Lion King- Cut scene 5- Zira's Suicide

Cut for obvious reasons... Suicide in a kids movie is cause for disaster. :p Even if it was Zira making an ultimate sacrifice for her late mate. Though, this explains why it looks as if she was smiling as she fell in the finished product- because she actually IS smiling! Creepy.. o.0 Taken from lionking.org

I don't own Lion King, it's sequals, etc, so don't come and drink my blood, ne?

The way she says "Never" will give me nightmares. I'm almost 20.

Ooook.... that totally scarred me for life :D

Late mate? Thought Zira was Scar's daughter, she looks a lot like him.

I'd rather have my kid watch this than Hannah Montana.

ok ok time out, disney took this out because it was to dark for the kids, ok, so in the lion king mufasa death and scar getting eaten alive by hyenas weren't dark, and in hunch back of notre dame, frollo's song hellfire, and him falling into a firey pit weren't dark, seriously disney sequels aren't as graphic violent or dark as the first one but some are good like this movie even though it can't really compete with the first one

@x1akurei I personally always interpreted it as suicide, even when I was really young. Its still suicide in the regular movie when she refuses Kiara's help, that way is still suicide just more subtle.

Now I got nightmares... Zira scared me, realy and I'm 15!

My childhood is now in tatters... so why do I enjoy the concept more than the final version? There's something rather fitting about "Zira's Suicide" over "Zira's Death".

Oh, bloody hell.... D: This version of Zira's death is absolutely chilling! :O Glad they cut the original end of this scene out--otherwise, I would have been scarred for life if I actually saw it... D-8

1. Trying to drag the person who was genuinely trying to help you down with you.

2. Laughing knowing that you're going to die.

3. Staring at the person right in the face refusing help and in the most darkest way, express that you'd rather choose death then to be helped by said person.

If this was in The Lion King 2, Zira would've been my 2nd all time fav villain. (next to Malificent) Not only that, it would've been the most epic Disney death.

Hearing Zira's voice here gives me goose bumps..
