The story of The Lion King The First Part Simba's childhood——adventure

The film opens with a gathering of countless animals around Pride Rock in Africa, where Rafiki the mandrill presents the newborn lion cub, Simba, of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. The only resident of the Pride Lands who is not happy in the least about this is Scar, Mufasa‘s younger brother, who desires the throne for himself. Simba grows quickly and is taught everything about the Pride Lands, including the neighbouring Outlands, ruled by the ruthless hyenas and forbidden for residents of the Pride Lands. When Scar “accidentally” lets slip that the Outlands consist of an Elephant Graveyard, Simba and his best friend, Nala, outsmart Mufasa’s majordomo, Zazu, venture out into the Outlands and stumble across three hyenas （土狼）, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, who promptly try to kill them in the ensuing chase （追逐）. Mufasa arrives to rescue the cubs in time, having been alerted by Zazu, and teaches Simba an emotional lesson in bravery and valour （勇猛）.

Meanwhile, Scar plots with the hyenas( 土狼） to kill both Mufasa and Simba to take over the Pride Lands. On Scar‘s orders, the hyenas ignite （引发） a stampede （ 惊逃） of wildebeest in a gorge （峡谷） where Simba is, because Scar told him to stay there. Scar rushes to inform Mufasa, who manages to save Simba but is betrayed and thrown off the cliff by Scar. Simba finds his father’s lifeless corpse in the middle of the gorge. Scar arrives and tricks Simba into thinking it was he who was responsible for Mufasa‘s death. Due to the shame of such an act, he encourages Simba to leave the Pride Lands and never return. Simba immediately turns and runs away, while almost immediately Scar orders the hyenas to follow and kill Simba. A chase （追捕） follows but Simba manages to escape. In Simba's absence, and being led to believe the Hyenas succeeded in killing Simba, Scar uses the opportunity to state that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and profess himself as king. He takes over the Pride Lands and also allows the hyenas entry to the pride.
