    I like to think that Sarabi was present while Kiara was just a cub, but I don't see her living long enough to see her granddaughter grow into a teenager. I'm glad you made this video, because Sarabi is such an underrated character. She went through hell, yet still remained strong. She reminds me a lot of my mom, who I really look up to.

      That makes 0 sense because Sarabi wouldn't of had time to die because Lion King 2 starts right off where the first one ended so she couldn't of died that fast, she would've been able to watch Kiara be born. Now when Kiara got older who knows but look at Rafiki he's old and he was there when Kiara was born and grew up so you're comment makes no sense at all. Have no idea where Sarabi was in the second lion king cause she didn't die in the first one she should've been a part of the cast of lion king 2.

      Sarabi does appear in the sequel! After the timeskip, when adult Kiara walks down from the den, surrounded by lionesses, the one that says something along the lines of: “My! How much you’ve grown!” Looks suspiciously much like Sarabi.

    Honestly, Sarabi was probably the strongest character you could ever find, she has literally went through torture/ living hell (whatever you prefer)
    Like, she didn’t give in at all and kept strong, she didn’t care if scar was king she just wanted the best for the pride. (Through the rough times, obviously scar didn’t care)
    So.. Sarabi was actually my most favourite character, even if she didn’t have much script in TLK.

  • @kelseyclemons8881
    @kelseyclemons8881 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    I think Sarabi is a very underrated character. Sure she doesn’t have that many scenes like Nala or simba but she actually plays a pretty big role in the movie. After loosing her mate and believing her son to be gone as well, Sarabi kept her head held high and helped keep the pride strong while scar was destroying the pride lands. She’s a very wise and strong lioness and fought till the very end. It’s a shame we never get to see her again in any of the sequels or tv shows because it would be nice to get a actual backstory about her life and stuff.

  • @inzomniacZz
    @inzomniacZz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1888

    It makes sense, I mean lions really don't live all that long in the wild, some are lucky to make it to the age of 10. And judging by how huge Mufasa was, they may have been around the age of 5-6 when they had Simba. And it takes around 3-5 years for an adult male to grow his mane, so with Simba returning with a full on hair-do, she could of been at the right old age of 9 at the end of the movie.

    • @Radley1982
      @Radley1982 6 ปีที่แล้ว +269

      Wow, so they were basically middle-aged by the time they had Simba, and Sarabi was nearing the end of her life when Simba returned. At least she lived to see Mufasa's legacy preserved and the Pridelands restored to their former glory, thus she could pass on peacefully, and complete the circle of life.

    I played this role last year when my school did the lion king and as I researched the role I became very proud to represent this wonderful queen. I never thought much of her as a kid and was slightly disappointed at first to get the role as my good friends all got main roles, such as Simba, Nala, and Timon. However, acting the scenes where she confronts Scar, as well as where Simba returns to pride rock gave me a new respect for her. I could feel the defensivness and loyalty to her pride as I fought scar. When Simba returned, I could feel the loving link to him as we embraced after I learned he was alive after all these years. The role ment a lot to me, and helped me grow as an actor. It was a new challenge to embrace a character I didn't know, but one that I am truly grateful for

  • @BG-be8di

    Sarabi is a great character as Simba's mother, I cherish her few moments on screen say a lot: yes, she loved her son Simba very much and it hurt her to think that he had died as a child. Loving, brave and strong to endure that pain and Scar's tyranny. I liked the cartoon you showed wow: So I also imagine that Simba's childhood was with his mother, and that surely after his exile, he missed her very much. I was glad that at least she got to see her son come back, after a long time, and see him ascend to the throne.. I like to think that she thanked Timon and Pumbaa for raising him with love.

At the start of the movie, she is a fertile adult, but reasonably young, Simba is the crown prince so he is most likely her first cub. This would mean that Sarabi at the start of the movie is at youngest 3 years old.
    If we look at Mufasa, his heavy mane reveal he should be around 5, so if Sarabi and Mufasa are supposed to be around the same age, they are most likely around 3-5 years old. Then we can replicate this process for Simba to add that age onto Sarabi. Simba is leaner and dont have a mane that is as full as Mufasas but it is still somewhat close, so he is most likely between 3-4 years old.
    So Sarabis age seems to be between 6-9 years old towards the end of the movie. Yes, that is old for a male lion, but that is because of the injuries males get when defending their territories, Sarabi is however a female so she has another 9 years left and in that time span she could see both grandcubs and great grandcubs.
    So old age is not the killer here, the only thing that would possibly have made her kick the bucket prematurely is a sickness or a grave injury, but this is Disney, they only kill of parents when they need to traumatize the protagonist.
    I mean look at Pumbaa, warthogs live around 7-10 years in the wild and he was an adult of unspecified age when he met cub Simba. Warthogs reach maturity around 1½ years of age just like Meerkats so he synch his age well with Timon. They seem to still be bachelors at that time so we can approximate their ages to be around 2-4. If we add Simbas age at the end of the movie, Pumbaa become about 5-8 years old, then we add on Kovus age (as we can easier see where he is age wise through his mane and Kovus age seem to be about 3-4 years at the end of Lion king 2), we get 8-12 years. That is a really long lived Warthog!
    So, Sarabi is probably still alive. She might just have retired and moved to a different spot on the pride rock, that thing is full of caves and hollows, and she might just want to live in peace and calm now that Scar is gone. A lot of animals seek more solitude when they get older.
    But in the end, we can only wait and see if Disney ever addresses this.

      While this does seem to be reasonable, I still think she died. You say they live up to 18 years, but that's usually in sanctuaries. This is in the wild, where animals just don't last that long. 12 year old lions (male or female) are EXTREMELY lucky to have lived that long. It is possible for her to have died. I suspect she died while Kiara was growing up. The beginning hardly showed the rest of the pride, so she could've been there. But then probably the time Kiara was grown up, she died. I can tell the time difference because Kovu has his full mane, which by your logic he would be around 5. So, if she was nine around the end of the 1st movie, then she would've been 14. That's old for lions in the wild. Animals just usually don't live that long. Again, if they do, they're incredibly lucky.

    • @forestgrump4723
      @forestgrump4723 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      You say males usually die before ten due to injuries sustained from defending their pride. You're forgetting that Sarabi was dealing with hostile hyenas who we SEE snarling at her throughout Scar's rule. Given that Scar allows them to snap at her this way it's not unlikely they've outright attacked her before. I think it's much more likely that Sarabi died shortly after Simba became king. She could finally relax and allow herself rest knowing her pride was in the paws of her son. But speculation is just that, speculation. Most likely we'll never know for sure.

    Great video, Issac. Sarabi is one of my favourite characters in the Lion King. I believe that she was murdered. In the lost story about Kopa, I read that when Zira had a plan to devour the cub, Sarabi protected her grandson and defended him. However, Zira attacked Sarabi, which led to her death; after that, Zira killed Kopa.
    Hope this sentence will make sense (I don't explain things too well).

    I agree that she likely died peacefully, and I expect that she helped advise Simba to drive out the outlanders. Simba is a kind soul, and a new king, he was not prepared to kill his uncle even after all he'd done. So I find it difficult to believe he would drive out any of his former pride without a serious push to do so. Now that push might have come from Nala but I think since Nala is so ready to forgive Kovu in TLK 2 it's much more likely this advice came from his wise mother, a lion who had seen what a divided pride can cause. After seeing the pride return to peace she would be eager to help her son make sure they don't get another Scar in their midst and the quickest way to do that would be to drive out his supporters. As the lead lioness she would be strategically placed to know who those were as well. She would know who Scar tended to show favour to, which Simba and Nala would not. That's just my hypothesis though.

    Great video. I agree with you. Any theory that isn't "Sarabi died of natural causes" is less likely to have happened. If it were otherwise, Simba or Nala or Zazu would have mentioned it in passing in the second movie. And her being banished is probably the silliest...the lionesses can attest to her not being complicit in Scar's rule.

    A mention of Sarabi's passing in TLK 2 would have been nice. It wouldn't have left a loose end, and would have tied the previous storyline together. Maybe at the presentation of Kiara, both Mufasa and Sarabi could have appeared in the clouds to be looking over the presentation. Simba could have been looking up to them, maybe the only one who could see them (like Luke in Return of the Jedi), Mufasa and Sarabi could smile and nod in approval, and that's all you would have needed.

    I like to think that a particular background lion in Simba's Pride is her. She stands near Simba when he goes to confront Zira that first time, when Kiara is just a cub. Doesn't say a word, but her features are kinda similar and she was standing behind Simba. But that's just what I like to think, and there's absolutely no evidence to support that. I haven't been able to spot her again after that, so it does kinda make sense that maybe she passed away before Kiara grows up.
