Potential grammar/wording issue, plot
The sentence "The hyenas are friends of Scar, who then plot with them to take over the Pride Lands" seems weird. Who is them? It should either say "who then plots with them" or "who then plot with him" depending on whether Scar or the hyenas are doing the plotting.

The Lion King → The Lion King (1994 film) – The 2019 film is now old enough that I'm sure that most people today are familiar with both films. Georgia guy (talk) 17:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose per Hilst. —El Millo (talk) 04:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is the clear primary topic, especially in terms of long-term significance. InfiniteNexus (talk) 08:15, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose most people would search for the 1994 film not the 2019 one. This would be the clear primarytopic. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 09:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak support the 2019 film has 159,248 views compared with only 125,137[] for this one, there is also the franchise which apparently is also one of the original uses. Move The Lion King (disambiguation) here.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Still doesn't really matter. https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=The_Lion_King_%28disambiguation%29 Check and the 1994 film has 59.4 of this month's clicks. 2019 with just 0.04. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 11:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Pageviews are not the only thing that matters. WP:PT2. InfiniteNexus (talk) 07:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Crouch, Swale If you look at WikiNav, most of the clicks are from the 1994 movie. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 02:33, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The pageviews don't support a PT though, we otherwise would need to ask why the 2019 film has more views.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 08:50, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:PT2, Look at this darnnn shortcut! Pageviews are not the only things that matter GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * That release date is already in the article. The info box uses the U.S. release date which was earlier.  RudolfRed (talk) 03:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Pride Lands location
How do you know that they are in Tanzania? They could easily be in Kenya, Mozambique, southern Ethiopia or southern Africa as well. Did you even use a reference for that statement? Jtadesse (talk) 00:46, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I can look for an official statement, but the film uses Mount Kilimanjaro in the opening number, with animals trekking to Pride Rock. Also, it includes Victoria Falls, which is over 2000 kilometers away. I would urge the Tanzania mention be removed since it's never directly stated in the film.
