Meanwhile, Scar visits the hyenas and manages to convince them to help him overthrow Mufasa in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands. Though disappointed in Simba, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. Mufasa is alerted about the incident by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala (to whom Simba is betrothed) into exploring a forbidden elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by spotted hyenas led by Shenzi, Kamari, and Azizi.

Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king. Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the 'circle of life', which connects all living things. King Mufasa's and Queen Sarabi's newborn son, Simba, is presented to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom's shaman and advisor. In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rule over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock. As a result, Simba has to make an alliance and rebuild himself fully to take what is rightfully his. However, Mufasa's brother, Scar, plots to betray Mufasa and take over the Pride Lands, forcing Simba into exile, where he meets Timon and Pumbaa.

Simba, the son of Mufasa and the Prince of the Pride Lands, hopes to follow in his father's footsteps.
