But what if I told you it was almost the end for Disney? The story was a mess, the animators were falling apart, and no one — not even Disney — believed in it. At one point, things got so bad they nearly shut it down completely. The whole story was just terrible. Scar wasn't even a lion, he was the leader of a baboon army fighting against the lions. Rafiki wasn't a wise mandrill; he was a cheetah. And Scar was going to kill Mufasa by snapping his neck on screen, then try to force Nala to be his mate. But it gets even worse. Because When she refused, Simba would fall to his death while Scar burned alive. Sounds like a great kids movie right? Oh, and Simba and Nala were originally going to be siblings. Yeah, I was just as confused when I first learned about this. But why did the story change so much? To understand this you first gotta know that The Lion King wasn't just another Disney movie, it was a desperate gamble by a company hanging by a thread. And it almost destroyed them.
