Every bit they reconcile, Mufasa tells Simba that all the stars in the night sky are the spirits of kings past and that they will always be there to guide him, as volition he.

  Back in the graveyard, the hyenas lick their wounds and quarrel with each other. Their fights are broken up by Scar who is greeted as a friend. Irritated that the hyenas couldn't dispose of the cubs, he proposes a plan that would eliminate both Simba and Mufasa from the throne.

  The next twenty-four hours, Scar escorts Simba through a gorge and puts him well-nigh a rock shaded by a sapling, telling him that Mufasa is planning a surprise for him. Scar instructs Simba to stay put while he fetches Mufasa and suggests that he practise his roar while he's away. Just higher up the gorge, the iii hyenas prevarication in look in front of a massive herd of wildebeest. Scar appears in a higher place them, signaling them. As Simba waits, scowling over his little roar, a chameleon climbs downward from the tree.

Simba runs off as Scar instructs his hyenas to kill him. The three hyenas chase Simba to the edge of an incline where he tumbles into a sea of brambles. Minor enough to avert the sharp spikes, Simba runs through them as the hyenas barely manage to stop about the base. Unlucky Banzai is shoved into the brambles and emerges howling, stuck with thorns. The hyenas watch every bit Simba runs into the distant desert and decide that he will most likely die, shouting to him that if he ever comes back they volition kill him.

  Scar returns to Pride Rock to denote that both Simba and Mufasa have perished in the stampede and assumes the part as king. The lionesses expect on in fear every bit a horde of hyenas arrives to alive alongside Scar at Pride Rock. Rafiki watches sullenly from a distance and smears the paradigm he had once created of Simba.

  In the desert, Simba has collapsed under the heat and a group of vultures descends on him.

The warthog, Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), then discovers Simba and brings him to the attending of his meerkat companion, Timon (Nathan Lane). Timon is initially afraid of the young lion simply Pumbaa asserts that he's nonetheless little and volition grow upwards to be on their side instead of eating them. Timon scoffs at the idea, before suggesting the very aforementioned thing as his ain. Pumbaa picks Simba up and carries him into the shade where he'south revived.

Simba begins to cheer up and eventually grows into a healthy, carefree adult (Matthew Broderick).

  Meanwhile, the Pride Lands have been reduced to a wasteland nether Scars rule. Zazu is confined to a os cage singing while Scar lazily lies about chewing on bones. Zazu mutters nether his jiff that he never had to exercise this under Mufasa. Scar reels on the name, citing that the law is to never mention Mufasas proper name. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed appear, complaining that food and h2o have become deficient and that the lionesses refuse to chase. Scar suggests they eat Zazu as Banzai lets slip Mufasas name before he corrects himself under Scars glare. Scar so dismisses them.

  Back in the jungle, Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa lie downwardly together after a repast of bugs to look up at the night sky. Pumbaa asks what the sparkling lights in the heaven are to which Timon replies that they're fireflies that got stuck in the big, bluish-black thing. Pumbaa says he'd always thought they were called-for balls of gas billions of miles abroad, a theory which Timon debunks due to Pumbaa's flatulent nature. They enquire Simba what he thinks. Answering simply to their begging, he says he was once told that the lights are great kings of the past watching over them. Timon starts cracking upward over the thought of purple dead guys watching them, but Simba wanders off, saddened over the memory of his male parent. He sighs and collapses onto a bunch of wild flowers, spreading their petals and leaves to the wind. The wind carries them back to the Pride Lands where Rafiki, sitting atop his tree, grabs them. He takes them back into the tree where he sniffs them and contemplates the apparent familiar smell. All of a sudden information technology strikes him; Simba must be alive. Crazed with happiness, he apace smears a mane around the head of his Simba cartoon, stating that it is fourth dimension.

  Timon and Pumbaa are walking through the jungle together when Pumbaa becomes distracted by a large rhino beetle. Hungry, he follows it to the edge of the jungle and sneaks up on it every bit its perched on a log facing some grassland. His center then catches something in the alpine grass every bit the protrude flies away. Pumbaa screams as a lioness emerges from the grasses and gives chase. Hearing Pumbaa, Timon comes running and finds him stuck in the roots of a tree. He tries to free Pumbaa equally the lioness draws closer. She leaps forward but Simba jumps in and begins to fight with her while Timon cheers him on. He tries to knock her down but she flips him over and pins him to the ground. Simba recognizes this motion and his old friend, Nala (Moira Kelly). When he reveals himself, Nala is shocked and happy to see him again. Simba introduces her to Pumbaa and Timon, who is less than happy about the reunion since Nala had tried to eat Pumbaa. Nala tells Simba that everyone in the Pride Lands thought he was dead after Scar told them almost the stampede. Nervous, Simba asks what else Scar told them, but Nala says that it doesn't matter now that he'south alive and the rightful rex. Simba excuses Timon and Pumbaa to speak to Nala solitary. As they walk through the jungle together the romantic settings encourage their feelings for each other, though Simba is hesitant to talk to Nala nearly his by. She tries to get Simba to go back to the Pride Lands with her, telling him that everything has fallen into disarray since Scar took the throne. He refuses, explaining that he shouldn't worry about things that happened in the past, which angers Nala. She tells Simba that returning to the throne is his responsibility simply he storms off and walks out of the jungle to an open field. He tries to justify his decision before yelling at the night heaven that Mufasa wasn't there for him and feeling solemn that it was his fault.

  He then hears singing coming from a tree behind him and sees Rafiki in the branches. Irritated, he walks away. Rafiki follows him and asks him a series of rhetorical questions and chanting seemingly nonsensical words. Convinced that the baboon is crazy and confused, Simba turns to walk abroad when Rafiki reveals that he knows Simba is Mufasas son. Rafiki then runs off and Simba follows. He finds Rafiki mediating on a rock and asks if he knew his begetter. Rafiki says "I know your father", to which Simba responds that he died. Rafiki laughs, maxim that Mufasa is alive, and leads Simba through a thicket of trees and vines. They stop at a reflecting pool and Rafiki instructs Simba to look into it. Seeing only his reflection at first, Simba looks harder and sees an image of Mufasa. Rafiki says that Mufasa lives inside him as a large storm cloud appears overhead and a specter of Mufasa speaks out to Simba, proverb that he has forgotten who he is and that he must accept his rightful place as the truthful king of Pride Stone. Simba begs his father to stay just the apparition disappears, echoing that Simba must recall who he is. As Simba contemplates the bulletin and the change in the winds, Rafiki wallops him over the head with his staff. Outraged and in pain, Simba asks what he did that for. Rafiki says that information technology doesn't matter considering its in the past, but though the by may still hurt, ane can either run from it or learn from information technology. He swings his staff once more and Simba ducks before grabbing the staff and throwing it abroad. Then Rafiki watches and thanks as Simba runs off, announcing that he'south going back.

  Timon and Pumbaa are sleeping together as Nala approaches them and nudges them awake, frightening them at first. She asks if they've seen Simba but Rafiki appears overhead and declares that the king has returned. Confused past this statement and Rafikis mysterious arrival and departure, Timon and Pumbaa mind equally Nala tries to explain that Simba has decided to go back to the Pride Lands to accept his place every bit king.

  Crossing the desert, Simba finally arrives in the Pride Lands to find it dark and arid. He eyes Pride Stone with a wait of vengeance when Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa appear beside him. They all agree to help Simba reclaim the throne, though Timon is less than impressed by the landscape they're fighting for. They sneak over to Pride Stone and discover that its itch with hyenas. Simba offers Timon and Pumbaa as live bait and they do put on a colorful performance for the hungry hyenas while he and Nala move closer. Simba instructs Nala to rally the lionesses while he looks for Scar. He finds him at the base of operations of Pride Rock, calling loudly for Sarabi. Hyenas nip at her heels every bit she approaches and Simba looks on mournfully. Scar questions her every bit to why the lionesses refuse to hunt. Sarabi explains that the herds have moved on and their only chance for survival is to get out Pride Rock. Scar refuses and, when Sarabi compares him to Mufasa, he cruelly hits her. Having seen enough, Simba appears on a ledge and runs downwardly to condolement his female parent. Scar backs away, fearful that its Mufasa that has returned, but when he realizes who information technology really is, he shoots a hateful glare at Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. Simba confronts Scar, enervating that he step downwards from the throne or fight, but sly Scar asks why things must end in violence and says he would feel terrible if he were responsible for the death of a family unit member. Though Simba says he's put the by behind him, Scar questions whether the lionesses have done the aforementioned. When Nala questions this, Scar prompts Simba to tell them all who was responsible for Mufasas death. Sadly, Simba confesses that he was, though it was an blow. Scar uses this and accuses Simba of being a murderer, backing him up to the finish of Pride Rock to the point where Simba slips over the edge, dangling by his paws. Lightning strikes and ignites a fire beneath him as Scar looks over him, remarking that this was just the way Mufasa looked earlier he died. Then Scar grabs Simbas paws and whispers in his ear that he was the i to impale Mufasa.

  Enraged, Simba leaps over the edge and pins Scar, choking him to confess the truth to the lionesses. Fighting immediately breaks out betwixt the hyenas and the lions. Timon and Pumbaa join the fray with their signature bowling moves and Rafiki impresses with some acrobatic martial arts. When Timon is cornered past Shenzi and Banzai in the lions den with Zazu, Pumbaa comes to the rescue, his fury provoked when Banzai accidentally calls him a squealer.

  Scar manages to slip abroad from the fighting simply is followed by Simba. They come across at the summit of Pride Stone surrounded by flames where Scar begs for his life, saying that he'southward family and that the hyenas are the real enemy. Having heard this, the hyenas back away growling. Simba relents, saying that he'southward not similar Scar and tells him to run abroad and never return. Scar meekly walks by him but sends a pile of embers into Simbas face up, blinding him for a moment. Scar then attacks Simba and a fierce fight ensues. Scar manages to knock Simba down and leaps at him but, using the technique Nala had mastered in her pinning, Simba flips Scar with his hind legs over the edge of Pride Stone. Scar tumbles down the stone face and lands at the base. He groggily stands up and notices the hyenas approaching him from between the flames. He greets them as his friends but they reply that he said they were the enemy. Scar looks at them in horror as they lick their lips and surround him before attacking.

  Pelting begins to autumn and Simba returns to the lionesses where he greets his female parent and Nala. Rafiki rattles his staff and points it towards the tip of Pride Rock. He bows to Simba, who gives him a hug, and says it is time. Equally anybody watches, and as the rain washes away dust and bones, Simba ascends Pride Rock, gazing one terminal fourth dimension at the heavens before letting out a mighty roar and sealing his position every bit king. The lionesses bring together in, hailing their new king. Some time later, the animals of the Pride Lands gather once again at Pride Stone, auspicious at Simba and Nala as they overlook the kingdom.
