Simba

Voiced by: Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick


Scar: What are you going to do? You wouldn't kill your own uncle?
Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.

Mufasa

Voiced by: James Earl Jones


Scar

Voiced by: Jeremy Irons


  • Ambiguously Brown: As far as lions go anyway. Also counts as Unfortunate Implications. Said Unfortunate Implications are reversed when you realize he's voiced by a white British actor while Mufasa's voiced by an African-American.
    • And they're lessened quite a bit when you realize he's just Color-coded for our convenience: Given how a lot of other Disney villains wear dark clothing, and lions don't wear clothes...
  • Ambiguously Gay: See here.
    • Elaborating on that, Scar never had a queen, despite being surrounded by lionesses. Also it's easy to forget, but Simba and Nala had an arranged marriage, which implies that Scar didn't just fail to get a queen, but refused to get one.
    • Though we do find out he had a mate in the sequel, and not having an Arranged Marriage might be justified by the fact that he's not first in line.
    • Busted! In a deleted scene found on the Diamond Edition Blu-Ray, Scar discusses his need to find a queen and then coaxes Nala into becoming just that. Needless to say, she angrily refuses and runs off. The scene would be the set-up for the scene where she finds Simba, but it was cut because it featured really creepy undertones (obviously), according to the commentary.
  • Ambition Is Evil
  • Badass: His scheme took major guts to pull off, and he almost won in the end.
  • Bad Boss: Lets the hyenas run rampant over the Pride Lands until even they run out of food, casually manipulates all of them into helping his selfish scheme, and ultimately tries to pass the blame onto them when he tries to weasel his way out of justice.
  • Berserk Button: Mentioning how much better of a king Mufasa was than him, probably because he knows it's true. Just using the M-word in front of him by itself sends him into a rage.
  • Big Bad
  • Black Sheep: We can probably assume that most lions in his family take after his brother, not him.
  • Brains Evil, Brawn Good: In his conflicts with both Simba and Mufasa. He even lampshades it.

"Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."

The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee,
Point that I must emphasize is,
YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME! (a random hyena falls into the crack in the ground)
