Lion King Story

The song, "Circle of Life" is playing... 
Mufasa, the king of the pride lands, and his wife, Sarabi, have a new born lion cub that is named Simba. At the ceremony, Rafiki, a wise baboon, introduces Simba by holding him up so all of the other animals will honor Simba, the future king. 

The scene cuts to Scar, Mufasa's younger brother who wishes he was king. The scene goes on to show that Scar catches a mouse to eat but plays with his food instead. Zazu, a dodo that is a helper towards Mufasa, tells Scar not to play with his food. Scar then tries to eat Zazu and puts him in his mouth. Mufasa's voice comes in telling Scar to drop Zazu. Mufasa and Scar have a little chat about Scar not being at the ceremony. It turns into a little argument then Scar leaves with a suspicious look on his face. 

On a new day, Simba wants Mufasa to show him the lands and explain to him that he will be king someday. Afterwards, Simba goes to visit his Uncle Scar when Scar tells Simba not to go to the elephant graveyard where the hyenas live. But that's exactly what Scar wants him to do. Simba goes back to where all of the other lionesses are to tell his best friend, Nala, to come see a cool place. It's alright with Sarabi and Sarafina, Nala's mother, as long as Zazu goes with them. Disappionted, Nala and Simba find a way to ditch the dodo. Zazu and Simba have a little chat about Simba being the future king. Simba then sings, "I Just Can't Wait To Be King"... 

Nala and Simba ditch Zazu and make it to the elephant graveyard. Unfortunatley, Simba makes the hyenas mad so the hyenas chase the cubs. The two young cubs come to a dead end. Simba tries his best roar to scare away the hyenas but his roar is a little weak. The hyenas laugh and ask him to do it again. Right when Simba roars, a louder, stronger roar overlaps Simba's roar which make the hyenas confused. It turns out to be Mufasa who scares away the hyenas. Mufasa is very furious with Simba because he told Simba never to go the graveyard so he takes him and Nala home. 

Simba and Mufasa have a little discussion about dangerous things and it turns into a little chat about being king. The scene cuts to Scar and the hyenas. They all have a discussion on how Scar should be king so they think up a plan to kill Mufasa and Simba. Scar then sings, "Be Prepared"... 

Scar and the hyenas plan out a way to kill Simba. Scar takes Simba to a gorge where there is hardly any escape for a young cub. Scar says he has a surprise and leaves Simba by himself. After a while, Simba hears loud stomping a sees a stampede coming towards him. He starts running for his life. The scene cuts to Scar seeming afraid and telling Mufasa that there is a stampede in the gorge and Simba is down there. Mufasa and Zazu race to save Simba. When they get there, Simba is holding onto a low tree branch. Mufasa saves Simba. When Mufasa is trying to climb up the rocky hill he cries for Scar to help him. Scar grabs Mufasa's paws, and whispers "Long...live...the king..." into Mufasa's ear then lets go of his paws. Mufasa falls into the stampede and gets killed. 

Scar then tells Simba to run far, far away and never come back. As well as he tells the hyenas to kill Simba. Once again, Simba runs for his life. Fortunately, Simba gets away while Banzai, a hyena, gets nicknamed, "Cactus-Butt" for have cactus needles stuck in his butt while trying to kill Simba. The scene cuts to Simba fainted in the middle of nowhere when a warthog named, Pumbaa, and a meerkat named, Timon save him and provide him with shelter, food, and water. Timon and Pumbaa teach Simba the motto " Hakuna Matata" meaning "no worries". Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba all sing, "Hakuna Matata"... The scene shows Simba growing up into an adult while living with Timon and Pumbaa. 

The scene cuts back to the pride lands where Scar is seems to be king and is announcing Simba and Mufasa's death. The lionesses are unhappy. The scene then cuts to Timon and Pumbaa singing, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" when Pumbaa sees a bug and follows it, leaving Timon singing by himself. While Pumbaa is about to catch the bug he hears something. He looks and it is a lioness trying to kill him. Right when the lioness is about to kill Pumbaa, Simba comes into the scene and fights with the lioness. The lioness turns out to be Nala. Simba and Nala have alone time to catch up on things since they havn't seen each other in a long time. The song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is playing... 

Then, Simba and Nala have a chat when Simba forgets that he has to take responsibility to be king. It turns into a fight when Simba runs away from Nala to think about the motto "Hakuna Matata" which reminds him that there is "no worries" and he doesn't have any responsibility. Rafiki comes into the scene. Simba doesn't know who Rafiki is but Rafiki, knowing who Simba is, tells Simba he knows Mufasa. Simba doesn't believe Rafiki but Rafiki proves it by showing Simba his reflection in the water if he looks really hard. Rafiki then tells Simba, "He lives in you" Simba then realizes that he does have responsibility and returns to the pride lands. The scene cuts to Nala asking Timon and Pumbaa if they know where Simba went and Rafiki tells Nala that the king "has returned". Timon and Pumbaa are confused so Nala explains that, "Simba has gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king". 

When Simba returns, he has to come up with a plan to distract the hyenas so he can get to Scar. So Timon and Pumbaa, "create a diversion" and sing "The Hula Song". The hyenas get distracted and chase Timon and Pumbaa while Nala rallies up the lionesses. Scar tells Simba to tell everyone the truth. Living his whole life thinking that he was responsible for Mufasa's death, Simba says that he murdered his own father which is not true. Simba and Scar fight when Simba, resembling Mufasa's death, is hanging from a rocky cliff when Scar holds onto Simba's paws and whispers, "now here's my little secret.......i.....killed.....Mufasa". Right before Scar lets go, Simba jumps on top of Scar choking him and screams, "MURDERER!" and forces Scar to tell everyone the real truth that Scar is the murderer and is responsible for Mufasa's death. The lionesses and hyenas fight. When Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed and all of the other hyenas find out that Scar was just using them, they kill Scar. 

Simba then assumes his rightful place...to be King. The ending scene shows Nala and Simba and their new born lion cub..the circle of life has been complete...
