Shy, in the first scene that Scar is trying to eat the mouse, they explain that he would be next in line if Simba wasn't born, because he is the brother of the king, when the king passed he'd be king. He is plotting the murder to be king. It's the first scene of the movie.
If you watch mufasa it explains as to why scar did what he did. Hes betrayed mufasa before discovering Miele (Pridelands) and mufasa allowing him to remain there was his downfall. @ShyGuyPlus
So idk if anybody commented this yet. But Scar is a nickname. Scar's actual name was 'Taka' which translates into wate/useless/trash. Where Mufasa translates into king. So his whole life he has literally been told that he is literal garbage while his brother is the king of the world. It doesnt excuse his actions, but i think it does add to the story and explain a lot of Scar's resentment towards his brother. I feel like his parents are definitely at fault for him being so bitter and power hungry and thats what im hoping the Mufasa Series shows when it comes out.
12:18 - Essentially, yeah. Like he said earlier, Scar WAS first in line (to the throne) until Simba was born. So he can only benefit from Simba's death, because he is automatically King after Mufasa's inevitable demise. This is both why royal families throughout history had A LOT of drama/plotting/homicides and on the animalistic side of things, why male lions are so limited in individual groups, or Prides. Too many in one place, they fight too much/try to take each other or each other's cubs out. So each pride consists of maybe 3 males max (one usually more dominant), quite a few more females, and their cubs. Male cubs grow up and go try to take over another pride or start their own.
This movie had a simple and straight messege. Now people are overthinking it and Disney is not helping at all. Now they justify the murderer and blame the victim. Scar rejoiced in the way Mufasa looked before he died.
I remember when I was in fourth grade my school made us do the Lion King as a play and I watched it so often to prepare for the role that I could recite the whole movie 😭
I will say that this movie did hyenas dirty, they're even better hunters than lions and lions steal more meals from hyenas than the other way around. They're highly intelligent, incredibly social animals with fascinating pack structure that can often raise their status in the group just by social networking, no fighting required. As for lion social structure, in real life male lions will leave their original pride (females stay with the pride their whole life) when they're a couple years old, and either survive on their own, strike out with one or more brothers as a small group, or find other lone males and form a close friendship. Once they reach their prime, male lions will battle the males of a pride to try and take over. So it makes sense that the pride only had Mufasa and his brother Scar as the resident males, and if Simba had had brothers, they either would have been taken out by Scar after the stampede or run off with Simba. As he didn't, he's the only adult male of the pride now. So a pride being one or two males (I believe a pride can have up to four close bonded males if the group manages to take over a pride) and many more females is very real to life. Insects are a pretty protein-rich food, and I always assumed that Simba learned to fish and likely snack on edible fruits and plants in the jungle to round out his diet while growing up with Timon and Pumbaa. Lions (just like all cats) are obligate carnivores and NEED meat, and I'm glad the movie didn't shy away from it. The difference is Mufasa likely only had the pride hunt when they actually needed to, the rest of the time the herds knew they'd be left alone. Scar had them hunting all the time to satisfy the hyenas, so between that and a clear drought drying up the grass it makes sense for the herds to have left.
Amazing reaction! Rafiki discovered that Simba was alive, by a mixture of leaves with Simba's hair that were being carried away by the wind Greetings from Brazil ❤
Disney characters and Bible characters have same energy. Simba sees his dead dad talking to him from the sky and isn't shook. Eve sees a talking snake and rolls with it lmao 😂
I followed you from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️ I love this movie so much since my childhood ❤️, fun fact: The voice actor of the Egyptian version of Scar, Disney gave him an award for being the best voice actor for this character, even better than the original
But he was telling the truth, Mufasa lives in Simba now and it was in that moment that Simba knew he had to go back and make things right, not just for Pride Rock, but also the pride and above all, the Pride Lands.
This is the best movie Disney ever made and my favourite movie of all time. A lot of people don't understand why animals that are lions prey give reverence to the king or why Simba can make the pride lands fertile and green again after reclaiming the throne. This is because the animals know their place in the circle of life which we know as the eco-system. Mufasa and Simba hunt only for survival. During Scars regime they over-hunted causing animals to migrate away from the area which had a domino effect on all other living things. EDIT- Yeah you got it.
This movie is a lot darker, but that's why I love it. Cause in the 2019 version, it was a little dull. When it came to some personality of it, but I have to admit the challunch bit symbol VS scar was a little bit better on the 2019 1 than the 1994 1 but. Scar in the 1994 version was actually a lot better than the new version. It's because he was more darker and more evil. And that's how a villain should be.
I don‘t know if you knew that but apparently lions are their own natural enemy so they are basically cannibals. Now: Do you remember the skull in Scar‘s cave? Yeah… that was probably Mufasa.😣
Amazing reaction! I really would love to react to the rest of the franchise! I’d do it in this order: The Lion King, The Lion King 1 1/2, The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, and The Lion King Live Action. There is a tv series called The Lion Guard, which follows Simba and Nala’s second born Kion as he becomes the leader of the Lion Guard and protect the Pridelands from their enemies; it takes place during The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride and not long after its ending. Also here’s some trivia; Hyenas are actually part of the feline family and a clan of hyenas are led by a female. Also in the original storyline, they actually had planned for Scar to find Simba besides Mufasa in distraught. Scar would pick him up by the mouth and attempt to kill him. Only to be interrupted by Sarabi and the lionesses, and they would’ve thought Scar had saved him. Simba would grow with Scar being his adviser. However, the production team thought it would best for him to run away in shame, so he’d be more humble and actually grew up from his carefree life style to take his place. 🦁👑🖤💛🧡❤️ RIP James Earls Jones
I think you’ll like mufasa, it’s getting 💩 on sadly but it’s one of those movies that you just have to watch for yourself and ignore critics. People didn’t like planet of apes much now it’s one of the most loved franchises
How Circle of life is the opening song and also a theme throughout the entire movie is just 🤌🤌. Comes up in the beginning when Mufasa is explaining to Simba their position in the animal heirarchy, and the importance of balance ...and then it comes up when Scar messes up the food chain by having the lions and the hyenas (who are natural entries) work together, which effectively destroys the entire ecosystem
See scar was meant to be King next if Mufasa didn’t air a son and then when Simba came along, he gets the throne pass down to him so scar is technically being skipped over. It’s almost like a hierarchy
Great reaction vid bro! Also, 37:18 , yeah, that's also how lion prides work irl! When a male lion is old enough to become a threat to the king's position, the lion is driven out of the pride.
Happy new year!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 If you want to watch another masterpiece, can I recommend you to watch Prince of Egypt by Dreamworks (1998)? It is about the Biblical story of Moses but both religious and non religious people can enjoy it!! The animation is stunning, mostly traditional hand-drawn 2d animation mixed with a bit of cgi sometimes, lots of symbolism in the animation, the music (ost and songs) is AMAZING, the story is bittersweet and the relationships and characters are humane and complex… for me it is pure cinema. Btw, I just subscribed to your channel I just love how you just feel each movie, the music…
This movie is based off the Shakespeare play Hamlet and this is a more family friendly version believe it or not. This is however my absolute FAVORITE Disney movie franchise, the only Lion King movie I didn’t really like was the live action remake. Mufasa is amazing tho, and gives you a good back story on Mufasa and Scar.
Fun fact when scar is playing with that skull well Zazu is in that bone cage scar is playing with a lion head and other lions eat lions when they die so scar ain’t Mufasa after he was killed
I am not sure how true it is, but I heard somewhere that Mufasa was still alive when simba ran off after the stampede. Scar was the one who kills him after. So, at the end of the movie when scar admits he killed Mufasa it makes more sense. Otherwise technically it would have been the hyenas fault for causing it to happen, the herd that didn't part for him, or back to Scar for telling the Hyenas what to do.
It’s crazy how you noticed that not many people do I’m surprised, but my editor does it for me I record on different audio tracks so separate all the audio from one another
1:05 you just need to make a prerecorded clip explaining that you’ve seen clips here and there but haven’t actually watched the movie, so then you can use it for any movie so you don’t have to explain every video😂
Anybody older than or as old as this movie have a ...👁️ 👄 👁️ … reaction to “late 1900s” around 5:47 like me? (Born in ‘93) cuz dannnggg... like let me get my cane 👵🏾 lmao 🤣 🤣
I hope Lion King reactions to all of them are not Patreon exclusive, I need to know from the list that was posted which is Patreon only because I want to your reaction to all of them. Lion king is literally my childhood and I am looking forward for Harry Potter reactions.
Just have to jump in to say this: The Lion King is amazing. Mufasa, which is a lifelike CGI prequal of the lifelike CGI Lion King remake.... doesn't have a lot of hype. What you've probably stumbled upon is the current ongoing conflict with Disney corporate trying to force the movie's popularity and block Sonic 3, that released the same day, from making as much as it could potentially by literally hogging premium US screens by way of contracts with theater chains. It's actually hilarious.
@ShyGuyPlus omg you saw my comment! Thank you for the reaction! I enjoyed this crying session, lol😭🫶🏽😂💓 if I may👉🏽👈🏽(if you hadn't watched it) suggest the following... - monster house (2006) - little miss Sunshine - the lovely bones - the help

scar can rest in hell for doing that to his brother

Preach!!; you said it perfectly!!!
18:53 "What have he done!?"
Bro got so shocked, that the english glitched 💀😂
"what monkey is this again? ...a bamboo?" KILLED ME.
I remember when I was in fourth grade my school made us do the Lion King as a play and I watched it so often to prepare for the role that I could recite the whole movie 😭
thats acctually really cool !

OMG MY FAVOURITE FILM 😭 Shy defo needs to see the second one asap . A lil fun fact about this film tho the plot is based off of Shakespeares Hamlet
He did! (It's on the Patreon)
Edit - also that Shakespeare fact is crazy
@ yeah I just noticed re playing it 😭(the patreon thing)
Amazing reaction!
Rafiki discovered that Simba was alive, by a mixture of leaves with Simba's hair that were being carried away by the wind
Greetings from Brazil ❤
Disney characters and Bible characters have same energy. Simba sees his dead dad talking to him from the sky and isn't shook.
Eve sees a talking snake and rolls with it lmao 😂
This movie came out the same year my father was killed. It always brings a certain emotion up for me.
This was released before mine passed. I watched in cinemas, and a big fan. It was the last of my worry-free childhood.
I followed you from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️ I love this movie so much since my childhood ❤️, fun fact: The voice actor of the Egyptian version of Scar, Disney gave him an award for being the best voice actor for this character, even better than the original

15:27, he wants to kill simba and mufasa because he wants to be king
In grade six my school put on The Lion King as a play, and I got the role of Scar! I still have the script in my room from that. Good memories.
😭😭 Shy put some respect on my mans Timon

EARLY I THINK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
(bro was robbed of a childhood 😭)
chilllllllllllllllllll lmaooo🥲
have you ever watched any of the Land Before Time movies? the first one's fantastic, I have a soft spot for a few of the sequels as well lol
U should watch Lion King 1 1/2 next and see Timon and Pumbaa side of the story
I could be wrong but i always thought that there were no other male lions because they got their own prides.
can't stop watching your vedioobsessed with every funny and cute momnents

I really liked Mufasa. If you like scar I definitely recommend seeing it
5:46 1900s !!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST turned 30 bro 😭😭😭 im the same age as this movie
How Circle of life is the opening song and also a theme throughout the entire movie is just 🤌🤌. Comes up in the beginning when Mufasa is explaining to Simba their position in the animal heirarchy, and the importance of balance ...and then it comes up when Scar messes up the food chain by having the lions and the hyenas (who are natural entries) work together, which effectively destroys the entire ecosystem
The Lion King movies are based on the works of William Shakespeare. First one is Hamlet and the sequel is based on Romeo&Juliet 😊
14:27 WAIT THIS IS WHERE THAT COMES FROM
lol yup! Oof my favorite Disney lines! 😂
Now you have to watch Lion King 2 : Simba’s Pride
4:26 Scar isn’t his original name actually
As for your question about Timon being Italian, I'm pretty sure he's actually Jewish coded.
5:37 Im gonna say you should def watch Hercules 👀
best movie ever. it's Timon!
See scar was meant to be King next if Mufasa didn’t air a son and then when Simba came along, he gets the throne pass down to him so scar is technically being skipped over. It’s almost like a hierarchy
Great reaction vid bro! Also, 37:18 , yeah, that's also how lion prides work irl! When a male lion is old enough to become a threat to the king's position, the lion is driven out of the pride.

happy new yearrrr and im glad you liked the channel enough to sub thats really kind!!
I know it's technically correct but 'late 1900s' always hurts just a little bit...
Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride reaction please.
The little mermaid 1989 next 🥰🤩
This movie is based off the Shakespeare play Hamlet and this is a more family friendly version believe it or not. This is however my absolute FAVORITE Disney movie franchise, the only Lion King movie I didn’t really like was the live action remake.

Fun fact when scar is playing with that skull well Zazu is in that bone cage scar is playing with a lion head and other lions eat lions when they die so scar ain’t Mufasa after he was killed
I think that's a baboon's skull.
I am not sure how true it is, but I heard somewhere that Mufasa was still alive when simba ran off after the stampede. Scar was the one who kills him after. So, at the end of the movie when scar admits he killed Mufasa it makes more sense.

I’ve never heard of that. 🤔 Either way Scar is the one that killed him because it was Scar that threw Mufasa off the cliff and to his death.
GOATED MOVIE
Hey Shy! Happy New Years! 🎉🎊🎆 I hope you enjoy 2025 and achieve your long-term goals. 😊 I hope to see you continue your MLP reactions soon.
happy new yearssssss
i cannot wait for hunchback of notre dame reaction... hes gonna pass out from being so hyped
You gotta tell me what effect you used to distort the movie’s audio. It actually sounds cool as hell like this. Scar and Mufasa’s voices are sick
It’s crazy how you noticed that not many people do I’m surprised, but my editor does it for me I record on different audio tracks so separate all the audio from one another
@ can you ask your editor?
Yo, I'm the editor, I just do Pitch Shifter effect in Premiere pro, and play around with the settings for each individual movie. @@Moakmeister
I think you should see the mufasa movie it explains a lot
I feel like youd really like the greatest showman! Its not animated but has some fantastic songs!
36:11 bro's an instigator 😂
random interesting fact about samba and Nala, they are actually cousins 😭
Just an awesome reaction ❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Can you do Tangled next 😊
I don't think it's possible for them to overdrink LoL
27:52 pause!
Paws!
1:05 you just need to make a prerecorded clip explaining that you’ve seen clips here and there but haven’t actually watched the movie, so then you can use it for any movie so you don’t have to explain every video😂
I actually got snacks this time
leeetssss goooo!!
@ShyGuyPlus also the new movie is a prequel to the remake not of the original
30:52 Rafiki is a Mandril 😂
if you watch the movie mufasa it will tell you why scar killed him
Anybody older than or as old as this movie have a ...👁️ 👄 👁️ … reaction to “late 1900s” around 5:47 like me? (Born in ‘93) cuz dannnggg... like let me get my cane 👵🏾 lmao 🤣 🤣
Yep, I just fully had a 😒 look on my face. 1987 baby here.
Watch the lion guard
Yay for trauma at the age of 4! 🙃🫠
Guy Great verison can you watch the other movies to its 3 animated and 2 live action

You should watch Hercules it has songs it's Disney and it's Greek mythology
I hope Lion King reactions to all of them are not Patreon exclusive, I need to know from the list that was posted which is Patreon only because I want to your reaction to all of them. Lion king is literally my childhood and I am looking forward for Harry Potter reactions.
all of lion king will be coming to youtube!!! just later on
36:38 Paws!
There is no hype for Mufasa
Just have to jump in to say this:
The Lion King is amazing. Mufasa, which is a lifelike CGI prequal of the lifelike CGI Lion King remake.... doesn't have a lot of hype.

10 10
Just so you know the baby at the end is a girl
12:15 I'm so sorry but... are you slow? 😭
😪
@ShyGuyPlus omg you saw my comment! Thank you for the reaction! I enjoyed this crying session, lol😭🫶🏽😂💓 if I may👉🏽👈🏽(if you hadn't watched it) suggest the following...
- monster house (2006)
- little miss Sunshine
- the lovely bones
- the help
You talk over everything and say “Bro” 9k+ times. SHUT UP and actually watch the movie!
Sorry can't like the video when Gods name gets used in vain in reactions... but i did enjoy the fresh look into this lion king.
thats understandable i respect that man, but i appreciate the comment!
@ShyGuyPlus Thanks for replying, eh will you be reacting to the 2019 live version, then this recent mufasa when it comes out?
