To be fair, Scar ordered Simba killed, too. It was the hyenas who failed to finish the job and lied about it.
…Actually, that reminds me: the “Be Prepared” villain song ruins the anti-monarchy lesson. Specifically, the line:
Idiots! There will be a king. I will be king!
So yeah, even watching any part of The Lion King fails at teaching that lesson. You’d have to pick a different show entirely (maybe *Kimba the White Lion, LOL).
My issue with it wasn’t screen time, it was the disturbing death scene.
It’s never too early to teach a child that the only good king is a dead one.
Better turn it off after “hakuna matata” then, I guess!
Another lesson!
Don’t let the prince escape without at least witnesses to his abdication!
