How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Lion King.
Quote #4
MUFASA: Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me.
This quote echoes the Circle of Life motif we discussed earlier: families grow, roles change, but events will always repeat themselves. In this case, Mufasa once received some loving wisdom from his own father and now feels the need to pass it down to his son.
Quote #5
MUFASA: Whenever you feel alone, remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And, so will I.
Mufasa explains to Simba that the kings of past generations—i.e., Simba's great-great grandfathers—are chilling up in the stars, watching over him. Mufasa is giving his son a sense of family with a downright cosmic perspective, a perspective that Simba will make use of when he seeks guidance from his father's ghost after fleeing the Pride Lands.
