Simba in The Lion King

In the opening sequence of The Lion King, Simba is the new-born son of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. He is held up by the wise mandrill Rafiki atop Pride Rock for all the animals in the Pride Lands to see.

Simba grows up into a lively and rambunctious young cub who believes that being a king is all about doing what you want all day, and going wherever you please. Taking advantage of the cub's naive nature, Simba's evil uncle Scar tells him about the elephant graveyard. Although he tells him not to go there, he knows for sure that the curious young cub will go there out of curiosity. Simba does so and takes his best friend Nala along. When they reach the graveyard, they are chased by three hyenas Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, who are actually Scar's minions. Mufasa comes to the rescue of the two cubs.

Mufasa is upset with Simba, but resolves to not scold his son, and instead teach him about the great kings of the past up in the stars, who guide and watch over the young prince.

Later, Scar tricks Simba into waiting in a gorge. There, Scar commands Shenzi, Banzai and Ed to start a wildebeest stampede into the gorge where Simba is. Mufasa saves Simba from the stampede, but cannot save himself from Scar. Scar grabs the king's paws and throws him into the stampede. Simba is tricked by Scar into thinking that he was responsible for his own father's death, and that he should run away. Emotionally shattered, Simba does so, but Scar sends his hyenas after Simba in an attempt to kill him. However, Simba escapes, and wanders off into the desert.

Simba finally collapses from heat exhaustion. Vultures gather around Simba, but they are scared off by Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. Timon and Pumbaa rescue Simba and take him to their jungle home.

Simba grows into an adult lion whilst in the jungle. He lives the Hakuna Matata ("No worries, no problems!") lifestyle until his childhood friend Nala appears, now a fierce young lioness. Nala tries to convince Simba to return to the Pride Lands as he is the rightful King. Simba, still deeply guilt ridden by his father's death, refuses and runs off into the grasslands to end their fight, leaving Nala very angry.

While by himself, Rafiki appears and tells Simba to follow him, as he knows where the apparently alive Mufasa is. Rafiki tells Simba to look at his reflection in a pool, but instead of Simba seeing his own face, he sees his father's. Mufasa's ghost then appears in the clouds and tells his son that he must go home and take his rightful place as king. Simba realises what he must do, and runs home.

Once back at the Pride Lands, Simba confronts his uncle Scar. Scar tells the rest of the pride that Simba was responsible for Mufasa's death, and tries to kill Simba. However, as Simba clings to the rock, Scar tells him the truth, and an enraged Simba leaps up and pins Scar to the ground. A fight ensues as a fiery inferno, caused by lightning striking a dead tree, rages in the background. Nala rallies the other lionesses, including her mother and the erstwhile Queen, and the lionesses attack the hyenas. Simba wins as Scar is killed by the hyenas he betrayed. Simba then takes his rightful place atop Pride Rock and roars out across his kingdom.

Simba now has a daughter, Kiara, who is stubborn and doesn't always obey her father. Simba lets his daughter out to play, but asks Timon and Pumbaa to watch her. Timon and Pumbaa get into an argument about bugs and Kiara slips away. Kiara ends up meeting Kovu, an Outlander lion whose pride was exiled by Simba as they still followed Scar. The two play tag, until Simba leaps in to confront Zira, Scar's former mate, who was watching the two cubs play. Zira is still loyal to Scar, and Kovu is the lion chosen by Scar to ascend the throne.

Back at Pride Rock, Simba talks with Kiara. Kiara doesn't want to be queen as it's "no fun", and Simba tells Kiara that she no choice, and that she must do her duty. Kiara seemingly softens her stance.

When Kiara is grown she heads out into the Pride Lands for her first hunt. Simba is naturally worried, and sends Timon and Pumbaa out to watch her again, against Nala's advice. This time Kiara is outraged by what she sees as her father's interference, and runs off to do her own hunting by herself away from the Pride Lands. Zira then sends her daughter Vitani and her son Nuka to start a fire surrounding Kiara. Kiara tries to run from the rapidly spreading flames, but ends up collapsing. Kovu rescues Kiara and asks for entry to the pride. Simba allows Kovu to join the pride, but is suspicious. He later even has a nightmare of him trying to save his father Mufasa from death, but is killed by Kovu before he can. In fact, Zira has secretly trained Kovu to infiltrate Simba's pride and kill Simba.
