The most financially successful film in the [[Disney Animated Canon]], '''''The Lion King''''' tells the story of Simba, a lion who is heir of the African Pride Lands. After his father, Mufasa, dies, his uncle Scar tells him it's [[It's All My Fault|all Simba's fault]], ordering him to run away.
Simba subsequently runs away from the Pride Lands, and is found and rescued by [[Those Two Guys|Timon and Pumbaa]], a meerkat and warthog duo who raise him under the philosophy of "[[Hakuna Matata]]" -- "no worries". Many years later, Simba meets an old friend from the past, and realizes that he must return to reclaim his dying kingdom.
Line 169 ⟶ 170:
* [[Epic Movie]]: Arguably Disney's most well known example from their animated films.
** [[The Epic]]: Essentially, this film is a straight up classical one.
* [[Eucatastrophe]]: Scar goes farther with this trope, he [[Magnificent Bastard|just not only successfully took over Pride Rock]], but holds on his position for several years (never mind his [[0% Approval Rating]]), until Simba returns.
** Secondly, he almost won, but [[Just Between You and Me|he let Simba in his "little secret" just before killing him]], thus allowing Simba to go [[Unstoppable Rage|unstoppable rage]] on him.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: After Scar takes over Pride Rock and drives everything to ruin and starvation, the hyenas become resentful of him, because they, too, are starving (see [[Equal Opportunity Evil]] above).
** And at the end, when Scar inadvertently betrays them, {{spoiler|the hyenas advance on Scar and attack and kill him}}.
