The Lion King is a 1994 animated film in which a lion cub and heir to the throne of Pride Rock learns his place in the world. It centers on a guilt ridden lion cub who, after being tricked into thinking he killed his father, flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King.

Directed by Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff. Screenplay by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton. Songs by Tim Rice and Elton John. Disney later produced two related movies: a sequel, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride; and a part prequel-part parallel, The Lion King 1½.

  • It's over, there is nothing left! We have only one choice. We must leave Pride Rock! [Scar: We're not going anywhere!] Then you have sentenced us to death!
  • If you were half the king Mufasa was, you – [Interrupted by Scar hitting her]
  • Scar there's no food. The herds have moved on.

[edit] Scar

  • [First lines, spoken to a mouse he's about to eat] Life's not fair, is it? You see, I … well, I shall never be king. And you … shall never see the light of another day. Adieu.
  • Run away, Simba. Run. Run away, and never return.
  • [To the hyenas, resulting in Simba's exile] Kill him.
  • I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!
  • [Slowly] Yes … of course. As you wish, your majesty! [Slaps ash into Simba's face, then attacks him]

[edit] Dialogue

Zazu: [Alights on a nearby rock] Good morning, sire!
Mufasa: Good morning, Zazu.
Zazu: Checking in... with the morning report.
Mufasa: Fire away.
Zazu: Well! The buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot...
Mufasa: Oh, really?
[Simba, uninterested in Zazu, pounces at a grasshopper and misses]
Zazu: ...And the baboons are going ape over this. Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all...
Mufasa: [To Simba] What are you doing, son?
Simba: [looking in his empty paws] Pouncing.
Mufasa: Let an old pro show you how it's done.
Zazu: ...The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't...
Mufasa: Zazu, would you turn around?
Zazu: Yes, sire. [Continuing immediately] The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say ...
Mufasa: [Whispering] Stay low to the ground.
Zazu: Cheetahs never prosper...
Shenzi: Well, well, well, Banzai. What have we got here?
Banzai: Hmm. I don't know, Shenzi. Uh... what do you think, Ed?
Ed: {Crazy laughter}
[They circle around the cubs and Zazu.]
Banzai: Yeah, just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers!
Zazu: And quite by accident, let me assure you. A simple navigational error. Eh heh heh...
Shenzi: Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait... I know you. You're Mufasa's little stooge.
Zazu: I, madam, am the king's majordomo.
Banzai: [To Simba] And that would make you...?
Simba: The future king.
Shenzi: Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdoms?
Simba: Puh. You can't do anything to me.
Zazu: Uh... technically, they can. We are on their land.
Simba: But Zazu, you told me they're nothing but slobbering mangy stupid poachers.
Zazu: [Aside to Simba] Ix-nay on the oopid-stay...
Banzai: Who you callin' "oopid-stay?!?"
Zazu: My, my, my! Look at the sun! It's time to go!
Shenzi: What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner.
Banzai: Yeah! We could have whatever's... "lion" around! {background} Get it? Lion around! {laughs}
Shenzi: Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one! Make mine a "cub" sandwich. Whatcha think?
