Fan Finds "Twisted 'Lion King' Easter Egg" That's Been Under Our Noses for Decades

What took place to Mufasa's frame after his demise in 'The Lion King'? One fan of the film has connected the dots and it isn't pretty.

If you're like several excellent '90s kid, then you've most probably watched The Lion King about a zillion occasions. You knew all the songs and most of the discussion through heart. Maybe you even performed Timon and Pumba's diversion dance ad naueseam to the chagrin of your family who gently reminded you each Christmas that it stopped being lovable years ago and possibly you must in any case get a job.

So you are 100% sure you already know everything there's to find out about The Lion King, together with the film's trade finishing where Scar actually "defeats" Simba, and, mad with energy, cackles maniacally atop Pride Rock as the flames circle around his body, in the long run consuming him and he dies in a fit of madness.

Pretty darkish for a children' Disney flick, right? I imply, it is not like they'd deliberately come with one thing so brutal in the film, proper? That's why that ending ultimately went to the reducing room ground.

Well an eagle-eyed Lion King fan spotted one thing that was included within the movie that can be way harsher than that unique, terrifying finishing, and it has to do with Mufasa's frame.

The factor is, this whole idea is based totally in medical reality. After Mufasa falls to his death at the traitorous paws of his evil brother, Scar, and Simba's scared into exiling himself out of the dominion, Scar's left as without equal ruler of the lions.

Here's a query most folks didn't ask whilst observing the movie: what took place to Mufasa's body?

It's not like Lions bury their dead, is it? And if the rest about Lion King's inception, Disney did a large number of analysis at the back of the social behaviors of these massive cats.

Naturally one would assume that an animal would devour the lion after his death, choosing his bones clean. Well, those hyenas who hate him would most probably tear him to shreds and devour him, proper?

There's somewhat of a problem with that concept, then again: hyenas do not eat lions. And it's not like lions have any predators that feast on their remains. In reality, finally of his research, he came upon in truth that the one animals who eat lions after they die are...well...other lions.

Gulp. The video under explains the whole lot in best possible element:

OK, so I know what you are pondering: "Yeah, but the starved hyenas at the end of the movie ultimately kill Scar and eat him because they're driven to hunger. And Scar promises them that they'll never go hungry again, so we know that famine was a big concern for the hyenas, right?"

Well, we could think that the wild dogs ate Mufasa's dead frame, on the other hand, there's this scene in Scar's gave where he's gloatingly taking part in with a skull.

Now I do know all of the lit majors are going to chime in and say, neatly it's a reference to Yorick in Hamlet, the Shakespeare play that Lion King was once primarily based closely on. Firstly, Hamlet (Simba) will have to be the one enjoying with the cranium if that's the case, and it also doesn't explain why Scar is so happy enjoying with the stated cranium.

And when you look at a lion's cranium in genuine lifestyles, you'll be able to realize that the only Scar's taking part in with is indeed...a...lion's cranium.

So now do you know why everyone hates Scar additional within the movie? Not handiest are they mourning the dying of their loved chief, however they almost definitely simply witnessed his lifeless body being consumed through his brother.

While all of the lions almost certainly had iffy feelings about Scar, to start with, this just sealed the deal for him that they were in for a rough duration of rule under this terrible new lion king. Oh, and the army of Hyenas did not assist both.

Twitter was once understandably shaken via this revelation, even supposing some other people had questions on the opportunity of Mufasa being eaten by Scar. But the fact stays: there's a lot of real-life proof mixed with explicit scene references to conclude it's very perhaps Mufasa was once eaten by means of the brother who survived him.
