  • Makuta schmoopatta or whatever the heck you're supposed to say when you mention this film. I've never seen it. This was right around the time I became jaded on the whole Disney-Machine (visit the corporate headquarters then read George Orwell's 1984... you'll get what I mean... 'nuff said). Anywho, just when I need a hand with this fellow, along comes Loneheart!!! Scar was the brother of Mufasa. Mufasa was the Pride leader (King) of the Pride lands. Scar would have been king, but was weaker than his brother and lions rule by strength. When Simba is born, it seems all hope for Scar to become king is lost. But Scar is smarter than Mufasa and plots to kill his brother and nephew (Simba, the hero) with the aid of hyenas and a stampede of buffalo. Mufasa dies and Simba is chased into the desert

  • Makuta schmoopatta or whatever the heck you're supposed to say when you mention this film. I've never seen it. This was right around the time I became jaded on the whole Disney-Machine (visit the corporate headquarters then read George Orwell's 1984... you'll get what I mean... 'nuff said). Anywho, just when I need a hand with this fellow, along comes Loneheart!!! Scar was the brother of Mufasa. Mufasa was the Pride leader (King) of the Pride lands. Scar would have been king, but was weaker than his brother and lions rule by strength. When Simba is born, it seems all hope for Scar to become king is lost. But Scar is smarter than Mufasa and plots to kill his brother and nephew (Simba, the hero) with the aid of hyenas and a stampede of buffalo. Mufasa dies and Simba is chased into the desert by the hyenas. Scar becomes king and invites the hyenas into the pride lands. Eventually Simba returns and there is a huge battle between the lions, Simba and his friends and Scar and the hyenas. Scar loses the battle and is devoured by the hyenas after trying to put the blame for everything on them. Voiced by Jeremy Irons, Scar is one of the old school Disney villains with the best in modern sophistication and dry, witty dialogue. He has a great song and a grisly off-camera death scene. And unlike many villains he starts off with nothing and gets everything he wants- before he gets everything he deserves. Thanks again, Loneheart!

I have always liked this cool cat voiced by Jeremy Irons since The Lion King was released. His thirst for sheer power makes him risk anything to kill his brother Mufasa and his son, Simba, in order to be the lion king. That's just pure evil. Who would kill his own sibling just for the sake of a throne? He's simply cold-hearted, and that's what I like about him. What's more, he sings very well too!" - Chris Tsui "Scar is terrible. And I mean that in a good way. He is another awesome Disney Villain. He just wants to be famous and have power! He kills his own brother, and even tries to kill his nephew. The Mufasa death scene was one of the saddeset moments in a Disney movie. I remember when I saw it in theatres I cried so hard. Yeah I was 6, but still it was sad! Only somebody truly evil can do something that terrible, and that person is the coolest Disney villian ever, SCAR!!!" - Adam Linder "Brought to life by Jeremy Irons' smooth and miserable voice, Scar becomes a spiteful, moronic and camp character, helping to make the villain's song "Be Prepared" the best in the show." - Wonderlicious MickeyMousePal on Scar: "Long lived the King" This Disney film is a mixture of Kimba, the White Lion and Hamlet. Scar kills his own brother for power then also almost killed his nephew Simaba. Scar was a horrible king making Pride land dried and ugly. Be prepared for your death Scar. Scar was such a big liar to everyone he knew his price was paid. Also one of the scariest Disney scene for children when Scar killed Mufasa. Brother of the king, and uncle to the prince, Scar has no power but plenty of pride. Consumed by a desire to be important and royal, Scar has no restraint over his bitterness, which runs wild in his plans to kill his brother, blame his nephew, and lay his claim to Pride Rock's throne. Jeremy Irons' vocals have both the polish and bite that makes Scar cool yet cruel. For better or worse, Scar hasn't really shown up in the two direct-to-video follow-ups, which are at the top of the crop, but are still a little bit silly for such a grand cinematic villain. |} |}
