Line 9:
** The scene also became a tearjerker for the film's creators, as they received a letter from a young boy who had lost his father, thanking the creators for the film as it helped him deal with his loss. The staff were moved to tears by it.
** The scene is even more heartbreaking in theaters, in 3D...
** This scene may be '''worse''' than the death of [[
** There's also the fact that, unlike Bambi's mom (who's a 'standard mom' character), Mufasa is a *real* character with heart and humor who the audience has come to love and sympathize with. To see him snuffed out so cruelly is just...
** And if nothing else gets to you with Mufasa's death, how about when Simba crawls under Mufasa's limp arm [[Cradle of Loneliness|so it will almost be like his father is holding him one last time]]...
Line 50:
{{quote| '''Simba:''' You said you'd always be there for me! ...But your're not. It's because of me. [[It's All My Fault|It's my fault]]. ''It's my fault.''}}

*** This is actually made quite clear in ''Lion King 1 1/2'', when cub Simba can't sleep because he "had a bad dream". The utter look of suffering on Simba's face is heartbreaking, and even though he has no idea what the dream was about, Timon's comforting reaction is so sweet and shows he really is a [[Jerk
* There's a very understated bit during the stampede. Zazu is flying through the gorge searching for Simba and finds him desperately clinging to a tree branch over the rampaging wildebeest. Simba cries out for Zazu to help him, and all Zazu can do is reassure him that his father is coming and tell him to hold on. Simba has caused Zazu plenty of irritation in the past, but [[Rowan Atkinson]]'s excellent voice acting definitely gives the impression that right now Zazu would give anything to be able to pull Simba out of harm's way.
** Nasty [[Fridge Horror]] when considering Zazu for this whole thing. After Mufasa goes down into the gorge to save Simba, Zazu tries to fly back to Pride Rock and get help, only to be smacked into a wall by Scar and knocked unconscious. Imagine what happened when Zazu woke up. He probably thought he panicked and hit the wall himself and failed to get potential help for Mufasa and Simba because of it. Until the truth comes out later, it's not unreasonable to think that he blamed himself and felt that he failed both Simba and his king. It makes a [[Deadpan Snarker]] character suddenly seem [[The Woobie|very woobieish.]]
