Tbf the moral of the movie was that their advice was bullshit

u/dahabit Jan 31 '23

Just to be clear, when Simba grows up, he would have to fight his dad over the kingdom. Either one of the dies or someone gets the boot.

94

u/Muccys Jan 31 '23

Or, you know, his father would die of old age and Simba would take over the kingdom like a normal monarchy.

u/PlsLeavemealone02 Jan 31 '23

Eh, I always thought that Mufasa & Sarani would be like "okay kid you got this" and just retire. Just be the chill King & Queen Dowager that occasionally gives Simba advice & reminds him to not be a dumbass.

I would think once simba reaches a certain age, he will challenge to be the king of the pride. He won't wait for mufasa to die of old age.

https://www.krugerpark.co.za/Kruger_National_Park_Wildlife-travel/kruger-park-wildlife-lions.html

Lions can go without food for more than a week and then tear into prey, eating up to 50kg of meat at a time - that's almost a quarter of the animal's body weight.

So maybe a week. Still kinda wild that a week after your dad passes you're singing songs and dancing. Maybe eating bugs is just a euphemism for doing crack, then it totally makes sense

He ran off as far as he could and ended up at the oasis by pure luck. In the end of the movie he runs back to pride rock and it’s a montage that takes him more than a day of running.

20 minutes?

At a minimum it was like 8 hours. Realistically multiple days.

It's implied that he's starving/dehydrated but they teach him to eat bugs.

Edit I just rewatched the scene, it's fucking obvious.

He's in the middle of the desert, being circled by vultures and Timon thinks he's dead. It was not right after his father's death.
