afterwards she becomes Simba’s wife and mate as well as his Queen . In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, Nala is depicted as slightly older, calmer, and less overprotective of Kiara than her mate, Simba. But she was the only one who has support her daughter’s relationship with Kovu by the end of the second film, she and Simba are presented at their daughter’s wedding and she accepts her son-in-law into her family as well as her new king of the Pride Lands. During the three seasons of The Lion Guard, she has a second cub; a male lion named Kion. By the end of the series, (like Simba) she accepts her son’s marriage to the Queen of the Tree of Life and leader of the Night Pride, Queen Rani while gaining her as her daughter-in-law.

Timon and Pumbaa[edit]

Timon (voiced by Nathan Lane in the films and the TV series Timon & Pumbaa, Quinton Flynn in earlier episodes of the TV series Timon & Pumbaaa, Kevin Schon in both later episodes of the TV series Timon & Pumbaa and The Lion Guard, Bruce Lanoil in the video games, Billy Eichner in the 2019 film) and Pumbaa (voiced by Ernie Sabella in the films, TV series Timon & Pumbaa, and The Lion Guard, Leslie Hedger in Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure, Seth Rogen in the 2019 film) are a meerkat and common warthog duo; Timon being a insouciant, yet trustworthy friend, while Pumbaa is greedy, yet courageous.

When they first meet Simba in The Lion King, they save an unconscious Simba from a flock of vultures. They take him in and bring him to their home in an oasis. Later, after Simba grows up and returns to the Pride Lands to battle Scar, they help Simba stop Scar’s tyrannical reign and the two become Simba’s royal advisors.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, Timon and Pumbaa are assigned by Simba to keep watch over his daughter Kiara when she goes to play in The Pride Lands and later on her first hunt. They later aid Simba and his pride in the fight against Scar’s vengeful follower Zira and her pride the Outsiders. After the Outsiders reform and rejoin Simba’s pride, Timon and Pumbaa look on as Kiara marries Zira’s son Kovu.

Although they are supporting characters in the first two films, they are featured as the main characters in The Lion King 1½ as well as in the TV series Timon & Pumbaa.

As revealed in the TV series The Lion Guard, they are the adoptive uncles of the honey badger Bunga and make their home at Hakuna Matata Falls.

In the 2019 film, Timon and Pumbaa had different animals as their neighbors in the oasis like a flock of guineafowl (one of them is voiced by Amy Sedaris), a galago (voiced by Chance the Rapper), an elephant shrew (voiced by Josh McCrary), a topi (voiced by Phil LaMarr) that has an awkward conversation with Simba, a bat-eared fox, an aardvark, a greater kudu, some dik-diks, and some Thomson’s gazelles.

Scar[edit]

Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons in The Lion King, Jim Cummings in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and The Lion King: Simba’s Mighty Adventure, James Horan in Kingdom Hearts II, Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure, and Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, David Oyelowo in The Lion Guard, Chiwetel Ejiofor in the 2019 film, Kelvin Harrison Jr. in the follow-up for the 2019 film) is the main antagonist of The Lion King franchise. He is a black-maned lion who is Mufasa’s younger brother, Nala’s uncle-in-law, Simba’s uncle, Sarabi’s brother-in-law, Kiara and Kion’s great-uncle, and Kovu’s adoptive father. His name is “kovu” in Swahili, similar to his adoptive son. In The Lion King, by murdering Mufasa and exiling Simba, he becomes “King of the Pride Lands”. However, years later, Simba returns to Pride Rock and overthrows Scar to become King of the Pride Lands. Scar survives the fall but is attacked and killed by his hyena henchmen after they overheard him betraying them.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, it is revealed that Scar had gained loyalty from a group of lions who were exiled from Pride Rock by Simba to The Outlands in the wake of Scar’s death, with Scar’s most loyal follower, Zira, being their leader. Scar is mentioned several times by the characters but makes two cameos. His first appearance is during Simba’s nightmare, where he morphs into his adoptive son Kovu and throws Simba into the stampede that killed Mufasa, similarly to the first film. His second appearance is during Kovu’s exile in which Kovu looks into his reflection and instead of his, he sees the image of his adoptive father. At the end of the film, Kovu marries Kiara, Simba and Nala’s daughter, and Scar’s great-niece, and becomes Simba and Nala’s son-in-law and successor.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar reveals that Scar was once the leader of the titular group and once possessed the Roar of the Elders. Scar lost the Roar after using it to destroy the other members of his Lion Guard (after they refused to help him overthrow Mufasa as king), as the Roar is meant to be used for good and not evil. In season two, Simba’s son and the new leader of The Lion Guard Kion unknowingly summons Scar back as a fiery spirit in a volcano after using the Roar in anger when Janja the hyena provokes him. Scar then conspires with the animals in the Outlands to take over the Pride Lands and defeat the new Lion Guard and Simba, who were initially unaware that Scar had returned. Later in the season, Kion and the guard find out that Scar has returned, while they are in the Outlands getting volcanic ash needed to cure Simba of a scorpion sting. In season three’s one-hour premiere Battle for the Pride Lands, Scar continues to battle the Lion Guard, who are now adolescents. It is also revealed that Scar got his scar after being bitten by a cobra as an adolescent while befriending a rogue lion from the Outlands. In anger, Scar used the Roar to kill the lion and snake, however, Mufasa teased his brother and gave him the nickname of Scar, leading to Scar plotting to dethrone Mufasa. At the end of Battle for the Pride Lands, Kion summons the Great Kings of the Past to rain upon Scar, thus destroying him once and for all.

In the 2019 film, Scar told Zazu to get help to rescue Simba while he goes to help him. This was a cover-up so that Scar can kill Mufasa. When Mufasa is dead and Simba has fled, Scar takes over as the ruler of the Pride Lands while allowing the hyenas to work with the lions. This led to overhunting. When Sarabi refuses to become Scar’s mate, Scar makes things worse by having the hyenas eat first and they don’t leave much behind. By the second advancement, Scar struck down Sarabi when she mentioned Mufasa. Like the films, Scar fought Simba and tried to blame Mufasa’s death on the hyenas. When Scar is thrown off of Pride Rock, he survived the fall and was confronted by the hyenas. Scar states to them that if they build an army, they’ll retake the Pride Lands. Azizi and Kamari state that they heard the insult towards them. Scar claims that he was trying to fool Simba and that there can still be a partnership between lions and hyenas. Shenzi states to Scar that he was right about a hyena’s belly never being full. Scar strikes at some of the attacking hyenas until they swarm over him and kill him.

Mufasa[edit]

Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones in the films and the 2019 film, Gary Anthony Williams in The Lion Guard) is Scar’s older brother, Sarabi’s mate, Simba’s father, Nala’s father-in-law, and Kion and Kiara’s paternal grandfather who is introduced as the King of the Pride Lands. The name “Mufasa” has an unknown origin, previously attributed to a fictional language called Manazoto. Mufasa is depicted as a just, wise, and responsible leader, a gentle but firm father, and a strong and fierce protector when sufficiently provoked. In The Lion King, he teaches Simba what a king is supposed to be, and how the king is responsible for protecting and maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem, and mediate problems between its creatures. However, Mufasa later dies after being thrown into a wildebeest stampede by Scar while rescuing Simba. He returns years later as a spirit in the clouds to encourage an older Simba to return to the Pride Lands and reclaim his rightful throne.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, he instructs Rafiki to bring Kiara, Simba’s daughter, and Kovu, Scar’s heir, together to reunite the two lion prides.

In The Lion Guard, Mufasa serves as a spirit guide to his grandson Kion when he needs advice, and sometimes appears on his own when he notices he is troubled by something. When Kion is a teenager, Kion fights against Scar’s spirit and his army, winning, but gets bit by Ushari, who gave him a scar on his eye. As a result, during the journey to the Tree of Life, the adolescent lion stops communicating with his grandfather due to issues with his scar and personal concerns about turning evil like Scar, and Mufasa has become worried that he forgot about him, just like Simba did years ago when he became an adult. When they finally talk again, Mufasa reassures Kion that he would always be here for him no matter what, showing that regardless of his grandson’s scar, he still loves him dearly. Alongside Askari and the previous queen of the Tree of Life, Janna, he proudly watches over Kion after his marriage to Rani by accepting her as his paternal granddaughter-in-law. Jones reprised his role in the pilot episode, but the character was voiced by Gary Anthony Williams in subsequent appearances.

Lion King Directors Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff have described Jones’s voice as powerful and similar to the roar of a lion.^{[citation needed]}

Jones reprises his role in the 2019 remake of the film directed by Jon Favreau.^[1] According to Favreau, Jones’s lines remain mostly the same from the original film.^[2][3] Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Scar in the film, said that “the comfort of [Jones reprising his role] is going to be very rewarding in taking [the audience] on this journey again. It’s a once-in-a-generation vocal quality”.^[2]

In August 2021, it was announced that Aaron Pierre will voice young Mufasa in Barry Jenkins follow-up to the 2019 film called Mufasa: The Lion King.^[4]

Zazu[edit]

Zazu (voiced by Rowan Atkinson in The Lion King; Jim Piddock in Timon and Pumbaa’s Jungle Games and The Lion King Simba’s Mighty Adventure; Michael Gough in Timon & Pumbaa; Edward Hibbert in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and The Lion King 1½; Jeff Bennett in The Lion Guard; John Oliver in the 2019 film) is a red-billed hornbill^[5] and majordomo to Mufasa and later Simba. After Mufasa’s death, Zazu becomes a prisoner of Scar before Pumbaa breaks the bone cage, releasing him when Simba returns to the Pride Lands. He eventually acts as a scout and advises Simba on royal protocol.

In Timon & Pumbaa, it is revealed that Zazu is not only a lion king’s majordomo; he is a jungle administrator. In the episode “Zazu’s Off-By-One Day”, he is shown to be responsible for counting the population of the animals.

In the musical, Zazu is a puppet controlled by an actor dressed in blue striped clothes and a bowler hat, much like a stereotypical butler. Zazu’s blue feathers have been replaced with white and the puppet is partially constructed from parachute silk with a slinky contained in the neck for ease in movement.^[6]

Also appearing in the 2019 remake of The Lion King, Zazu plays the same role as in the original version, but this time, he is introduced to Timon and Pumbaa and helps out in the battle by pecking Kamari numerous times.

Rafiki[edit]

Rafiki (voiced by Robert Guillaume in most media prior to his death in 2017; Khary Payton in The Lion Guard; John Kani in the 2019 film & Mufasa: The Lion King), whose name means “friend” in Swahili, is a West African-accented mandrill with an unnaturally long tail. He lives in a baobab tree in the Pride Lands and performs shamanistic services for the lions of Pride Rock. He’s also shown to be a great martial artist.

In The Lion King, Rafiki is introduced in the opening scene when he travels to Pride Rock to perform newborn Simba’s presentation ceremony. During the film, Rafiki sings a nonsense chant: “Asante sana, squash banana, wewe nugu, mimi hapana.” This is a Swahili playground rhyme that translates to “Thank you very much (squash banana), you’re a baboon and I’m not!” Like “hakuna matata” (no worries), the chant was heard by the filmmakers on their research trip to Kenya. Rafiki travels to the jungle where Simba lives with Timon and Pumbaa and teaches him lessons about learning from the past: “Yes, the past can hurt but, the way I see it you can either run from it, or learn from it” and then whacks him with his stick. During the battle for Pride Rock, Rafiki saves Simba from Banzai by whacking him with his stick, while fighting many more hyenas. At the end of the film, Rafiki presents Simba and Nala’s newborn cub.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, Rafiki is more closely involved with the affairs and politics of the pride and is often seen with the lions. Mufasa’s spirit persuades him to bring Simba’s daughter Kiara and Zira’s son Kovu together as a way of uniting the Outsiders with pride. Rafiki tries to make them fall in love by singing to them about a place called “Upendi”, which means “love” in Swahili. In the end, he blesses the union of Kovu and Kiara, and Kovu is welcomed into the pride. Rafiki appears briefly in The Lion King 1½, teaching Timon the philosophy of “Hakuna Matata“, talking to Timon’s mother about her son, and later convincing Timon to follow Simba to Pride Rock to confront Scar.

In the musical, the character of Rafiki was significantly modified. Because director Julie Taymor felt that the story lacked a strong female character, Rafiki was changed into a female mandrill and sangoma. She acts as narrator throughout the story, at one point speaking to the audience in a click language for comic effect. She sings the opening song “Circle of Life“, a keening song called “Rafiki Mourns” following Mufasa’s death, and a brief part in Nala’s song “Shadowland” when she blesses Nala for her journey to find help. Instead of detecting Simba’s scent on dust, Rafiki hears Simba’s song “Endless Night” on the wind. Rafiki finds Simba and shows him that his father lives on in him through the song “He Lives in You“. She is present during the battle, fighting a hyena, and adorns Simba with the king’s mantle after his victory; the play ends with her at the presentation of Simba and Nala’s newborn cub.

Rafiki serves as a supporting character in the Timon and Pumbaa TV series, as well as the main character of said series as he has his own segments called “Rafiki Fables”, where his shamanism is expanded. In the episode “Good Mousekeeping”, it is revealed that Rafiki can grant wishes and can even take some of the wishes back. In another episode “Rafiki’s Apprentice”, Rafiki’s stick is revealed to have magical powers. He explains to his nephew Nefu (voiced by Dana Hill) that the gourds on his stick are powerful for his magic.

Rafiki serves as a recurring character in The Lion Guard.

Rafiki is a meetable character at the Disney Parks and Resorts along with Timon, and can be found in Adventureland and at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Sarabi[edit]

Sarabi (voiced by Madge Sinclair in The Lion King as her penultimate theatrical film released posthumously, Alfre Woodard in the 2019 film) is Mufasa’s wife, Simba’s mother, Nala’s mother-in-law, Scar’s sister-in-law and Kiara and Kion’s paternal grandmother. Her name means “mirage” in Swahili. In The Lion King, she serves as the Queen of Pride Rock. Years after Scar usurps the throne, Sarabi helps Simba fight against Scar and his hyenas. When Simba defeats Scar, Nala becomes Queen and Sarabi becomes the Queen mother.

In the 2019 film following Mufasa’s death, Scar tries to get Sarabi to be his mate. However, she turns down his advances.

Sarafina[edit]

Sarafina (voiced by Zoe Leader in The Lion King, Penny Johnson Jerald in the 2019 film) is a lioness who is Nala’s mother, Simba’s mother-in-law, Kiara and Kion’s maternal grandmother, Rani and Kovu’s maternal grandmother-in-law and Sarabi’s friend. She is first seen sleeping inside Pride Rock with Nala and the rest of the pride. She later cleans Nala before the latter leaves to go to the Elephant Graveyard with Simba. She makes her final appearance mourning the loss of Mufasa and Simba, unaware that Simba is still alive.

In the 2019 film, Sarafina’s role is still the same. When the hyenas arrived at Pride Rock following Mufasa’s death, Sarafina told Nala to stay close to her.

Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed[edit]

Shenzi (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg in the animated films; Tress MacNeille in Timon & Pumbaa and Kingdom Hearts II; Jenifer Lewis in Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom; Florence Kasumba in the 2019 film), Banzai (voiced by Cheech Marin in the animated films, Kingdom Hearts II, and Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom; and Rob Paulsen in Timon & Pumbaa, and The Lion King: Simba’s Mighty Adventure) and Ed (voiced by Jim Cummings) are the three spotted hyenas who serve as Scar’s lead henchmen and reside in the Elephant Graveyard. After Scar promises them and the rest of their fellow hyenas that they will have food in return for them helping him get rid of his brother Mufasa and nephew Simba to become King of the Pride Lands, the three hyenas trigger the wildebeest stampede which kills Mufasa and then chase Simba out of the Pride Lands on Scar’s orders. When Simba returns to Pride Rock, Shenzi and Banzai are defeated by Pumbaa. The three turn on Scar when the latter tries to blame them for Mufasa’s death and the ruin of the Pride Lands, and lead the rest of the hyenas into eating him alive during a wildfire.

Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed serve as main characters and antiheroes in Timon & Pumbaa. They are given their own segments titled “The Laughing Hyenas” where they wander around the Serengeti looking for food. At the end of the episode “TV Dinner”, the hyenas replace television host Martin Pardon, which may indicate that they are living a new life as directors and stars of the wildlife documentary show Kingdom of the Creatures, where they get fed during their new career. In later seasons, they made minor appearances trying to attack Timon and Pumbaa.

In The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, it was only mentioned by Nuka that the hyenas have left the Elephant Graveyard. However, in the original draft of The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were going to return as Zira’s henchmen, with Cheech Marin reprising his role as Banzai, Whoopi Goldberg returning as Shenzi, and Jim Cummings coming back as Ed from the original film.

In The Lion King 1½, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed act as the local predators who attack Timon’s meerkat colony before their allegiance with Scar.

Shenzi (voiced by Florence Kasumba) appears in the CGI remake complete with a different personality. She is portrayed as a ruthless and cunning matriarch with a no-nonsense attitude and air of authority. She is also shown to have a rivalry with Nala. Ed was replaced with Azizi (voiced by Eric André), and Banzai was replaced with Kamari (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key). Nevertheless, these two play largely similar roles to those of Ed and Banzai in the original film, except Azizi can speak. Azizi bugged Kamari by accidentally getting too close to him. As in the original film, Shenzi, Azizi, and Kamari hear the insult that Scar uses on them. When Scar is defeated and the hyena pack confronts him, Scar states that they can retake the Pride Lands if they build an army. Azizi and Kamari state that they heard the insult he used on them. Scar claims that he was trying to fool Simba and that there can still be a partnership between lions and hyenas. Shenzi quotes “There’s only one true thing you ever said, Scar. A hyena’s belly is never full.” The hyenas’ attack as Scar strikes at some of them before the hyenas swarm over Scar and kill him.

In the original draft of the film, the hyenas were African wild dogs, referred to as “Cape dogs” in the film.^[7] Their species may have been changed to illustrate the strong rivalry and competition between lions and hyenas in real life, where the competition is much stronger than between lions and other African savannah predators.

Mole[edit]

Mole (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a mole who works for Zazu as an informant. In the film, he is seen warning Zazu that the hyenas have invaded the Pride Lands.

Mole appeared in two segments starring Zazu in Timon & Pumbaa.
