Despite this, he was not over-protective of his son Kion as he was with Kiara, in spite of his son's initial immaturity. He also looked back at his childhood with some sense of shame, as evidenced by his conversation with Nala early in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, in which he claimed that Kiara's adventurous and curious spirit worried him, as she mirrored his own as a cub, referring to the perils he endured during childhood. From the trauma of his father's tragic death, Simba also became fearful and overprotective, specifically with his daughter, Kiara, as he feared the dangers that lurked in the Pride Lands, be they outright such as the hyenas were or hidden within the shadows, such as the true nature of Scar. Now as a full-grown adult and King of the Pride Lands, with a loving family, including a daughter and a son, Simba is no longer overly adventurous and outgoing, instead becoming humble and rather soft-spoken, even in the face of his family and closest friends. As seen during " Hakuna Matata", and his time as a teenager seen in The Lion King 1½, Simba retained some of his childlike nature when simply in the presence of his friends, and away from the pressures of his past, being laid-back and fun-loving if given the chance. In spite of this, Simba was also willing to partake in more easy-going hobbies, such as loafing around with Timon and Pumbaa. It also wasn't until Simba learned the truth of his father's demise, he was more confident and self-assured. It wasn't until he met and obtained guidance from the wise mandrill, Rafiki, (as well as encountering his father's spirit) that Simba would learn that the past is important, and should be looked to as a means to admit his mistakes, but never as a reason to prevent one's self from moving on in life. Because he believed his father's demise was ultimately his fault, Simba felt unworthy of ruling the throne, hinting at signs of insecurity and low self-esteem, in addition to becoming hesitant to ever face his past. Nevertheless, Simba was able to learn from his mistakes in the end, as his negative actions were primarily driven out of admiration for his father.Īs a young adult, Simba's personality takes a shift, becoming melodramatic and paranoid – a direct result of witnessing Mufasa's death. This would fall perfectly in line with the schemes of Scar, who plotted to kill Simba to increase his chances of becoming the ruler of the Pride Lands. This inflated his ego, making him brash and cocky towards characters such as Zazu and Scar, and additionally led to troublesome situations, as his viewpoint on Mufasa led him to believe being a king meant being fearless and looking for unnecessary danger, just to prove how mighty one could be. He highly admired his father, Mufasa, and wished to someday become a ruler as mighty as he, spending much of his time either learning the ways of a king or simply envisioning what life would be like with such power and self-esteem. As a young adult, Simba resembles his father Mufasa to differentiate his traditional animation counterpart who had a fringe on his russet mane, he has white marks on each side of the bridge of his nose.Īs a cub, Simba was quite adventurous, inquisitive, and impressionable. In the remake version, young Simba has brown eyes and his fur is tan and gold which resemble real-life male lion cubs. In Simba's Pride, now a full-grown adult, the colors of his pelt and mane are somewhat duller and he has a more aged look and a heavier build. His eyes are smaller in relation to his head and are more oval-shaped. His russet mane is now fully grown and covers the entirety of his neck and much of his back and his ears are barely seen. He also has some noticeable darker colorations on his body, such as a brownish point above his nose.Īs a young adult, Simba is much larger and his body is muscular. He has a mop of reddish-orange hair growing on the top of his head and partially down his neck this is the early stage of his mane growing in. He has somewhat stocky proportions.Īs an adolescent, Simba retains much of the appearance he had as a cub but is more slender. Young Simba boasts a small tuft of hair on top of his head and a short bushy tail. Additionally, he has a light pink nose and four black whiskers on either side of his muzzle, and the insides of his ears are tawny and rimmed with black. He has large, bright eyes with red irises and yellow scleras his upper lids are a deep tawny. As a cub, Simba has "brownish-gold" fur, with a lighter cream color accenting his belly, muzzle, and paws. He had light spots on his head and body as newborn lions usually have. Newborn Simba was very small with a large head.
