Zoologists and lion researchers, however, argue that the beloved Disney franchise has missed something even more crucial all along: scientific accuracy.

BWAhahahah. I think I'll complain about "scientific accuracy" in every Netflix production ever where young attractive women beat the shit out of 200lb. adult men.

The Lion King is fiction, not a lie.

It's a re-telling of the story of Joseph and Moses, from the Bible, with a little dollop of Shakespeare thrown in. Simba is Joseph, lied to and exiled, who makes unconventional friends and rises in their esteem, and then returns to reclaim what is rightfully his.

In a more general sense, it's the prodigal son returns trope that's heavily prevalent in western literature.

This film is a form of rape a d female-erasure. Patriarchal, disempowering and sexist.
