On a side note, when Simba lays down on the dandelions on a hill at some point in the movie, they fly up and
spell out 'sex'. You can see this without even pausing it if you know what to look for.
This is a popular urban legend that has been disproved (see http://www.snopes.com or the "trivia" portion of the Lion King entry on
IMDB.
Mufasa is the "king of beasts", the ruler of the Pridelands, and father of the main charachter "
Simba" in
Disney's The Lion King. He is noble and wise, and embodies all the "stereotypically "good" qualities a
father should have. He is murdered by his jealous brother Scar during an attempt to rescue his son from a herd of stampeding wilderbeasts (the stampede was triggered by Scar's flunky hyenas).
Scar convinces Simba that Mufasa's death is his fault and Simba exiles himself from the Pridelands. The truth behind Mufasa's death is revealed to the other
lions when Simba returns to retake his Father's
throne.
