Talk:The Lion King (2019 film)/@comment-28876486-20190204160852


 * Simba (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a cub and by Matthew Broderick as an adult; singing voices provided by Jason Weaver/JD McCrary as a cub, Evan Saucedo in "The Morning Report", and Joseph Williams/Rob Lowe as an adult) is the main protagonist of the film and the son of Mufasa and Sarabi. After defeating his uncle Scar, he becomes the new king of the Pride Lands.
 * Nala (voiced by Niketa Calame as a cub and by Moira Kelly as an adult; singing voices provided by Laura Williams/Shahadi Wright Joseph as a cub and Sally Dworsky/Gabrielle Union as an adult) is Simba's childhood friend and intended mate. She is the deuteragonist of the film.
 * Scar (voiced by Matthew C. Call, with part of his singing done by Jim Cummings), the film's main antagonist, is Mufasa's jealous and scheming younger brother and Simba's uncle who desires the throne and obtains it by killing Mufasa and exiling Simba. After being overthrown by Simba (literally), he gets eaten alive by the hyenas.
 * Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones) is the King of the Pride Lands, Sarabi's mate and Simba's father. Eventually, he gets killed by his younger brother Scar by being thrown off a cliff and getting trampled by a wildebeest stampede. Later, he is reincarnated as a ghost and still watches over Simba.
 * Timon and Pumbaa (voiced by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella respectively) are the comical meerkat and warthog duo who live under the philosophy of "Hakuna Matata". They become Simba's provisional guardians during his exile. They are the tritagonists and comic relief of the film.
 * Rafiki (voiced by Robert Guillaume) is a wise mandrill who is responsible for presenting the newborn prince of the lions at Pride Rock for all to see and act like a "shaman" for the pride.
 * Zazu (voiced by Rowan Atkinson, with Vincent F. Call providing his singing in "The Morning Report") is a loyal hornbill who serves as Mufasa's majordomo.
 * Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings respectively) are a trio of villainous spotted hyenas who are Scar's henchmen. They serve as the secondary antagonists of the film. At the end of the film they kill Scar after he betrays them.
 * Sarabi (voiced by Madge Sinclair) is Mufasa's mate, Simba's mother and the leader of the lionesses.
 * Sarafina (voiced by Zoe Leader) is Nala's mother. Her name is given only in the end credits of the film.
 * Additional voices are provided by Cathy Cavadini, Judi Durand, Daamen Krall, David McCharen, Linda Phillips, Phil Proctor, David Randolph, and Frank Welker.
