Wow, I haven't written a journal in a while, never felt the need to really, but after watching the commentary for TLK again im really questioning the director's word on this subject I must point out something.

For those who aren't aware, during a Q&A about TLK, Minkoff and Allers told informed us that it generally believed Scar and Mufasa were Nala's sires. They never say "It was one of those two" hell they dont even give us THEIR opinion. They lightly discussed lion behavior and came to that conclusion after they went "Well we hoped you guys wouldn't notice". What they didn't want us to notice is unclear...

however says it was generally though she WASN'T their either of their daughters, and no one assumed such a thing" They simply didn't worry about it. He says it wasn't a plot point so it probably ISN'T true. [link]

Sure the directors word would carry more wieght than a head animator and should be regaurded as canon since canon is information from reasonably authority, but not in this case. The directors are speaking on everyone elses behalf, and Tom was one of those people.

Thats like if i said "Blue" but the president told everyone i said "Green". Hes much more important than me and more powerful than me so he MUST be right, right?

No.

Y'know the Directors also say Lions, usually, brothers rule a pride together and thats what The Lion King mimics. Wrong
They also said Scar or no other lion for that matter has opposable thumbs. Really now? So what are these:  [link] [link]

That thumb looks like its posing to me. Breakdancing even.

Notice how all three of these claims are factual when related to real lions.
Lions DONT have opposable thumbs. They don't even have thumbs, they have dewclaws.
It IS common for a pride of lions to have more than one male, and these males are usually brothers that are equals. On that note, i'd like to point out there is no such thing as a "dominant male lion". Lion and Lionesses are equal in real life in terms of Hierchary. There may be an Alpha FEMALE lioness that coordinates all the hunts but males are equals. They eat, screw, fight, and sleep. Pretty much all they do.

"Oh the directors said it!" well you know what? The Directors said all that crap too. And it was wrong. Does that mean its true?

No.

To quote The directors "Even though they're all lions, this is a very human story."
