Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase.
Hakuna Matata, ‘ain’t no passing craze!
Here are all the things only adults will notice inThe Lion King.
When we watched this scene as children, it was heartbreaking.
Simba is innocent and it feels like everyone either hates him or wants him dead.
He was just so sweet and so small and we justCould.
Sorry, but the little dude would’ve been a total goner.
More than just roomies?
How much did you love Simba and Nala’s partnership when you were a kid?
What if there was another couple getting all Hakuna Matata in private and we totally missed it?
Call us controversial, but what if Timon and Pumbaa were low key dating?
And if not, why not?
They love each other dearly despite Timon’s constant sassing and Pumbaa’s constant gassing.
They accept each other’s flaws and roll with them, as any unconditional partnership should do.
Also, how good are they as surrogate parents for Simba?
Plus their couple name would be Timbaa, and you know that’scatchy as hell.
Where are all the African voices?
Nobody that’s who.
Scar and Zazu, for some inexplicable reason, are British.
How it morphs from being luscious, life-filled and bountiful into some sort of post apocalyptic wasteland?
But did you ever wonderhowthe heck that landscape change came about so quickly?
As a child, probably not.
Because really, the drama this little lion had to deal with was next level nuts.
Let’s break it down.
Firstly, hisfather was murdered by his uncle.
What a hot mess, right?
If this doesn’t screamJerry Springerfodder, nothing does.
Nala is one smart lioness, if you think about it.
So Nala turns to the only weapon she can pull out on a whim: her femininity.
Poor Zazu!
So of course we giggled whenScar tried to eat him who wouldn’t?
Now though, we genuinely feel sorry for him.
Give the bird some respect already!
