Plot – The mighty lion Mufasa, the savannah’s king, is celebrating the birth of his heir Simba with his wife Sarabi. The shaman baboon Rafiki shows him to the varied crowd of animals that rejoices at the foot of the throne, a high cliff. However, the evil and jealous Scar, Mufasa's brother, plots to kill his brother and his nephew in order to accede to the throne with the help of the hyenas. Simba runs away after escaping to a series of accidents caused by the mean uncle, including being falsely accused of Mufasa’s death. Left alone, the lion cub is adopted by Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog. They encourage him to live by the philosophy of “Hakuna Matata”, the local motto that means 'without worries'. Time passes by and Simba grows up, forgetting about his social class. His childhood friend Nala - escaped from the devastating situation of her pride, with Scar and the hyenas that dominate the savannah - and Rafiki - that makes the shadow of Mufasa appear to encourage Simba to fight - convince the young heir of the throne to go back to his homeland. In this way, he can reestablish the harmony and the beauty of the past in the savannah.

- Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
- Timon: Pumbaa,...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Pumbaa: Anything we can do?

Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries".
“Mufasa's death was a terrible tragedy; but to lose Simba, who had barely begun to live... For me it is a deep personal loss. So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet, out of the ashes of this tragedy, we shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era... in which lion and hyena come together, in a great and glorious future!”
“What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?”

- Simba: I finally got some sense knocked into me. And I've got the bump to prove it.”“- Mufasa: Simba, you have forgotten me.
- Simba: No. How could I?
- Mufasa: You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of life.”“Going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long.”
“- Young Simba: Everything the light touches... What about that shadowy place?
- Mufasa: That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.

- Young Simba: Really?
- Mufasa: Yes. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.”“- Zazu: Checking in with the morning report.
- Mufasa: Fire away.
- Zazu: Well the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot. And the baboons are going ape over this. Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all... The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't....” (continue)(continue reading)“Slimy yet satisfying.”
“- Timon: Gee. He looks blue.
- Pumbaa: I'd say brownish-gold.
- Timon: No, no, no. I mean he's depressed.
- Pumbaa: Oh.”“- Mufasa: Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
