It certainly says something about humans that we equate "king" with "impressive predator who eats everybody under him." No wonder we're so darn bad
Yeah, the Fisher King/Divine Right business is unsettling all on its own, but the hyenas had the misfortune to be tangled in with Scar--you just KNOW that even if the lions don't figure they brought the drought, they're in the same category of Plague--either they're the plague, or they brought one.
I do love the music--my sister and I sing the two parts, too! ("No king, no king, lalalalalala!") I love most Disney music regardless of what I think of the movie--I honestly love the hell out of the Hunchback of Notre Dame's music (especially "Hellfire," because it's SO DAMN FUCKED UP for a Disney movie holy SHIT) and hated the movie, and Pocahontas was pretty dumb but I get a kick out of David Ogden Stiers's little duet with himself in "Mine, Mine, Mine."
