This death traumatized every child of the 90s

You surely know The Lion King, one of the classics of the Disney studio, and if you have seen it, you probably already know which scene we are talking about. Because the movie’s most surprising death is clearly that of Simba’s father.

Remember Mufasa’s fall into a canyon covered in wildlings! He goes to rescue baby Simba and once he’s taken to safety, he tries to climb as far as he can to avoid any danger, but his brother Scar is waiting for him. By digging its claws into its forelegs, it condemns it to death by being trampled under the feet of a wild animal.

All young viewers who have since discovered the film have been shocked and traumatized by the envious man’s so much evil (Scar) and the grief expressed by Simba when he learns that he will never see his father again, in addition to blaming himself. for his death.

We won’t count the number of little moviegoers who had to be comforted after this dramatic and visually impressive scene.

This tragic and traumatic event did not stop audiences from flocking to theaters to see the film, reaching 10 million in France and 1.65 billion worldwide. All time adjusted for inflation.

“Long live the king!”
