- Synopsis
- In the veldt kingdom of Pride Rock, the scheming Scar plans to become the lion king. He convinces young Simba, the heir to the throne, to wander off into the elephant graveyard. When Simba is threatened by a horde of stampeding wildebeest, his father, King Mufasa, comes to his rescue but Scar causes him to fall and be trampled. Scar then turns on Simba, telling him all this was his fault and convincing him the only rightful thing to do is leave the kingdom and never return. Simba wanders out into the desert. But there he meets his childhood betrothed Nala who convinces him to find his own strength and return and confront Scar.
