Mheetu,Sarafina's son by an unknown male is never mentioned in the movie. But he does exist! So what do you think is his story? Here is my opinion:

Mheetu was born a short time before Mufasa's death. Sarafina mated with un unknown male (prehaps Ni or someone else,what do you think?) and had a son - Mheetu. He was Nala's little brother. Unfortunetly after Mufasa's death and Scar's coronation Scar killed the cub. As a king he had to get rid of all cubs who cary his brother's blood. Small Mheetu dies very very young. Sarafina's heart is broken and Nala starts to fear 'Mr Scar' (she calls him that way before her mother's death). All the other lionesses are indignant at the new king. Along with Meheetu dies Chumvi and other male lion cubs (exept Tojo,who has to leave the pride when he starts to grow mane).

So what do you think of this theory and do you have your own theories? Tell them if you do.

i think that scar didn't kill mheetu because he would have killed nala to but he didn't and since no one knows who's nala's father is and it is said that mheetu was born after nalas death and there called siblings but it would be a different father causing the to be half brother and sister so mheetu must of been born at the same time as nala and nuka or zira would of killed him because it couldnt be simba muffasa sarabi or scar because they wouldnt do that scar is to lazy and weak muffasa dies simba never meets him and sarabi is best friends with sarafina so zira ethier killed mheetu when none is looking or she sent nuka to kill him etheir way he died as a cub and he was Nala's younger brother. oh or he ran away because he was told too by sarafina. Sarafina does not Die she is seen in tlk2 simbas pride before kiaras 1st hunt!!!!

Actually, I think I'm one of the only ones who believes that Mheetu never really exhisted. The animators cut his character out of the movie completely because he didn't fit in the plotline. He wasn't metioned in any of the books, comics, or movies, unlike Kopa who had a small part in TLK6NA.

mheetu didnt die at all he left and he ended up in a diffrent pride beeing taken cared of by a lioness from that pride

I have seen ALOT of fanart with Mheetu in his teen years. He even made his own pride.

I think Mheetu was a 'toddler' when Mufasa died but did'nt die as Scar figured he would be, ah, a tad unpopular with the lionesses if he killed off their kids. He was evenually exiled when he began to grow a mane.

Sarafina was shown on lionking 2 simbas pride on kiaras hunt she was not the one who said "My how youve grown!" due to red eyes

Well i think that scar did kill mheetu but i think its was because he would have become king if scar got 2 old so scar killed him so he could become king till he died. and wat r u on about? Sarafina was shown on lionking 2 simbas pride on kiaras hunt she was the one who said "My how youve grown!". Poor Mheetu

scar didnt kill mheetu zira did beacause a tale says zira let mheetu help care for her cubs wth her but when mheetu grew up to be a teenanger she thougth he could be a frate to scar so she killed him .But thers another story that says when zira was trying to kill nalas cub kopa mheetu as a teenanger apeared but he was a ghost and this ghost saved saved him and brought him back to nala watch it on youtube ut zira never killed kopa he ran away cos he was injured

I think Mheetu was born after Mufasa's death and his father was unknown. I believe that Scar made a deal with Sarafina: Mheetu could live, if Nala married Scar as an adult. And because Nala didn't want to marry Scar, young Mheetu had to escape. And I don't think Sarafina died, because she was there at the end of TLK. But I didn't see her in Simba's pride...

i dont think mheetu was mufasa's cub, but scar still wanted to kill him because mheetu was a threat to him (might challenge scar when he grew up)

Flurrin	November 07, 2008

Sarafina was never killed. You can see her in TLK2 just before Kiara goes out on her first hunt. I don't really think Scar would kill a cub. That doesn't even sound like something ZIRA would do, it's just too evil, especially for kid's movie characters. I also think Nala and Mheetu were born at the same time. Why not, I mean, it's pretty common for real lions to have more than one cub at a time. Good article, though. Top marks. Very creative theory.

scar didnt kill mheetu because he would be a killer and they would get mad at him and exile him.nala brother die young because of illness or something and her father left somewhere else when she was young but sarafina didnt die.

Shetani- vitani	June 27, 2008

I think that Scar killed Mheetu and Serafina too but I don't know why?! And if Nala was his daughter and, I think that she did,it mean that Mheetu was Scar's son. That's what I'm sour but why Scar than killed Mheetu?!

Sarabixs car	February 24, 2008

mheetu isn't canon! he was in the original script of the film but he was cut b4 the film came out get over it! & as for sarafina dying she was alive & fighting in the battle & in TLK 2 she is seen saying "my how you've grown" to kiarra b4 her 1st hunt & if scar didn't kill nala why would he want to kill Mheetu?

Can you please tell me where you took this crazy information? This is a product of youre imagination? I don't think this is true... Where you found this?

Sarafina didin't die and the only thing i know about Mheetu is that he died and was Nala's brother

Cobalti�	November 13, 2007
	no u

Uhm... Mheetu doesn't exist. He was dropped from TLK. Unless you count dropped characters as canon

RenamonW olf1	November 12, 2007

Yeah Serafina dosen't die at all... Mheetu+ Scar = Mheetu dead sonds right to me... Wait a second! But what if Mheetu wasn't Mufasa's cub? What if Scar killed him by accident? Mheetu could have looked like one of Mufasa's cub or something...

I didn't know Sarafina had a son..Sarafina didn't die, because she appears at Simba's pride..
