How Important is Zazu to the Story Line

Elephant Graveyard
Well at first when Zazu came along with Simba & Nala to the Waterhole,but when they ditched the Hornbill and wandered off to the elephant graveyard.They got trapped by Shenzi,Banzai and Ed which where going to kill them,if it wasn't for Zazu Nala And Simba would be dead.

The Stampede
If Zazu was not near Muffi he could not find simba leading that simba would die.

plus he's loveable =3 Which is enough for me ^.^

Zazu may seem to be a secondary character, but he has a lovable personality and an important role. He even merits a return in TLK: SP!

yes but hate his voice in LK2 but the original voice actor quit

Zazu annoys me, but TLK just wouldn't be the same without him :3

He's more important than Nala LOL.

hes not vital but he adds a little bit of humour and he has that personality that you can't help but like

I didn't mind him much. But I guess he was important to the story.

I don't know how much Zazu is important, but I don't think he is an useless character either

Any excuse to have Rowan Atkinson in your movie.
Short awnser: not very. Long awnser: nooooooooooootttt verrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyy

All he did as a character was, do what people told him to and get pushed about by everyone, poor bird even got put in the birdy boiler... How's that for importance? I think that when you have a character who, if you took out of the film, really wouldn't have changed much at all, equals an unimportant character... Gota love him though :P
