Okay, serious question here.
A lot of us were little kids when we saw this dumb little movie. We all remember the chill we got when Uncle Scar lied to Simba about how his dad died. Looking back at it now and rewatching that scene again as an adult, I get chills and the back of my head and the bells are going off "CHILD ABUSE!"
Back then, abuse was physical. The idea of psychological abuse did not really exist IIRC. It was bad enough that Simba's own relative LIED about the true circumstances of Mufasa's death but to blame him and make him actually believe it is so messed up. I think this is another reason why the Lion King is still popular and why Uncle Scar is so f*****d up.
Did anyone else get this feeling back in 1994 or is this interpretation a result of twenty first century conditioning on how we treat kids? If this is a sensitive issue, I apologize.
