In this case, we’re examining the seven highest grossing movies in terms of gross dollar receipts over the years.

In order to lure Simba and his friend Nala to go to a forbidden place, he lures them to a place where they are attacked by hyenas, but Mufasa is able to rescue them.

Scar then plots another scheme to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, but the cub escapes alive and leaves the kingdom believing that he had been responsible for the death of his father.
