Yeesh.... how did this happen? I can see the, well I guess I can't see, how anyone would think it was Scar and Sarabi that made Kovu. First off, we are quite explicitly told that Scar isn't Kovu's father, he was adopted. Sarabi on the other hand, though we are never told precisely, would probably never join Scar for anything, especially that. I am taken with the belief that Zira is in fact Kovu's mother, there is no reason in my mind to believe that she did not in fact mother him. The main point for all the mystery and missing parents is the effect it would have to need to name all those characters. We are talking about a lion pride here, and humanized or not, it would be difficult to explain loads of males running around fathering offspring in Mufasa's land, or even in Scar's. It must then be either accepted, or if you want to go with the nature documentary style ideal, trashed and proposed that TLK is the biggest incest story ever made. I don't want to believe that, so I will take the classic Disney move of leaving out what they believe are unimportant details. Sure, I would like to know who my favorite character's father was, as i'm sure many would, but I don't want to think of the alternative. *shivers*
