Mheetu?

[Simba]

it can't be Mheetu. lionesses don't have another litter of cubs until their previous litter enters adolescence (except in cases where their cubs are killed, like when another male takes over). and Mheetu was meant to be in the movie during Simba and Nala's adolescence.

another thing, it's clearly a female cub. Disney put whiskers on male felines. most believe its Nala with a coloring error on her toes and eyelids (they're too dark for Nala). but I just think its a random female cub.

that whiskers thing sure is true, and that sleeping cub looks bigger than Simba (and Nala) so it can't ever be the younger brother of Nala.

Well, in the new morning report thy added whiskers on Mufasa and Simba only when they showed their close up shots. And that cub was pretty far away from the 'camera', wasn't it?

no, they have whiskers in the original shots. in the newer shots of Morning Report they forget to add in the whiskers with the new sequence I guess after 10 years they forgot about that.

and actually that cub is probably the second closest character to the "camera" there. her features are quite clear.

lol you've got a point here, now adding whiskers to Zazu in a new TLK edition doesn't surprise me at all.

It could also be another cub, even through I don't remember a cub from the comics with that colours. It's either Nala, or a random cub then. =0 We have a mystery to solve! lol

Actually I checked it out. They did forget to add whiskers to Simba and Mufasa in some cut scenes. But yes, in the new Morning Report they just flat out forgot for the entire scene.

has anyone seen the cub in the far left corner? that might be Mheetu!!!

[Zeke]

I think its Nala because 1. Disney seems to be infamous for being a little lazy in their animation (not that drawing out every scene on paper is lazy) 2. She has no whiskers and 3. Because they didnt introduce another cub in the story. The storyboard artists probably wanted to show that the pride slept together so they would have to put Nala in there somewhere as a familiar face instead of just putting a random cub in.

The one at the foreground of the screencap, nestled by the lioness? I doubt it's Mheetu. I think it's Nala. They always get the toes of the lionesses wrong.
