Is Mufasa alive?

No, Scar killed Mufasa to become king. At the end of the movie, Simba killed Scar.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, Simba did not kill Mufasa. When Simba found Mufasa dead, Scar lied to Simba about causing his father's death because Simba didn't know what death is. By the way, "Simba killed Scar" is incorrect. The hyenas killed Scar because he called them the "enemies".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, Simba did not kill Mufasa. Scar lied to Simba about Mufasa'a death by saying Simba killed him but it was only because scar could be king. Simba did kill Scar the same way Scar killed Mufasa.
In the movie Lion King, Simba did not kill Scar the hyanes did.

Where was The Lion King published?

No, it's not. It started off as the film makers' original story out of their own heads. When they started on the movie, they didn't even have any idea what the story would be about except that it would be about lions. Originally its name wasn't even The Lion King but 'The King of the Jungle'. That's why there was numerous drastically different scripts and concepts which were constantly changing and developing.

As the profuction went on, the story became to have elements from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet - the prince of Denmark whose evil uncle took over the kingdom after murdering Hamlet's father while Hamlet was out of country, and in the end Hamlet sees his father's ghost who guides Hamlet and Hamlet returns to claim the throne. Some of The Lion King story origins from Biblical stories such as the story of Moses who was born to royalty but exiled at young age, grows up elsewhere and in the end returns home to save his people from slavery. This is literally evident from the film itself and confirmed in the 'Story Origins' featurette on the Disc 2 of the DVD.

The same year after the movie was released, was published a fanfiction book series called 'The Lion King: Six New Adventures' that is based on the film - those books many fans treat as canon source but in fact they are not. It is only profit fanfiction written by people who did not and do not work at the Walt Disney Company.

What was the first lesson simba learned from his father?

Supposedly, that being brave is not the same as going looking for trouble and that even king's get scared. There was before that the lesson about the circle of life and how a king must respect all creatures but there is no evidence that Simba actually learned it at that time, so I'd say it was that one about bravery which he was thought after the incident at the Elephant Graveyard.

A list of Lion King-Hamlet character allusions: Sarabi (Gertrude), Timon & Pumbaa (Rosencrantz and Guilderstern), and Nala (Ophelia). Zazu is possibly representative of Polonius, and the hyenas could be Laertes though it is here that the Shakespeare allusions become more ambiguous.

Who sings the theme song for the lion king?

This question is rather vague, but I'll give it my best shot. If you're referring to the chant/yell at the very beginning of the movie, that was sung by Lebo M, a native of South Africa. He lead the African chorus that you hear in the background of many of the songs throughout the movie.

If you're asking about the individual characters, here are the only ones I could find (NOTE: These are not the same as their speaking voices):

- Simba = Jason Weaver

- Scar = Jim Cummings (who voiced Ed)
