Growing up together: Kopa and Vitani Chapter 1

posted by frozenflame1923

Kopa got up and shook his body to life. He bounced over to his mum, Nala, and pressed his paw up against her face in an attempt to awaken her. Her eyes fluttered open and she mumbled something under her breath.
"Mum, can I go out to play?" Kopa put on a cheesy grin,"Pu-leeaasee?"
"Your just like your father"
"So is that a yes?"
"Go ahead, but be careful, because if your anything like your father, I'm sure you'll get yourself into lots of mischief!"
Kopa bounded out of the cave opening and strait down into the grassy Savannah. As he was running through the grass he saw a big rock which reminded...

The Lion King: Fluffy's story - - [The cub at the end]

posted by bendaimmortal

Surprisingly few have heard about Fluffy and many of those who have, are confused with all the books and the sequel and stuff. Here's the story digging into facts of the timeline and looks, as well as the official words by the film's makers.

I originally created this article to The Lion King Wiki as SuperBabySimba, but as Wikis can be edited by anyone who is confused and prefers daydreams over facts, I chose to post this original version here to help those who are interested. :)

The Lion King & Titanic: Two Tragic Shakespearean Tales

posted by deedragongirl

Remember who you are!

Hi guys, I will be doing another comparison between 2 movies. Only this time, it is the Lion King and Titanic. Two highest grossing films of our generations!

The Lion King

This was the very first movie that I watched and I love all of the songs. However, the story is based on Shakespeare's Hamlet: Prince of Denmark. Unlike the latter, Mufasa's death is really graphic that I feel disturbed about it and hearing Mufasa's scream down to his death if I were in Simba's place!
Scar is portrayed as a paranoid psychopath, whenever somebody mention his dead brother. He will flies into rage! In fact, he...

The first of the sun rays peeked over the horizon as Mabaya woke up.She let out a big yawn and heaved herself to her paws.She peeked out of the cave she lived in with all the other outlanders.She could see the fresh-kill pile,but there wasn't that much food instead of three scrawny field mice.She started to head over to the pile when something hit here.She rolled over and over when she hit into something.She then looked up into the face of Nuka.''What was that for''he asked,glaring angrily at her.''Sorry''she said scrambling to her paws.''You better be''he growled,biting at his flank.Mabaya...

Forget Me Not [Kopa VS. The Lion King]

posted by bendaimmortal

This is NOT another rant about canon. No. This is about something I find rather sad instead of annoying.

Why doess this fandom's situation sadden me? Why do I take this so seriously? Why do I bother writing a lengthy article like this? Because I don't think Disney is ALL about enrichening people's life and encouraging creativity. It is essentially also about teaching values and morals. The whole point of this article is to remind people of that and how because of that any conspiracy theories and fan-made stories should not be falsely claimed as what really happened.

I honestly believe Disney...

What The Lion King had taught me?

posted by deedragongirl

Hakuna Matata.

Hi everyone, I just want to say before Frozen came into the picture. The Lion King had a number of things that taught me while I first watch this movie many years ago, here they are.

Let it Go!

Yes, the Lion King had actually taught us to let go of our past. It also taught me to improve my future along the way while learning from my mistakes in life, our life is full of ups and downs.

Parental Love

It also promotes about loving your parents like Simba and Mufasa did, I really love my parents despite that we do not agree on a number of things, especially with my relationship with my mother.

The Circle of Life

5 years ago, my favourite dog pet died unexpectedly and I was really sad over it. But I managed to let go of it because it's part of the Circle of Life, and I truly understood this line.

Thank You Simba!

These are the 3 reasons on why the movie will always cherish in my heart. So, do you agree?

Splendid View.

Lion King- Life during,and after the disaster, Part four

posted by nicker11500

PLEASE READ part one if you haven't read it yet it will give you better sense in what's going on in this story

Timon gets up and goes in front of Simba, Timon:" Simba, I'm sorry I was annoyed by what you two did to me and again I'm sorry do you forgive me?" Simba didn't say anything but then looked at him Simba:" (sigh) I forgive" he says giving a slight smile then giving Timon a hug. Night has fallen as Nala once again laying in the dead almost just ground grass, decided to stay out and look at the stars with her face still sore from the abuse of Scar, as she looks up rubbing her sore face...

The next morning in the jungle Timon is the first to wake up as he looks around noticing that Simba isn't where he usually sleeps, Timon:" did he really sleep there all night?" Timon leaves Pumbaa to sleep as he goes to looks for Simba, Timon went to the area where they looked at the stars the other night and Timon found peaceful sleeping Simba who looks like he's in a very intense dream or nightmare by a guess of him moving his back paws rapidly. (In Simba's dream) In his dream it's about him, his father, Nala, and mother, it shows him throwing his father off the cliff as Nala and his mother...

It was a young night I was hunting a mouse
Me: Man That's good.

Then I saw someone running towards my direction. I asked the lioness if she okay?
She Replied With an accent "I'm Alright".
I Asked " Why Are You Running"?
She answered " Hunters they are chasing me I think I've them and I lost my pack and got separated from them".

Queen Kiara's Daugther (LION KING 4: KAIRIA'S ADVENTURE)

posted by Starwarschick18

Princess Kairia, was engrossed as she listened to her grandfather the former king Simba, as he told her a story of one of the adventures he had with her grandmother when he was a cub.
"There Grandma and I were cornered by the hyenas they were moving in for the kill. I did the only thing I could think of, I roared at them." Kairia looked at her grandfather impressed and asked him
"Wow Grandpa did that scare them off?"
Simba laughed heartily at his granddaughter and said "No, Dear One I'm afraid it didn't."
Kairia asked confused "But Grandpa if it didn't work then how did you and Grandma get away?"...

Does Simba's Pride really have plot holes?

posted by bendaimmortal

Now, I'm not saying that The Lion King 2: SImba's Pride doesn't have some problems. Because it does. I'm only saying that I don't think it has plot holes. Most of the following arguments I originally posted at IMDB message board in a debate, as VampireOutlaw.

You see, if something that's left untold does not affect the plot at all, then it's not a hole in the story but only something that could be further explained just for the interest of it.
I'm starting to think this film does not have plot holes at all - that its only continuity problem is that they remade the ceremony scene and the cub's...

The Lion King : Raji's Story

posted by MindWideOpen

Pride Rock appeared menacing in the dark of midnight, black clouds circling the structure. The air stood completely still, along with the tall grass. Then, in the blink of an eye, it all changed. Cristal drops of rain turned to giant diamonds, shattering on the savannah ground. The still air turned into frightening winds, blowing away branches from trees. The breath-taking silence was broken by a roar of pain.

In the den of Pride Rock, all crowded a dark brown lioness. She was breathing heavily,her black-rimmed ears pinned sharply back. She dug her claws into the ground, gasping it tightly.

Why I dislike the lion king 2

posted by KingSimba4Ever9

I mean no affiance to those who love the lion king 2. And please don't leave any nasty comments, thank you.

First off, the animation.
The animation in the lion king 2 is totally horrible. Simba is darker (And somewhere in the movie his eyes are actualy blue!) , Nala is to bright and her eyes are to blue, Timon is dark and Pumba is dark and looks disgusting. The only charicters that looked like they did in the first movie were Scar and Mufasa. The wildebeests in the nightmare scene looked like wolves! I actually think that that the animators took more time and work in drawing the new characters...

The Real Problem With The Lion King 2 By Timothy Goodwin

posted by TimnaciousD

The Lion King remains to this day my favourite animated movie. It has spawned two sequels and a Broadway musical, among other things. However, as it has happened so often in the past with a lot of films, the sequel is a path to the dark side.

Whereas darker and edgier sequels like The Empire Strikes Back and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have worked and done their predecessors justice, The Lion King 2 fails miserably.

THE GOOD:

It is refreshingly different to see a Disney sequel that picks up immediately after the events of the first film.

It is also refreshingly different to see a Disney...

Scar's backstory / How Scar got his scar

posted by elsafan1010

Scar, who was rather mean-hearted, was describing how he got his scar on the Lion Guard.
I'm here to tell you Scar's past story. Some of you may find the story absurd, and some of you may find it sad.

" Scar saw himself as the strongest and best roaring lion. One day, a strange lion with a scar on his eye came up to Scar. He said he was the strongest and wisest lion, but Scar didn't believe him. Suddenly, the strange lion, He unleashed his friend cobra on Scar. The cobra left a scar on Scar's eye, just like the strange lion's. The strange lion said that if Scar did everything he said he could remove the scar. But Scar didn't listen and killed the lion and went back home. nicknamed a scar, Scar became enraged and plotted to kill Mufasa. The plan was successful, Mufasa was dead."

Here is Scar's back story. I don't feel the slightest pity for him.

The Lion King: On of the most darkest Disney movies of our time.

posted by LisaForde

I have this on VHS for about 10 or maybe 15 years and I absolutely love it. The story tells the tale of a young cub who is framed for the murder of his father Mufassa(actually Scar killed him with the stampedes) who runs away and befriends Timon & Pumpaa. From the opening scenes to the break taking music and music by Elton John who did the song Can You Feel The Love Tonight, The Lion King was the best Disney movie of our time, winner of 2 Oscars back in 1995 I highly recommend all Disney lovers to watch this but if you have any children then beware because some scenes may make them upset especially the part where Mufassa dies as well as some scary scenes otherwise than that it’s a great movie.

The sky was reddish pink, it was turning morning the animals lined up for Kiara and Kovu's official wedding at the Pride Lands, Vitani stood up looking proud at her brother.

Kiara and Kovu hugged each other as Nala and Simba roared with them.

The Lion King is not a kids' film

posted by bendaimmortal

The accurate category for it is: a family film.
The main reason why I wish to discuss this topic is that people who think of this (and Disney classics in general) as kids' films, judge and try to tell off people who hold these films in adult standards and discuss them in depth and seriously.
I will dig into The Lion King specifically later, but first let me start with a general look into the topic.

This article is not meant to offend anyone, but merely to offer another point of view.

I think the three main reasons why many people put these films down as nothing but kids' films, are:
1.) It's from...
