My Lion King Forum

my personal opinion: Even though humans don't appear in the TLK movies, there are slight references that they actually DO excist. For example, in TLK2 at the final battle, Timon pretends pumba's tail is a shotgun or some sort of rifle, and looking at the reaction of the freaked-out outsiders, they definately know what guns are, and therefore, had possibly a few dangerous encounters with humans. And besides this, in TLK1 during the ''I can't wait to be king'' song Zazu mention's that he'll leave Africa. Therefore, he has some sense of knowledge about ''geography'' which he possibly somehow learned from humans. So I think humans dont appear in any of the TLK movies NOT because they don't excist, but mainly because they aren't very important and got nothing to do with the plot, but however humans do actually do appear in the Timon and Pumba cartoon/animation (or however it's called). I dont know if this confirms that humans excist in the TLK universe, but well both TLK movies and the Timon and pumba animation are owned by Walt Disney I guess.

So, tell me your opinions please.

I think they do exist. You can't assume that they don't just based on the fact that they don't appear in the films, humans aren't important to this story after all so why would they be included? I don't know, I like the idea of there being a little village somewhere close to the Pridelands, but not close enough to be a threat to the lions in any way.

I agree. and I still think one of the most powerfull hints is the fact how the outsider lionesses got freaked out by timon pretending pumba's tail being a gun. and who knows, maybe zira lost a hole in her ear because of a bullet.

I would NOT like the idea of having humans in the movies. Let it just be about animals, about lions, that's it.

Well, the question was not how it would've been if humans would appear in the movies. the question was if humans actually excist in the TLK universe which I think they do.

I don't think they existed. Do we have a proof they did?

Yes we do, if you look at everything I typed in this topic.

Well, you do know that TLK is a metaphor of humans after all. I never thought of the signs you posted above as a proof of the human's existence in the movie.

Well how about after Zazu's "the morning report" he says something about poachers I can't rember exactly what but it is there. or TLK2 the logs that crushed Nuka were very neat and tidy possibly by a logging company?

I agree with you I would hate humans to be in the movie.

How interesting. I never thought of these as signs of human's existence.
