While on youtube I discovered these scenes that never made it past storyboard.
These are my favorites.
An alternate ending in which Scar defeated Simba but his victory was short lived.

Though it may not have been appreciated by it's target audience hence most of us at the time of release, now as an adult I find something rather darkly poetic about Scar going out that way. This would have been far better in my opinion.
An alternate version of the 'Be Prepared' number where Scar tried to court Nala to be his queen.
WARNING: Due to containing a Hunchback Of Notre Dame 'Hellfire' atmosphere this scene may be disturbing to younger fans.

This is an alternate version of Simba making the decision to return to the pridelands. In this version Nala seems to have come to embrace his 'Hakuna Matata' lifestyle and has had second thoughts about his facing Scar afraid she could lose him again.

An extended montage from 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight.' The song is not included, there is no audio and the alternate footage begins around 1:10.

This one is not so great and it can be agreeable why it was removed.
'To Be King', a short Mufasa song number during the scene where he's showing Simba the kingdom:

Small Mufasa joke as he parts ways with Scar after giving him hell for not attending Simba's ceremony.

This one is from the second film, but it's interesting and intense.

Though the alternate death scenes were removed understandably for being disturbing and possibly a negative influence I would have liked to have seen that introduction to the outlanders kept, it provides more insight on the characters.
Nuka's final line 'I finally got your attention' could be seen as encouraging teenagers who feel ignored by their parents to commit suicide and in the early 90's possibly still, television/films were the most common inspiration of high school suicides. It's because of this statistic that a favorite series of mine had to slightly alter the setting of one of it's episodes.
With or without that line however his death would have been slightly more powerful with that introduction.
