Zazu lion king5/25/2023 Zazu pleads Timon to let him out of the ribcage he is imprisoned in, but Timon goes inside the ribcage instead as he is pursued by the hyenas. The lionesses, Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki battle the hyenas while Simba battles his uncle. Later on, Simba returns to reclaim his throne. When the hyenas come in to complain about the lack of food and water, Scar casually tells them to eat Zazu (although Scar also likely suggested to the Hyenas that they eat Zazu specifically as revenge for Zazu earlier mentioning Scar's brother in a favorable light compared to Scar under his breath), and he frantically insists that he'd be "so tough and gamey and eyugh!" although the Hyenas ultimately decide not to eat him, unknowingly agreeing with Zazu about Mufasa being better. In this scene, Zazu is imprisoned and is being forced to entertain Scar by singing songs like "Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen" and "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" (but not before briefly singing the lyrics of "It's a Small World"). Zazu also briefly appears years later, in a scene after Scar has assumed the kingship of the Pride Lands. He and the pride are then seen watching in horror as Scar allows the hyenas into the Pride Lands. After Simba runs away, Zazu is seen comforting Sarabi when Scar informs the pride that both Mufasa and Simba have been killed in the stampede. As he watches the stampede, he wants to go back for help but is struck by Scar into a wall and rendered unconscious. Zazu is then ordered to take Nala home while Mufasa has a word with Simba.ĭuring the wildebeest stampede engineered by Scar and his minions to kill both his brother and nephew, it is Zazu who leads Mufasa to Simba. He manages to find Mufasa and lead him to the cubs, just in time to save them from the hyenas, although it is also implied shortly after the hyenas flee that Mufasa, in addition to being upset with Simba for deliberately disobeying him by going to the Elephant Graveyard, is also upset at Zazu for failing to keep watch on the cubs. Zazu is inserted into the hyenas' "birdie boiler" geyser which rockets him up to the sky. Zazu later catches up with them, but they encounter the three hyenas Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. In fact, Simba has earlier been lured by Scar to go to the Elephant Graveyard, and after the song "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", Simba and Nala successfully lose Zazu and go to the graveyard. He is ordered to watch over Simba and Nalaby Sarabi when Simba claims he wants to go to the waterhole with Nala. When Simba has grown into a cub, Zazu is often ridiculed by him, being the target in Simba's pouncing lessons. When Scar leaves, Zazu humorously suggests to Mufasa that Scar would make an excellent rug. He later confronts Scar on his absence from the ceremony and is almost eaten by him until Mufasa arrives. He is first seen in the film during the opening sequence in which Simba is presented. As King Mufasa's majordomo and close friend (he is one of the few who calls Mufasa by his name), he is very serious and always sticks to the rules.
