    Disney’s original Lion King movie from 1994 is one of the most beloved animated kids movies of all time. It made so much money that Disney is making it again! This time in “live-action” which essentially means very good CGI. Although the original is a classic and characters like Simba, Nala, Mufasa, Zazu, Scar and more are iconic now -- the movie isn’t without its questionable moments. Like what’s up with Scar controlling the weather? Why is the brother-sister romance so… romanticized? Why are lions even kings? To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Lion King. It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    I always took the "I can't wait to be king" song as high-lighting Simba's naivete. He doesn't really understand what he's asking for as he's just a selfish child.

      Kings can step down and pass on the throne willingly though right? 🤔
      Genuine question, I feel like that's a thing but I'm not too sure.

      @@wayneb6583 They are king, they can do what they want. Lion wise when Simba got strong enough he'd just run Muffasa off, after he himself was ran off as male lions tend to do as the young males get older. Since it is Disney once he got old he likely step down. Either way Simba was a child and didn't think about what has to happen to become king, only one day he will be king which is common with kids.

      I also kind of presumed that he figured his Dad would just...retire. Just a kid on a power trip that wants all the authority. Not thinking about the baggage that comes with it or whether his father would be alive at that point.

      i remember as a kid watching this movie in the 90s i didnt fully understand that mufasa had to die for simba to become king so the thought behind the song never caught my attention. only thought it was a good song with a beat beat to it. but after being more grown up you begin to realize what songs can mean in a different way. back then the song was just a good song and you cheered simba on and was like i cant wait for that to happen. not fully understanding what has to happen 1st. in my eyes there could be 2 kings. simba and mufasa. didnt know there could be only 1

      In the middle east cousin marriage isn't considered incest, some middle eastern countries are in africa, probably not the one in the movie so I'm not sure but it may be acceptable there and we're talking about humans. So I doubt it would be a big deal for lions.

    I think the implication of Just Can't Wait to be King was that Simba didn't fully understand death, or the idea that a king can die. Zazu says "What you don't realize--" before he's cut off. He was going to explain the concept to him.
    Later on Simba asks his dad if they'll always be together. Mufasa explains the stars. Simba thought that his dad would just retire.

      He initially didn't want to do it, but one of the animators showed him Scar's concept design and Jeremy Irons fell in love with it. On that note, the composer initially didn't want to make a soundtrack for a "silly cartoon", but he had just recently lost his father, and when the writers told him that the story was about a kid losing his father and learning how to live with it and move on, he was like "Yep, I'm all in!"

      That's probably the intent, but logically speaking it wouldn't actually have that effect- its far more likely that scar just got unlucky and had a long draught during his reign. Overhunting would just make animals scarce, it wouldn't affect the weather, water or vegetation and turn an area into a barren wasteland.

    So, that part 4:25 might be a bit exaggerated in the movie, but when apex predators such as lions are removed from an ecosystem this can cause a cascade of negative effects to the environment, such as loss plant diversity, soil erosion, and overall loss of biodiversity. This happens because apex predators regulate the populations of lower level predators and grazers, keeping the "balance" in the circle of life if you will.
