The Lion King (the first movie in the series) is basically about a lion prince's ascension into his rightful role as the "Lion King". Mufasa, who at the time is the current lion king, tells his brother Scar about his new born son. Scar is mad because he wants to be king, but he cannot for as long as Mufasa and his son is alive. Scar then kills Mufasa by means of stampeding wildebeests and makes Mufasa's cub (whose name is Simba) think that he, himself caused his father's death. He felt bad and is told to run away by Scar to avoid a harsh punishment of death. This is only a trick by Scar to have Simba killed though. He manages to not be killed and is found by two other animals; a warthog and a meerkat whose names are Timon(meerkat) and Pumbaa(warthog). Then there are things he learns like how to catch grub(bugs and critters) to survive and a song. Then his lioness friend, Nala, finds him and tells him to come back cause he is the rightful king and their homeland is trashed by Scar and his minions. The ending consists of Simba fighting his uncle Scar, and though almost being killed, he manges to avenge his father's death by ultimately killing Scar and getting rid of his minions. Their homeland, in turn, goes back to being peaceful.
It all begins in lion king 1 when Mufasa and Sarabi the king and Queen of the pride lands have a son and they name
him Simba. Scar Mufasas brother has always wanted to be King so when Simba is born he is pushed further away from
achieing his dream so him and the hyenas plan to kill them both but they only kill Mufasa and Scar lets Simba think
It was his fault and Scar says to him "Simba, Run, Run away and never Return!" Scar takes over the Pridelands.
So Simba runs and Scar sends the Hyenas chasing after him to make sure he leaves the Pride Lands.
He runs out into the desert and he is founf lying in the sun by Timon a Meerkat and Pumba a warthog and they save Simba
and they end up becoming very good friends and Simba grows up with them and His childhood friend Nala a cub lionesss
has also grown up and she goes searching for help becasue when Scar took over the Pridelands he wrecked it and there
was no more food or water left and when she was searching for help she bumped into Simba and they don't recognise each other
so they start to fight and then they recognise each other and Nala tells Simba about Scar and reminds him that he is supposed
to be king and that everyone in the Pridelands thinks he is dead and so Nala, Simba, Timon and Pumba returns to Pridelands and
Simba and his pride find out that Scar killed Mufasa becasue they all got told Simba done it so the lionesses and Simba start to fight
against Scar and the Hyenas and Simba and the Lionesses win so Simba becomes King of the Pridelands.
Then in Lion King 2 Nala and Simba have a daughter and call her Ciara.
Ciara goes off exploring and she bumps into Kovu Zeras son who is an outsider and an enemy of Simbas and they become good friends but
Simba does not like this but Zera gets Kovu and Ciara to be friends so she can get back into the pridelands and kill Simba so when he
and Ciara have grown up Zera gets her children to start a fire well Ciara is out on a hunt and she gets Kovu to go and save her from the
fire and ask if he can join Simbas pride and Simba refuses but Nala says "Simba you owe him your daughters life!"
So Simba lets him join his pride but is not happy with it.
After a while Kovu and Ciara get to know each other and Kovu falls in love with Ciara so he doesnt want to be
part of Zeras plot.
so he plans to tell Ciara but Simba wants to talk to Kovu so they go for a walk and talk and all of a sudden Simba
and Kovu are surrounded by Zera and her Lionesses and she tells Simba about her plot and he is dissapoined in Kovu and
Kovu tells Simba that he no longer has anyhting to do with it and they all attack Simba but Kovu fights for Simba.
Simba returns to the Pridelands hours later injured and tells ciara about kovu and she doesnt understand cos she loved him.
when Kovu returns to the Pridelands he is told to leave and Ciara gets upset so she runs away and she finds Kovu and
Kovu says they shoukd run away together but Ciara tells him that theyre home is in the Pridelands. meanwhile Zera and her
Lionesses and Simba and his Pride are fighting and Kovu and Ciara return to the Pridelands and they stop the fight and
she says to Simba her dad "Look at them, look at us what difference do you see, they are us!"
and Zeras lionesses walk over and join Simbas pride and Zera says "Fine if you wont fight then you will die aswell!"
And they all join Simbas pride and then Zera says "This is for you Scar!
Zera pounces on Ciara and they go rolling down a cliff and then after a fight between the two Zera is hanginf off a cliff
about to fall into the fast flowing river and Ciara says "Zera give me your paw i will help you!"
But Zera just hangs there and eventually Zera falls and Ciara climbs up the cliff and her dad hugs her and they all
cheer for her and Simba says to Kovu "I was wrong about you" and then Simba says Lets go home all of us.
So they all go back to Pride Rock even Zeras Lionesses which are now part of the pride.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
The Morning Report: (only in the 2003 Special Edition version)
Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all
Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks
Showed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said, "No thanks!"
We haven't paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunch
Not everyone invited will be coming back for lunch
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
What are you doing, son?
Pouncing.
Let an old pro show you how it's done.
The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file
To near the bottom rung
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung
Awk!
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
I Just Can't Wait to be King:
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
(You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...)
No one saying do this
(Now when I said that, I -)
No one saying be there
(What I meant was...)
No one saying stop that
(Look, what you don't realize...)
No one saying see here
(Now see here!)
Free to run around all day
(Well, that's definitely out...)
Free to do it all my way!
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!
(Not yet!)
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
Be Prepared:
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!
Hakuna Matata:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Why, when he was a young warthog...
When I was a young wart hoooog!
Very nice.
Thanks!
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Ev'rytime that I...
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry.
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Yeah, sing it, kid!
It's our problem-free
philosophy...
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna matata
[Repeats]
It means no worries
For the rest of your days.
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Repeats to fade]
Can You Feel the Love Tonight:
I can see what's happening
(What?)
And they don't have a clue
(Who?)
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
(Oh.)
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed
The song Be Prepared is supposed to be the bad guy or villain song for the movie. It is sung by Scar who wants to take control of the forest from his brother Mufasa. The song tells about how things will be once Scar is in control.
It is basically the same as Walt Disney's version of the Lion King, though there are minor changes in the musical, such as gender changes of characters and additional musical sequences.
That is a great song. Youp can find the lyrics to The Lion King song Be Prepared at Stlyrics. Besides the Be Prepared lyrics, you can also find lyrics from other classical Disney movies.
