He ultimately has a single purpose in his life, and it becomes very clear. You know what that it, right?

They continuously sabotage under the order of a certain someone and they have no problem carrying out murderous acts.

I bet you know how many main ones there are.

Question 18

Who do the hyenas work for?

Continuing on my distasteful rant about these hyenas; they have been banished to the out lands, past the borders of the pride land. They hold no fidelity to anyone, so being that they happen to be a certain someones' henchmen, keeps the audience nervous. Disney has sure given us a lot of characters to dislike in this animation and these are definitely at the top of the list along with their "temporary" overlord. Do you know who their leader/ partner in crime happens to be?

Question 19

Where does Scar sing his infamous song “ Be prepared”?

This song, along with all of The Lion King songs, has become a famous song known around the world. It is full of sass, cruelty and excitement. The content of the song is extremely self-centered and wicked! But we can't help loving it. It's just so catchy and it makes you wanna dance!

Who assumes the throne after Mufasa’s death?

Mufasa's death was a true tragedy for most of the Pride Lands. Life in the pride lands would take a turn for the worse and many would suffer for years to come.

It was actually because of the knew ruler who proclaimed himself the rightful heir to pride rock and carried out his own selfish plans for the pride lands. Does this sound like a character that you know?

Question 23

After young Simba runs away from guilt, who discovers him

This scene pretty much left you wondering if there would be any hope for this poor young cub.

Once Simba is discovered by his new found friends. He must change a lot of things to fit in with his new pals and their way of life. That means he must forget his past and take on a new life. Well, at least that's what h thinks he is supposed to do. So that also meant changing his diet. And his new menu didn't include his usual favorites. It included a unique and exotic cuisine. I'm sure you know what it is. It even came with it's own expression "Slimy, yet satisfying"!

Question 26

What becomes of Zazu once Scar takes over?

Zazu was Mufasa's most trusted helper and friend. He was so trusted by the king that he was given the duties of protecting and escorting young Simba as he played and ran off on adventures. Sadly once Mufasa was killed, Zazu no longer had a position as a trusted member of the pride rock. After Scar took over the pride lands, many herds and animals were forced into isolation or forced to flee the area. Zazu on the other hand was left with no choice after his capture.

As young cubs, Simba and Nala could not have been more perfect for each other as friends and confidants. Actually they were inseparable and always loved adventure and bravery together. Through the plot of this Disney creation, the characters grow, change and live separate lives full of strives and struggles. Perhaps fate brings Nala and Simba back together. Once they rediscover one another, they go through a ray of emotions. What happens when Simba and Nala grow up and reunite?

Question 30

Why do Timon and Pumbaa worry when Nala finds them?

Timon and Pumbaa are survivors! And together they seem to overcome anything that comes their way. Even finding a baby cub was a shock yet they took on the taste and raised him as their own. It's not hard to see why they would be so distrusting of others. When it comes to Simba, they are always on guard and ready to support him and tend to him.

You can imagine the shock that Scar felt upon Simbas return. Especially because Scar himself was the one who planned out the gruesome deaths of both Mufasa and young Simba so many years prior. To become the heir to pride rock, both Mufasa and his cub had to die. He had assumed for years that the hyenas had torn apart and devoured poor young Simba after the wildebeest stampede.

Question 34

Scar dies in the end. It's not a spoiler if I say so. I mean, you have watched this film, right!? So prove it! Scar dies in an extremely less than pleasant way.
