Simba is a lion character and the protagonist of Disney's most successful animated feature film, The Lion King. He is the son of Mufasa and Sarabi, nephew of Scar, mate of Nala, and father of Kiara. He has golden fur and when he grows into an adult, he has an auburn mane.
In the opening sequence of The Lion King, Simba is the newborn son of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. After being anointed he is held up by the mandrill Rafiki atop Pride Rock for all the animals in the Pride Lands to see. Elsewhere, Simba's uncle Scar is upset as Simba's birth means that Scar will never be king. When Simba is older his father Mufasa takes him to the top of Pride Rock to show Simba the kingdom. Simba takes interest in a dark, shadowy area beyond the northern border of the Pridelands but Mufasa explains that Simba must never go there because it is too dangerous there. After descending into the Pridelands Mufasa has to leave to chase away some hyenas, so Zazu leads Simba home and Simba goes to visit his uncle Scar. Scar tells Simba that the forbidden area is an Elephant Graveyard and that only the bravest lions go there. Scar deliberately arouses Simba's curiosity so that the cub will visit the Elephant Graveyard, and Simba does so, taking his friend Nala with him. Simba lies to his mother Sarabi and says that he is going to the water hole. Sarabi agrees to let Simba go, but requests that Zazu must accompany them. However, the two cubs Simba and Nala plot to lose Zazu during the song "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" and manage to do so, allowing themselves to head to the Elephant Graveyard.
