In this beloved Disney classic, the antagonist Scar lures Simba, King Mufasa’s son and heir, into a dangerous wildebeest stampede. The King reaches the place in an attempt to save his son and manages to do so, but Scar, quite cunningly, throws him into the stampede. The scene shows Scar standing on top of a hill and Mufasa hanging from the cliff. Now, a video of a fight between two cats, thankfully without the deadly end result, has reminded people about the scene from the film. There’s a possibility that after seeing the clip, you’ll think that too.
Shared by a Twitter user with the caption “Long live the king,” a reference from the film, the clip was tweeted on September 6.
