Not a reference to anything outside of the movie, but after watching TLK for the billionth time, I just noticed this:
Simba: Hey uncle Scar, when I'm king, what will that make you?
Scar:
A monkey's uncle.Then, in the jungle ...
Timon: Hey, what's going on here? Who's the monkey?
Nala: Simba's gone back to challenge Scar!
Timon: Who?
Nala: Scar.
Pumbaa: Who's got a scar?
Nala: No, no, no. It's his uncle.
Timon:
The monkey's his uncle?And voila, the great Circle of Life, ladies and gentlemen. Who's the monkey now, Scar?
