Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Lion King has consistently remained among the most popular Disney movies ever made, but 30 years after its release, some aspects deserve to be re-examined. As the most successful animated movie ever made at the time of its release, The Lion King was a definitive moment in the Disney Renaissance that saw everything from its story, music, and aesthetic style come together in perfect harmony.

9 There's A Lot of Passive Characters The Lion King’s characters could have resisted more The Lion King took a dark turn once Scar murdered his brother Mufasa, and to become king, he told the pride that Mufasa and Simba had been killed in a stampede. In a cunning twist, Scar made Simba believe that he was the one responsible for his father’s death and convinced him to leave the kingdom and never return.

7 The Representation Of The Hyenas Was Uncomfortable The Lion King’s hyenas could have presented differently Despite being set in the African savannah, The Lion King had an overwhelmingly white cast, which, looking back, made the representation of the hyena somewhat uncomfortable viewing.

Before long, the Pride Lands became a desolate and barren wasteland, and Simba’s return was presented as the only way the kingdom could return to its former glory. This led to the battle for Pride Rock, and after Simba defeated Scar, the rain began to fall, and the fire that had enveloped the land was washed away.

While it’s true that The Lion King's direct-to-video sequels squandered aspects of the franchise’s potential, these follow-ups were far from terrible and featured some clever storytelling and enjoyable music. In today’s cinematic climate, it would be a no-brainer for a sequel to The Lion King to be a theatrical release, but that was out of step with the filmmaking climate of the time.
