Laughter echoes from within and three hyenas emerge, surrounding the cubs. Simba shows off his bravery by laughing in front of a large skull. Suddenly, Zazu reappears and demands that they leave. They then run off, Nala showing off her skills as an expert pinner, before finding themselves in the elephant graveyard. Along the way, Simba and Nala devise a plan together to get rid of Zazu, which works. Sarabi gives them permission to go as long as Zazu accompanies them. He tells her about a cool place he has found, lying to Sarabi that its around the water hole. Simba meets up with his friend Nala ( Niketa Calame-Harris) who is being bathed by her mother, Sarafina Zoe Leader. He asks that Simba never explore the place, but as Simba reassures him and leaves, Scar smiles to himself knowing full well that Simba's curiosity will get the better of him. Scar feigns an accidental slip of the tongue by revealing that it's an elephant graveyard but praises Simba's cleverness. Simba perks up, saying he's brave, and begs his uncle to tell him what's there. When Simba replies no, Scar adds that it is a dangerous place where only the bravest lions venture. Casually, and goading Simba's excitement, Scar asks if Mufasa showed him the shadow place on their morning walk. Simba brags about his fate to be king to which Scar reacts without the slightest bit of enthusiasm. Simba returns to Pride Rock where his Uncle Scar is lurking about. Mufasa rushes off to deal with it while Zazu takes Simba home. As Simba gets ready to try again, Zazu suddenly exclaims that a group of hyenas has been seen in the Pride Lands. When Zazu appears with a morning report, Mufasa takes the opportunity to give Simba a pouncing lesson which goes successfully, much to Zazu's dismay. Out in the plains, Mufasa tells Simba that there is a balance to all life which eventually comes full circle the Circle of Life. Mufasa tells Simba he's forbidden from ever going there. Mufasa illustrates from the top of Pride Rock that everything the light touches is their kingdom, except for a place on the horizon that is covered in shadow. Now a budding youth, Simba rises early one morning and pesters his father to get up and show him the lands he's destined to rule over. He chuckles lightly as he finishes, reciting the new cub's name, Simba ( Jonathan Taylor Thomas). As monsoon storms drench the Pride Lands, Rafiki is seen in his tree home, a large baobab, adding details to his newest piece of wall art. Scar shrugs it off, claiming he had forgotten, and scoffs his new responsibility to show respect to the future king before wandering off. Mufasa and his majordomo, a hornbill named Zazu ( Rowan Atkinson), confront Scar on why he wasn't present at the ceremony that morning. He is envious of his brother's position as king and is disgruntled at the fact that he will never be king now that Mufasa has an heir. Meanwhile, Scar ( Jeremy Irons), the younger brother of Mufasa, is sulking by himself behind Pride Rock. The animals cheer and then bow to the new future king. Rafiki anoints the cub with fruit juices before presenting him to the gathered animals. Mufasa leads Rafiki to his mate Sarabi ( Madge Sinclair) who is holding their newborn cub. Rafiki ( Robert Guillaume), a mandrill, walks through the herd and climbs the face of Pride Rock to greet his friend, King Mufasa ( James Earl Jones). As dawn breaks, all the animals of the Pride Lands are summoned to Pride Rock, the home of the pride of lions. The Lion King takes place in the Pride Lands of Africa, where a lion rules over the other animals as king.
