Here are some of the best The Lion King lines. Rafiki lifts the lion cub up into the air, and the circle of life continues. Timon and Pumbaa are now there on the rock, embracing their new roles in the lions’ lives. All the animals in the Serengeti return to Pride Rock, this time to see the cub of Simba and Nala. The finale only lasts for a couple of pages at the very end, but it’s a perfect mirror to the beginning of the screenplay. Scar double-crosses Simba, but this leads to him falling and being torn apart by the hyenas. The two battle it out with Simba ultimately giving Scar the option to leave Pride Rock and never return. Simba gets Scar to reveal to the rest of the pride that he was the one who orchestrated Mufasa’s death. The climax is the final confrontation between Simba and Scar. It’s an emotionally-charged conversation, and it’s the driving force that allows Simba to return to Pride Rock and assume his destiny. This build-up is further amplified when Simba speaks to Mufasa in the clouds.

It’s the next step in Simba learning his destiny. Simba meets with Rafiki later, who teaches the lion that he can’t allow himself to be defined by his past. Simba is no longer concerned with one day assuming the throne, and he chooses to live the “Hakuna Matata” lifestyle with no worries. This occurs page 56, so in the middle of The Lion King script, we receive a tonal shift. MidpointĪfter Simba escapes from the hyenas, he meets Timon and Pumbaa. Scar returns to Pride Rock and takes control of the pride. Simba runs away, but Scar believes him to be dead. Mufasa saves Simba’s life, but at the expense of his own. Scar lures Simba into a wildebeest stampede. His plan fails, and this leads into the next plot point. His goal is to kill the young Simba so that he may one day take control of the throne.

Here, Scar goads Simba into exploring the elephant graveyard. Inciting IncidentĪfter we learn more about the characters, the inciting incident occurs on page 16. The scene sets up how the lions rule over this land, and the song sets up the themes the movie will explore. Over this scene, the song “Circle of Life” plays. For the first few pages, we just get that epic opening shot of the Serengeti, ending with Rafiki lifting Simba into the air.

The Lion King script is interesting because the first line of dialogue does not come until page 5. THE LION KING SYNOPSIS WHAT IS THE PLOT OF LION KING? 1.
