![]() The number of Simba's whiskers on each side of his cheek changes from 4 to 5 and back again in some scenes. A second later, during Nala's close-up, Sarafina's toes are once again the same as her body. However, when Scar is informing the pride of the accident, her toes are lighter. ![]() (at around 40 mins) In her first appearance, Nala's mother Sarafina's toes are the same color as the rest of her body. In the next shot when Simba 'roars', the ground is clean. When Simba and Nala are trying to escape the hyenas and fall through the rotten elephant remains, there is debris on the ground. In second, Banzai when he claws at Simba fleeing from the gorge after Mufasa's death: he lets four visible scratches on the rock where the lion cub barely escapes. However, they get a thumb on two occasions for plot purpose: in first, Shenzi when she catches Zazu hastily fleeing from them in the graveyard. Normally, the hyenas possess only three digits. When the young Simba and Nala are walking towards the "water hole" with Zazu flying above his shadow does not flap its wings as often as Zazu does. But it is sunrise, the sun, and therefore the light, should be on their right. Also, in the next shot, when Simba and Mufasa are facing south towards the 'shadowy place', their right sides are in shadow, with the light shining from the left. However, as Simba says "Everything the light touches", his shadow is in front of him, which is wrong. When Mufasa and Simba are talking at the top of Pride Rock, facing the sun, their shadows stream out behind them, which is correct. When we see Timon and Pumbaa briefly, they are dry while the other characters all have signs of being wet. In one of the final scenes where Simba walks up Pride Rock to roar, it is raining. Near the end of the film when Scar has Simba hanging on the edge of Pride Rock, the camera moves out and the lightning crashes, and we can see Simba is holding on to the rock up to his elbows, yet in the next scene we can see he is only holding on by his paws. If he was near the lake, he should have fallen into it when he ran forward. But when Mufasa fades away Simba runs forward and we realize Simba was nowhere near the lake, but on a grassland. He never moves all the while talking to Mufasa, which means he should be standing at the edge of the lake. Simba looks up from the lake when he hears Mufasa in the sky. Rafiki leads Simba to a lake claiming to show him Mufasa. ![]() At first there are six lionesses, then seven, then six again, then only five, then six. The same thing happens when Simba returns to Pride Rock. However, when the hyenas begin to appear, there are suddenly only eight. When Scar first begins his speech after Mufasa's death, nine adult lionesses can be made out. The pads on Scar's paws change from multiple pads to one large pad throughout the movie. Grown-up Simba's eyes switch from white to yellow during the movie. When we next see Pumbaa, Timon is back on Pumbaa's back. On the next shot we only see Pumbaa's shadow cast in front of Simba, without Timon. When Timon and Pumbaa find Simba in the desert, Timon is frightened and climbs on top of Pumbaa. None of the lionesses in the film have whiskers, though obviously in reality females do have whiskers. The number of whiskers each male lion has changes from scene to scene, and sometimes the whiskers disappear altogether. We see Simba scratch Shenzi's cheek, leaving visible cuts, but shortly after, Shenzi is healed. When she's fighting with Simba, her eyes are blue. When Nala is crouched in the grass right before she pounces at Pumbaa, her eyes are green. Neither the Swahili for baboon, nyani, nor the Swahili for dog, mbwa, appear in the song.Īfter Zazu is blown away by the hyenas he apparently alerts Mufasa that Simba and Nala are in danger and Mufasa comes to the rescue in just a few minutes but given Mufasa was in the Pride Lands it should have taken him longer to get the elephant graveyard. Rafiki's Swahili chant "Asante sana, squash banana, we we nugu mi mi apana" does not mean "You are a baboon, and I'm not." Nor does it mean "You are a dog, and I'm not," as has sometimes been suggested. And yet, Scar refers to it later as the place "beyond the northern border." As they were facing the sunrise (east) that would mean that anything on the right side would be south. When Simba and Mufasa view the sunrise, they refer to the "shadowy place" as being on their right. This is because Zazu was supposed to say "Your Majesty". Zazu bows to Simba and although his mouth is moving no words are spoken. Before assuming the throne, Simba walks down Pride Rock.
