NOTE! Not favorite scenes, but moments. Shortish moments. Also, tell us why, so that this wouldn't be just a plain listing.
Mine:
1.) At Mufasa's body when Scar tells Simba "Run, far away and never return." and Simba looks up at him wide eyed and horrified, turns and runs away, still looking back. But this is only in the Finnish dubbings wherein Scar's voice actor has such an intensity in his tone when he says those words. It's truly chilling and extremely intense. Jeremy irons just doesn't reach that level of intensity.
2.) Simba pulling at Mufasa's ear in the Under the Stars scene and how they then look into each others eyes, smiling - and finally when Simba lets go of his ear and moves to lie on the top of his head, Muffy's expression is so... like Simba's warpped him around his little finger or something. That moment is sooo cute and Muffy's expression shows so clealy how utterly happy he is that he has a son like Simba.
3.) Mufasa's ghost... Either the moment when they show him beginning to form into the coulds and SImba is somewhere down there looking reeeeally small. Or the moment when he's already all in colors and 3D and they show close-up of Simba's face, his eyes filled with sorrow and awe. Beautiful moment! Also the how sorry he looks when he exclaims "How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be." AGH, I love the entire scene to bits!!!! <3<3<3
4.) Baby Simba's ceremony; the moment when all the animals bow down to Simba. And his baby sneeze and the moment when Rafiki lifts him up and all the animals go cheering and celebrating the baby prince. ^__^
5.) Simba and Nala making faces at Zazu during IJCWTBK.
6.) Simba trying to catch the mole during Morning Report. It's just sooo cute and finally we get to see him actually play like the little kitty he is. Plus his mischievous expression as he prepares to leap at the mole while Muffy watches him, but then he just hits his head on a rock is even cuter.
7.) Scar throwing Mufasa off the cliff. The very moment when he's dug his claws into his paws and sllooowly gets close up to Muffy's face with an evil expression, saying "Long live the king" and the we get that awesome close-up shot of how he throws him off the cliff. I hate that Muffy died but still, that moment is awesome in some way.
8.) Distressed and horrified Simba trying not to get crushed by the gnus, all lost in the stampede and then Muffy appears with an intense look, picks him up and away just before a gnu falls down exactly where Simba was two seconds ago.
9.) Adult Simba and Nala drinking water, being all ackward and the lyrics they sing in their minds. Both english and finnish versions. English version being better.
10.) When all beasty-looking Nala leaps at stuck Pumbaa and Timon whhose expression is priceless, but then suddenly all beasty-looking Simba leaps in and he and Nala fight very beastily without regognizing each other. It's just too cool and brings well in both true friendship and wild life.
