I chose to write about deleted characters and scenes from The Lion King, because I find it quite interesting.

I'll start with the first movie.

-Sarabi was going to have three sisters named Diku, Dwala, and Naanda. Naanda was going to be Nala's mother instead of Sarafina.

-Nala was originally named Nadra.

-Mufasa's pride was originally called the Ndona Pride.

-Simba was going to have to have a female aardvark friend named Daabi, who would have a crush on Simba, although she's an aardvark and he's a lion.

-Timon was going to have a mate named Tesma. She was then changed to be a childhood friend of Simba and Nala, but was eventually deleted.

-Pumbaa was going to be named Harold.

-There was going to be a baboon named Kwashi, but he was replaced by Rafiki.

-There was going to be a rhino named Herr Rhino, who would save Simba and help him defeat Scar.

-There were going to be other prides, such as the Mbala Pride and the Sametu Pride.

-Scar was going to be a rogue instead of Mufasa's brother.

-Instead of "Hakuna Matata", Timon and Pumbaa were going to sing "Warthog Rhapsody".

-There was going to be a female bat-eared fox named Bhati, who would be a friend of Simba and Nala.

-Nala was going to have a younger brother named Mheetu.

-There were going to be two hyenas named Banagi (Or Banagai) and Baasho.

-There was going to be a lizard named Iggy. Iggy's gender is unknown. He\she was going to be a childhood friend of Simba and Nala.

-The Lion King was first called "King of the Kalahari". In King of the Kalahari, Simba was named Rego, and his parents were named Sheena and Brond. Sheena would have a younger sister named Weena, and there would be a lion and a lioness named Mruki and Lisaba. In this version, Rafiki was a cheetah. The movie would be about a fight between lions and baboons. The baboons' leader would be Scar, who was also a baboon in this version.

I'm not going to write about deleted scenes, characters, etc, from the second movie, because someone on TLKS already wrote an article about that.

So, I'm skipping to the third movie.

-At the beginning of "Digga Tunnah", the meerkats were going to sing about a meerkat named Fearless Buzz, who believed meerkats shouldn't be afraid of hyenas, but after fighting some, he was eaten by them.

-Timon was going to have a father, but he was replaced by Uncle Max and Ma.

-At the beginning of the movie, Timon and the other meerkats would come to Simba's presentation.

-Instead of watching the movie in the theater, Timon and Pumbaa were going to be in Rafiki's tree and tell the story. In another version, Rafiki would tell the story.

I know it's short, but I didn't want to write about things other members have already wrote about. I hope it's still alright. I know there are already three TLKS Site Boosters, but I'm not sure if -Legolas10- is even still active, and I wish there was more activity on that source.
