Last but not least, Simba and Nala are most likely related. The hyena army was pretty spooky as well - their darkest moment coming when they tore Scar to pieces. Why didn’t Simba’s mother try to find him? Good on Timon and Pumbaa for stepping up and raising him because it’s clear his own mother didn’t care to. Most of the plot probably went down this way to stay true to how lions act in nature, but it’s jarring once you see it all laid out. The entire premise of The Lion King is pretty dark. Uncle rules kingdom with an iron fist until nephew comes back and murders uncle. Uncle murders brother, sends nephew off to die. This list outlines that underlying Disney darkness that cuts a bit deeper. Then there are the obvious choices such as Maleficent, centered on “evil” characters, which are also too easy to list here. Everyone knows The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland and anything else ever involving Tim Burton were designed to be that way.
