So, this thingy has been going thru my mind for a long time

I was thinking, in the first movie we see that the place of the stampede is really close to pride rock, like we see in the screencaps




then, we see that simba had to go through a desert to get to the jungle (we can see that when he leaves pride rock to the jungle and also when he returns to the pridelands)

however, in TLK3 we can see in the stampede scene that the jungle is NEAR the stampede place
after timon and pumbaa leave the falls, they are in front of the jungle




so, i was thinking,
JUNGLE is near STAMPEDE PLACE is near PRIDELANDS

¿what desert did simba had to cross to return to the pridelands?

Well, uh..um....hmm....I don't know, honestly. XD

Well...considering how many other things they messed up in TLK3 (No offence to anyone who likes it),I reckon it's all a mistake,but I could be wrong.

Haha! Taki calls 'em out! >=D

Seriously though, that's a major logic error... it's a shame they really put no effort into having any sort of legitimacy in TLK3. Continuity errors, logic errors like this, and everything else, it seems like it was hastily jumbled together at the last minute. Don't get me wrong, it's a goofy and enjoyable film, but I would tend to argue that it was a bit sloppily done when examined closely, neh?

I think Simba didn't reach the jungle sooner because he was wandering, not because there was a lot of distance lol

now thats another option
i hadn´t thought about it

Why would he wander on his way back? *recalls epic purposeful striding though the desert back to the pridelands*

Oh crap. You're right lol......

...maybe that was the only way he remembered to go back?

i hadnt thought about that neither XD

One other thing to consider, I don't think that Mufasa was on pride rock when Scar found him. I think he was walking around the pridelands being all kingly, and just happened to be on a rock formation. If it was priderock that they were on, the lionesses wouldv'e come with him. Just a thought....
