I have seen some people online mad about scar's missing line in the new film. Do you have any idea what the line is? I haven't seen in the original in some time and it's killing me that I can't figure it out.

There are bunch of places in the new movie where dialogue has been reworked or cut out entirely, so I’m not 100% sure, either.

As far as iconic lines go, maybe they’re referring to “I’m surrounded by idiots”? That line, and the hyenas’ lion jokes preceding it, are not in the new one, though this cut makes perfect sense to me since this version A) makes Scar less sarcastic/sassy, B) frames the hyenas as less “idiotic,” more calculating, C) frames the Scar/hyena partnership as more of partnership of equals working for a common goal rather than as a leader with bunch of minions. The idiot line wouldn’t make sense in this context, imo.

That’s my best guess right now!

‘The Lion King’ Ruling Box Office With Dazzling Debut at $180 Million

Disney’s “The Lion King” has jolted the North American box office back to life with an opening weekend in the $180 million range, estimates showed Saturday. “The Lion King” will record the second-best opening of 2019 — and could replace “Incredibles 2,” which launched last year with $182.7 million, as the ninth biggest North American launch of all time.

The film is outperforming pre-release forecasts, which had been in the $150 million to $180 million range at a record 4,725 domestic locations. Disney reported that “The Lion King” delivered a massive $78.5 million opening day domestically, becoming the 10th highest opening day in industry history.

Though critics were mixed with a 56% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, moviegoers gave “The Lion King” an A CinemaScore.

I got back home from seeing THE LION KING (2019) and just wanna say I really, genuinely enjoyed it! Don’t be too scared of the negative critical reviews. I was stressed out of my mind that it would let me down, and (don’t get me wrong) I do have a small list of criticisms, but the things it did well, it really did QUITE WELL. Go see it, friends! I’m looking forward to my second viewing! :)

A few weeks ago, my brother and I won discounted tickets to The Lion King on Broadway. It was just as amazing as when we saw it 12 years ago (MY GOD WE’RE OLD) - back when it was at the New Amsterdam Theater. It will always be my favorite! :D
