During the first few minutes of the film — following the iconic "Circle of Life" scene — Mufasa spends some time showing Simba, the heir to Pride Rock, the beauty of the Pride Lands and why they're so important. "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance," Mufasa tells Simba. "As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope." Even as an adult, hearing James Earl Jones explain the delicate balance of the universe and life to his cub feels like one of the most profound moments of the whole film, which is why this scene definitely deserves to be included in the reboot.
