I kinda like the real ending better, but i like the hamlet quote and scar manipulating Simba's good nature in order to throw him off pride rock. oh, and the laugh is badass too :D
I can see why they went against this ending: because it not only makes Simba antihero-ish, but also was really nightmarish in Scar's death and was not that dramatic for Scar's realization of who REALLY killed Mufasa.
Okayokay im sooo confused. Usually you would die if you landed in the middle of a fire, so did simba live? If not, who is at the end? And scar didnt really win if he died within 2 minutes e.o
@TheArtsyWolf Simba was thrown into the flames, but managed to escape. (1:17)However, Scar thought he won, and keeps laughing, but he doesn't notice that the flames were slowly burning him alive, so eventually, Scar died. At the end, you see Simba alive, and the lioness is probably Nala or his mother Sarabi.
@thegamemaster5500 because the lion king took ideas from Hamlet, in Hamlet both Hamlet (Simba) and Claudius (Scar) died at the end. But as you said, Simba's the main character, so he can't die. This ending also would've implied that Scar wasn't the result of a bad childhood, but was flatout deranged. Both endings are great but have separate meanings. As MAnnaconduit explained before, the one they chose has more of a meaning than this one.
the reason they chose the film ending was becasue it shows simba earning the right to become king and avenging mufasa, also to have the hyenas, scars own troops turn on him becasue they realized he was only manipulating them, shows an ironic death, that the villain brought on himself, that his hate and jealousy lead him to this fate, makes his death all the sweeter, this here shows Scars insanity but it would not have made the lion king what it is today.
Scar going totally insane and burning was a pretty epic/shocking scene. Though it would've been kinda' cool if they had kept it, it sucks that Simba lost in this version. He never got to avenge his father. I can see why Disney deleted it.
can't say I agree with this after all scar always said he never had brute strength and simba is clearly stronger scar just wouldn't be able to win even in the real ending scars attack was desparate he blinded simba before attacking so sorry but this ending just doesn;t make sense if you put it with the whole film it makes simbas return seem pointless
I still prefer the current ending. It's just better and even more ironic, seeing that the same hyenas who helped him become king were also his undoing. Here Scar has gone so utterly mad that he doesn't even care about himself anymore when he has (seemingly) killed Simba. Well, in the end it depends on your opinion. I just think the current version works much better.
@ThePoketeers That's not what I meant. I meant the "begging for mercy" part. Just like Gaston, when he begged the Beast for mercy, the Beast spared him but then Gaston stabbed him in the back and he fell to his own death. In the actual movie, Scar also begs for mercy, but not to that extent. Indeed there are even more parallels to Beauty and the Beast if you see the "throwing off the cliff" part as "Gaston's backstabbing" and "Simba's survival" as "the Beast's survival".
@ThePoketeers What are you talking about? I'm not talking about the lioness at the end but about Simba getting out of the pool of water he fell in or whatever stopped his fall in the first place. I can't really see well what happened when he fell.
.....I think it's more fitting that he got killed by his own followers after he abandoned them for his own (ironic) safety. :p Still, I like the idea.
Is it me or is a lot of the deleted scenes in this movie more heavily influenced by Hamlet? It's not a bad thing, just interesting how much the play really inspired the artists and producers. "Good night, sweet prince." is directly from Hamlet.
But I like it. This will always be my favorite Disney movie ^.^
@BaltosGirl Well, the movie itself is based on Hamlet, but I think I know what you mean. I would have liked this version of the fight better thanks to that line, actually, along with his dying thanks to his own insanity and not because Simba actually knocked him off the cliff.
@ialsomakecrocodiles It is...That and, whether the creators will admit it or not, Kimba the White Lion. Still, the idea for the plot came from Hamlet and WWII. The characters came from Kimba.
The final version was much better. I like how Scar reveals that he killed Mufasa in the final movie alot better than in this, because in the movie you could really see what a huge revelation this is to Simba. PLus the line "I..killed...Mufasa!" is something of an inside joke in our family. Our favorite line in the movie
"HAHAHAHHA!! YES! I DEFEATED MY OWN NEPHEW! I AM STILL THE KING AND WILL ALWAYS BE FOREVER! NOW I'LL LAUGH MANICALLY AND KILL MYSELF IN THE FLAMES AND NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"
i can see why this wasnt in the film. being made for children the movie was already a little on the adult side. but i still like this scene, very good dialog when scars hanging from the cliff. and a good twist to the real ending.
I think both this death scene and the actual movie death scene fit Scar's character. Here his insane desire to hold on to his title as king is as fervent as the fire, both of which overwhelms him, leading to his death. In the movie, his constant betrayal of his family and his allies, the hyenas, to further his plans for self-preservation (i.e. covering his tail), finally caught up with him where he is outnumbered and ultimately devoured by the scorned hyenas. I honestly think both endings work!
Interesting take on the scene. I honestly can't decide which version I like more. Scar being engulfed in flames does seem like a more dramatic death, but the Hyaenas getting revenge was sort of more fitting.
By any chance, does anyone know who voiced Simba and Scar from this storyboard?? They sound really familiar. I know their not the same voice actors... These voices sound...really hot. :3
Did Scar laugh while he was being engulfed by the fire? The only thing I like about this is the part where Scar cries: "help me" just like Mufasa did when Scar was killing him.
@TheDavul it's just the storyboard artists voicing the demo shots for demo's sake. obviously the good version would be voiced over by jeremy irons and the rest of the cast
This would have been much more creepier if they did animate it, and when scar was burning to death it slowly showed him losing his hair, then his skin, then the blood falls out too, then its nothing but bones, scar still retaining his victory pose for about three more seconds, then falls apart.
@NDLady1985 That wasn't water and that body wasn't Scar's. ^_^;
Simba fell into the fire but survived, the body he saw on the ground was either his mother's or Nala's(most likely his mother's). She lifted her head and smiled at him at the very end of the clip, indicating she isn't dead.
@20firebird Simba survives, you can see it in the video. You see him walk to his mother laying on the ground. he nudges her and she responds. Either way I am sure the plan was for Simba survive so he could take his place as king and scar die. I guess Disney didn't want scar to stand victorious. Either that or they thought this version was too gruesome . Come on, scar literally is burned to death. I like both endings,
This alternate sequence would have put a real bit on irony to the movie: The villain defeats the hero, BUT HE STILL LOSES I think its supposed to be somewhat symbolic, as it shows a tyrant who basically does whatever he wants instead of actually tending to the kingdom he just justice is doomed to failure anyway, either at the hands of an usurper or by his own hubris biting him in the ass.
I like Scar laughing as he died. He was unraveling the whole story, it fits him. I like this ending, I just think Simba needs a better way to survive. :p
I think its rather intresting. Simba survives but Scar meets his end due to his own insanity that was building throughout the movie. The only problem I have about it is Simba didn't get his revenge.
Wait a minute, didn't it say "Scar is consumed by the fire that engulfs Pride Rock"? So doesn't that mean that he was saving Simba rather than screwing him?
@ShadowFox909 O.K. that is a very good point. However I think it is more epic that Simba won back his kingdom through right of battle rather than by default.
the line "good night sweet prince" is an allusion to Hamlet, which the story of The Lion King accurately follows...it would have been amazing if they kept that line in the movie!
Glad they cut it. It wouldn't have made much sense for Scar to die engulfed by flames on a giant ROCK while Simba survives down below, after a bone crushing fall, in the burning vegetation, that is supposedly so hot and large it just engulfed Scar on a giant ROCK. Yeah...definitely a o_O moment there. The current ending fits much better and is much more realistic/believable IMHO.
hmm Weird could hardly tell what was going on. My guess simba thought of when mufasa died and Subconciously saved Scar. I like the final ending, in the movie.
I can see how this would have been scrapped I mean simba going through all this drama and self discovery to die?!? good thing they kept it a happy ending, though are you sure he dies? I mean look at the end, Good Night sweet prince should still have been there as a last minute omage to Hamlet
If they had kept that "Good Night Sweet Prince" line and still let Scar have his death by Hyena karmatic death it would have been perfect. So, now it's just nearly ;3
This death of scar would make scar more of a better villain than he is now seriously kist standing there laughing so evil Thile the fire burn him...AWSOME!!!
ok, i can barely tell what's going on. why didn't the crew just make the scenes like.....normally instead of doing it in drawing? and did simba really get defeated here and scar wins???? i couldn't tell
@mileycyrusfan197 first of all Wat looks like what happens is scar throws simba off and as he laughs hysterically he is engulfed by the flames and assumability killed, simba on the other hand either also died or maybe survived the fall as you can see him comforting sarabi right at the end, and secondly the reason its like this is its obviously an early concept and didn't make it past the storyboard stage (probably because it was so sinister) so they never actually animated this scene :)
This is...whoa. Amazing. Love the Hamlet reference; "Good night, sweet Prince". Oh, I wish that had been kept. Well, honestly, I wish the hold ending was kept; the fire sequence, Simba's hesitation, Scar noting the difference between them...although I think, as a kid, the laughing at the end would've scared me like crazy. o.o
I don't like the idea of that grand rock catching in fire at the end... even as a kid I would be stunned to see Scar dying so "clearly" and Simba been defeated. Also, the ending would have not been as powerful because the "defeat that become a victory" and the main villain dying after laughing hysterically is really kind of confusing for a child. (And freaking dark!)
This is quite an amazing ending that stays a little more loyal to Hamlet, but I'm glad they stuck with the other one. The Lion King we got was my all time favorite movie as a kid, and the thought of Simba being defeated at the end would have scared/shocked me back then. I do wish they had kept the "Goodnight, sweet prince" line, though.
@katinka0921 FYI, I wasn't being sarcastic. And if you read any drama, you would know that this is a line from Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". So dont comment unless you know what your talking about.
I wasn't trying to criticize you! ! I was only trying to ask if you knew where that line was from because I didn't! But, to point out, I say sarcasm when one thing is said with an opposite meaning, but I guess that is really verbal irony lol. Like "where have I heard that before?" even though you did know where it was from before asking. And I have read drama, but not Hamlet. Don't blame me for my lack of knowledge about the play! Blame the school system of Florida, it's terrible xD
@katinka0921 ok sorry :) I didn't mean to be so harsh. But yeah, its one of the last lines in the play Hamlet. actually, I'm reading the book in school right now :D I skipped ahead and read the whole thing. But im glad they changed this scene because millions of people have read Shakespeare and alot of ppl would have noticed this line lol XD
So not to kill the whole pride they came to another version and killed only one lion. Still I don't like the idea. Might they use the exile =(

@NDLady1985 That wasn't water and that body wasn't Scar's. ^_^;
Simba fell into the fire but survived, the body he saw on the ground was either his mother's or Nala's(most likely his mother's). She lifted her head and smiled at him at the very end of the clip, indicating she isn't dead.

@20firebird Simba survives, you can see it in the video. You see him walk to his mother laying on the ground. he nudges her and she responds. Either way I am sure the plan was for Simba survive so he could take his place as king and scar die. I guess Disney didn't want scar to stand victorious. Either that or they thought this version was too gruesome . Come on, scar literally is burned to death. I like both endings,

@kursk1111111111 i believe it is supposed to be sarabi and simba :)

This alternate sequence would have put a real bit on irony to the movie: The villain defeats the hero, BUT HE STILL LOSES I think its supposed to be somewhat symbolic, as it shows a tyrant who basically does whatever he wants instead of actually tending to the kingdom he just justice is doomed to failure anyway, either at the hands of an usurper or by his own hubris biting him in the ass.

I like Scar laughing as he died. He was unraveling the whole story, it fits him. I like this ending, I just think Simba needs a better way to survive. :p

I think its rather intresting. Simba survives but Scar meets his end due to his own insanity that was building throughout the movie. The only problem I have about it is Simba didn't get his revenge.

Wait a minute, didn't it say "Scar is consumed by the fire that engulfs Pride Rock"? So doesn't that mean that he was saving Simba rather than screwing him?

They were right not to go with this ending.

@SimbasGuardWT Though it would go more with the Hamlet theme that they were going for.
ShadowFox909 9 months ago
@ShadowFox909 O.K. that is a very good point. However I think it is more epic that Simba won back his kingdom through right of battle rather than by default.

the line "good night sweet prince" is an allusion to Hamlet, which the story of The Lion King accurately follows...it would have been amazing if they kept that line in the movie!

Glad they cut it. It wouldn't have made much sense for Scar to die engulfed by flames on a giant ROCK while Simba survives down below, after a bone crushing fall, in the burning vegetation, that is supposedly so hot and large it just engulfed Scar on a giant ROCK. Yeah...definitely a o_O moment there. The current ending fits much better and is much more realistic/believable IMHO.

hmm Weird could hardly tell what was going on. My guess simba thought of when mufasa died and Subconciously saved Scar. I like the final ending, in the movie.
LilMidna13 10 months ago
Unless you guys can do a better job of explaining what the hell went on in this video, as far as I'm concerned I'd say the main ending was better.
TrackStarAA1 10 months ago
I can see how this would have been scrapped I mean simba going through all this drama and self discovery to die?!? good thing they kept it a happy ending, though are you sure he dies? I mean look at the end, Good Night sweet prince should still have been there as a last minute omage to Hamlet
RadioactiveCassowary 10 months ago
Man, that laugh would have made me love Scar's death instead of lament him going out like a punk. Which admittedly he was but still.
WellnessMan 11 months ago
If they had kept that "Good Night Sweet Prince" line and still let Scar have his death by Hyena karmatic death it would have been perfect. So, now it's just nearly ;3

ok, i can barely tell what's going on. why didn't the crew just make the scenes like.....normally instead of doing it in drawing? and did simba really get defeated here and scar wins???? i couldn't tell
mileycyrusfan197 11 months ago
@mileycyrusfan197 first of all Wat looks like what happens is scar throws simba off and as he laughs hysterically he is engulfed by the flames and assumability killed, simba on the other hand either also died or maybe survived the fall as you can see him comforting sarabi right at the end, and secondly the reason its like this is its obviously an early concept and didn't make it past the storyboard stage (probably because it was so sinister) so they never actually animated this scene :)

Hahahahahahaha, makes the scenes like normally? Yes, drawings are so abnormal.
geekoftheweek27 10 months ago
This is...whoa. Amazing. Love the Hamlet reference; "Good night, sweet Prince". Oh, I wish that had been kept. Well, honestly, I wish the hold ending was kept; the fire sequence, Simba's hesitation, Scar noting the difference between them...although I think, as a kid, the laughing at the end would've scared me like crazy. o.o
But, still, awesome. Must add to favorites!
madogNikky 11 months ago
I don't like the idea of that grand rock catching in fire at the end... even as a kid I would be stunned to see Scar dying so "clearly" and Simba been defeated. Also, the ending would have not been as powerful because the "defeat that become a victory" and the main villain dying after laughing hysterically is really kind of confusing for a child. (And freaking dark!)
Blizzarderful 11 months ago
This is quite an amazing ending that stays a little more loyal to Hamlet, but I'm glad they stuck with the other one. The Lion King we got was my all time favorite movie as a kid, and the thought of Simba being defeated at the end would have scared/shocked me back then. I do wish they had kept the "Goodnight, sweet prince" line, though.

@katinka0921 FYI, I wasn't being sarcastic. And if you read any drama, you would know that this is a line from Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". So dont comment unless you know what your talking about.
sweetbug123 1 year ago
I wasn't trying to criticize you! ! I was only trying to ask if you knew where that line was from because I didn't! But, to point out, I say sarcasm when one thing is said with an opposite meaning, but I guess that is really verbal irony lol. Like "where have I heard that before?" even though you did know where it was from before asking. And I have read drama, but not Hamlet. Don't blame me for my lack of knowledge about the play! Blame the school system of Florida, it's terrible xD
katinka0921 1 year ago
@katinka0921 ok sorry :) I didn't mean to be so harsh. But yeah, its one of the last lines in the play Hamlet. actually, I'm reading the book in school right now :D I skipped ahead and read the whole thing. But im glad they changed this scene because millions of people have read Shakespeare and alot of ppl would have noticed this line lol XD
