Watch Two Cats Hilariously Recreate a Famous Scene From ‘The Lion King’
TikTok is a wonderful thing. It can be informative, silly, thought provoking, or in this video’s case, downright hilarious. Two cats are going viral (again) for accidentally recreating an iconic scene in The Lion King, and of course we had to bring it to your attention! Who doesn’t love a good laugh?
Just in case the scene in question happened to slip your mind (how could it?), let’s recap what we’re talking about here. In the movie, Mufsa is trying to rescue Simba from a stampede when he finds himself dangling from the edge of a cliff. His evil and jealous brother, Scar, comes to his rescue (NOT.) As Mufsa is holding on for dear life, Scar grabs his paws and devilishly says “long live the king!”, ultimately throwing Mufsa from the cliff and to his untimely death.
And don’t even get me started on the live-action version! It’s emotional enough seeing an animated lion die, let alone a real-looking CGI one. Thank you, Disney, for traumatizing 90s kids everywhere.
But I digress. Needless to say, this new feline rendition has a more comical outcome. Take a look and see for yourself (make sure your sound is on for the full effect!)

The video was originally shared on TikTok by @mariahgarrett back in November 2020 where it received over 3.3 million views. She recently re-shared the iconic video and added another 2.2 million views.
I think it goes without saying that we like the outcome of this version much, much better.
