What are the Main events of the Lion King movie?
The most essential events in the story are: Baby Simba's blessing ceremony after his birth, Simba's uncle Scar revealing and singing about that he's going to kill the king and the prince (as in his own brother Mufasa and nephew Simba) in order to become the king and his attempt to kill them both at once by tricking little Simba into a stampede of wildebeest and fetching Mufasa to save the child. Mufasa manages to save Simba but Scar still manages to kill Mufasa. Simba finds his father's body and Scar blames the death on the child's existence and manipulates him to believe that Simba's mother wouldn't understand, and into exile. (Simba had practiced his roar earlier and at one point it echoed mightily in the canyon he was in, and at that very moment the stampede stirred. Scar was aiming at this so that Simba would blame himself. In fact, Scar stirred the stampede with three hyenas.)
Later dying Simba is rescued by Timon and Pumbaa and the child starts to live with them. Years later the grown up Simba is found by his childhood friend Nala and told about how his uncle Scar has destroyed the kingdom and everyone are starving. The following night Simba is visited by his father's ghost who tells him he must take his place as the rightful king. Simba returns to his home and challenges his uncle Scar for the throne and though Scar tries to win by revealing to everyone that it was Simba's fault that Mufasa died, he makes the mistake of revealing to Simba that in fact he, Scar, killed Mufasa. Then he has to tell it to everyone and after a final battle, Simba wins and takes his place as the rightful king.
At the very end they show Simba and Nala's cub being presented to the Pridelands the way Simba was at the beginning of the film. According to the film makers in 1995 and 2003 on the Laserdisc and DVD's commentary track, this cub doesn't have real name and gender in its own film but the official sequel made it a girl named Kiara.
When you die your bodies become the grass. what does it means in the movie the lion king?
It means that when we die and our bodies are buried in the ground, our body decays over time, and breaks down. The decayed material left over become part of the soil, and therefore, as quoted in the Lion King, become the grass, as grass grows from the soil :)
Is scar evil from The Lion King?
Scar never gave birth to cubs in the movies. In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, he is said to have appointed an heir to succeed him by the name of Kovu. However, it is stated twice he is not Scar's son. Nuka and Vitani, Kovu's siblings, are also not Scar's cubs due to Zira not being Scar's mate, but a deluded follower.
When is Mheetu seen in The Lion King because I know he is in it?
Well, Mheetu isn't in any of The Lion King films. Mheetu was Nala's tag-along little brother in early production of The Lion King. Mheetu's apperance in some pictures drawn by fans show him with light yellow fur and brown spots and blue eyes. In a early version of The Lion King, Simba saved Mheetu from the gorge and the stampede. However, there was nowhere to fit this in by the time the final storyboard was made, so little Mheetu had to be cut from the film.
it's written the same, but it's pronounced Lee-On (on pronounced like On in french)
According to the book series "The Lion King: Six New Adventures," Kopa was the son of Simba and Nala. (The cub we see at the very end of The Lion King. Since the cub we know as Kiara at the beginning of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is not only a girl, but of completely different coloring, fans theorized they are not the same.)
Since there is a distinction between the cub at the end of The Lion King and the one at the beginning of The Lion King II, fans began to winder what happened to poor little Kopa? Disney has never come out with an official explanation, but the fans have theorized plenty. Most of the theories involve Zira, Scar, or one of the other Outlander lions killing him.
Should moral lessons acompany academic lessons?
Children should mainly be taught moral values by their parents. In today's society thou, parents are busy working double shifts, putting in some extra hours at work, or spend hours commuting, and do not have enough time to build a strong moral foundation in their children.
Studies have shown that parents spend an average of 45 minutes a day with their children. That is barely enough to eat breakfast in the morning, and read a bed time story at night. There is not enough time left for teaching.
Schools are already teaching children moral values by teaching them about sexual education, politics, and religion. (Oh wait, they took out religion...) We should come up with a universally accepted moral values list, and teach it to children in school.Take out religious influence, political views, and teach what's left.
Example of a moral value list could be:
Do not kill.
Do not lie.
Do not steal.
Respect elderly.
Respect your parents.
Respect and obey local and governmental authority.
These are just some basic things that do not offend, and are some of the building blocks our society is built on.
Therefore, YES, schools should teach moral values. Without good moral values, a society can not, and will not work.
it is the duty of every parent to teach moral values to their children, this is not the job of the teacher, they teach subjects to help them in life and later on for finding employment

Sarabi- Mirage
Kiara- Small, Dark thing
Can shere khan from jungle book kill scar from lion king?
They both can win a fight with each other, but the one fighting in the home field would win. For example, shere khan would win the fight in a forest, but scar would win the fight in a grassland. Shere Khan is stronger, has more muscles with longer claws and teeth, and is heavier, but scar is a better fighter than shere khan.
The name is Zazu, and he is a hornbill bird and the royal advisor, counsellor in Pride Lands. First serving king Mufasa, Simba's father. Then king Scar - Muafasa's brother, who stole the throne by murdering Mufasa and sending Simba - Mufasa's son, his nephew - into exile but meaning to have him killed too. However, Simba escaped death and some five years later he returns to claim back his place as the true king of Pride Lands, and then Zazu served as king Simba's advisor. During Simba's childhood before he was exiled, Zazu also served as a babysitter to Simba and his best friend Nala.
Simba does not die. But in the second film, he has a nightmare about the wildebeest stampede that happened in the first. Simba as an adult tries to safe his father, Mufasa. But, his evil uncle Scar (which his real name is Taka) who kills Mufasa in the first film. So Scar dugs his claws into Simba's right shoulder and says to him, "Trust me". Then Mufasa falls into the stampede. Simba as in the first movie yells no. Simba then turns around and blames Scar for Mufasa's death. Scar laughs evily and then he turns into Kovu. So Kovu does the same thing to Simba. But if Simba really died, I think that it would ruin the saga. Nothings the same without Simba.
In lion king timon was a what?
The meerkat, the leader of the batchelor gang formed by him and the warthog Pumbaa and eventually prince Simba.
There is no official statement about their relation other than the movie's content, but as that evidently has them have an arranged marriage, fall in love and have a child together - the answer is very likely an absolute NO. It's a Walt Disney cartoon and Disney is a kid-friendly company. It has no interest in promoting incest in any shape or form.
And it also must be remarked that even if real life lions inbreed, The Lion King movie lions are not real life lions but basically human: Real life lions don't have (arranged) marriages but humans do, real life lions don't fall in love but humans do. Real life lion pride's leader isn't bowed down to as a king and doesn't have human responsibilities and they don't raise their cubs the way Mufasa and Simba raised theirs, but humans do. Real life lions don't have royal blessing ceremonies for their babies but humans do. Real life lions don't mind inbreeding but humans do.
Cousins having a child together = incest.
Humans + incest = big no-no.
Disney lions = basically human.
Simba and Nala cousins/half-siblings = Never.
Is kovu from the Lion King scar's son?
No. It's said twice in the film and once in a deleted scene found in the special features on the DVD.
What is the hero's journey in the Lion King?
Call To Adventure
Simba is older now (like a teenager), and Nala comes to tell him that the once wonderful land he used to live in is now a wasteland and overrun by his evil uncle.
Refusal of the Call
He refuses at first because he's been gone for a long time and is embarrassed because he ran away. He also still thinks he is responsible for his father's death.

Crossing of the First Threshold
Simba is leaving paradise for his homeland that has now become a wasteland run by Scar and the hyenas. He must be ready to fight his uncle and face his family, as well as take responsibility for the entire kingdom. He eventually goes because he can't bear the thought of his suffering mother.
Belly of the Whale
Simba leaves behind his childhood and chooses to enter the belly of the whale, moving towards his right to be king.
Road of Trials
Simba will face his family and fight his Uncle Scar. He doesn't really want to fight, but is not afraid of anything except facing his family. He receives help from Nala, Timon, and Pumba.
Atonement with the Father
Simba is told the truth about his father's death not being his fault. He realizes that the only way to make his father truly proud is to take on his responsibility of king.

Normal life returns when Simba becomes king, rebuilds the kingdom, marries Nala, and has a cub of his own.
Freedom To Live
Simba does achieve the ability to let go of the fear and anger due to his father's death. He certainly does not regret the past, and he anticipates the future to be bright with his new family and kingdom.

What was Scar's name before he got his scar?
They never mention what Scar's real name was in the film universe. In a series of books approved by the general Disney, his birth name was Taka but that is not the movie Scar's real name because it was not approved by Scar's creators as in the first film's makers - as is evident from the commentary track of the film. That name is barely semi-official, because even though Disney gave its stamp on the books, that name was made up by a man who wasn't part of Disney. As in that Disney only holds copyrights of the name, it didn't come up with it. And as said, it isn't the movie Scar's real name. His real name remains unknown.
