My Lion King Forum

Ok so they brought up this Oh my Disney info on Zazu and after looking at the first info it doesn't make sense.

First, Prosper means to be successful right? at least that what the dictionary says.

Well when Zazu says Cheetahs Never prosper, that means they are not successful.

then they go on saying this

“Cheetahs Never Prosper”

Whaaaaat???????

I feel like they screwed up this Zazu info thing, because I really hope they did not screw up what Zazu says about the Cheetahs never prospering and Fuli is very successful

It was a pun of the phrase "cheaters never prosper".

This. That whole speech by zazu is full of animal related jokes and puns.

Yep, "The buzz from the bees "buzz" being the gossip, "that the leopards are in a bit of a spot", spot meaning a hard place or in having trouble. "Cheetahs never prosper" is a pun on the saying "Cheaters never prosper" meaning if you cheat you will not flourish or be successful.

This thread has run its course, and never promoted much real discussion. Locking this.
