The "Lost" Third Member of the Trio: Bakhti the Fox

Did you know that in the early, more "Bambi-esque" versions of The Lion King (back when it was called King of the Jungle), Simba and Nala had a third best friend?

Meet Bakhti, a small bat-eared fox! In the original scripts, he was designed to be the "voice of reason" for the two cubs. While Simba and Nala were busy being brave and getting into trouble, Bakhti was the one trying to keep them out of it (though he usually ended up stuck right there with them).

It’s such a shame he was eventually cut from the final film. His design is absolutely charming and captures that classic 90s Disney energy so perfectly.

What do you think? Would you have liked to see a fox in the Pride Lands, or do you think the Timon and Pumbaa dynamic worked better?

From concept to final design. Here’s a look a several different concept drawings of Jessica Rabbit. She looks so different in each version. #jessicarabbit #jessicarabbitworld #whoframedrogerrabbit #disneyconceptart #disneyanimation https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUnz50ubnP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Concept art for Who Found Roger Rabbit sold through Heritage Auctions. Sounds like this could have been for the proposed sequel. There are two concept outfits for waitresses Jessica, Roger serving coffee and the Toontown Diner exterior. #jessicarabbit #rogerrabbit #whoframedrogerrabbit #disneyconceptart #rogerrabbitsequel #jessicarabbitworld #heritageauctions https://www.instagram.com/p/CdER1WtOwCK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
