Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
But how large is that, exactly?
Because technically, sunlight "touches" a great deal of space, encompassing the great African plains, the whole world (at some point in the day), and even beyond that. And I don't think Muffy meant that the entire solar system belongs to him lol
The kingdom obviously extends past the Serengeti, which was the place used as the inspiration and filming spot for TLK. In early scripts of TLK, especially the COL scene, animals are described to be migrating from very remote places such as Kilimanjaro, which is another National Park in Tanzania, and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe??).
Is Mufasa's roar really that powerful? A normal lion's roar is only supposed to extend to a radius of about five miles. So if we're assuming that all the animals that were in range and went to the presentation were all the animals in his entire kingdom, then the Pridelands would actually be only 10 miles in diameter all around, aka much smaller than Mufasa led Simba to believe. Furthermore, it only took Simba and Nala a couple of hours at most to ditch Zazu during IJCWTBK and enter enemy territory, so unless Pride Rock lies on the very fringes of Mufasa's kingdom, the Pridelands can't be very large either.
Thoughts?
