Scar is jealous of Simba's position as the next king of the Pride Lands, so he plots to kill his brother and nephew, in order to seize the throne. [129] E!
[47] Ejiofor said that "especially with Scar, whether it's a vocal quality that allows for a certain confidence or a certain aggression, to always know that at the end of it you’re playing somebody who has the capacity to turn everything on its head in a split second with outrageous acts of violence - that can completely change the temperature of a scene". Most prominently, he is the antagonist in A Tale of Two Brothers. [56] However, Deja soon relented upon learning that Scar would be voiced by Irons, feeling that it would be "fun" to animate a character voiced by such a prestigious actor. Scar then sinks his claws into Simba's paws and admits that he killed Mufasa, and prepares to kill Simba the same way he killed Mufasa before the rightful heir can tell anyone. And although it's honestly a little cringe-worthy to watch Scar mince his way through 'Be Prepared,' he proves himself an adept orator, inspiring legions of goose-stepping hyenas to throw off the shackles of the oppressive lions. "[88] Janet Maslin of The New York Times called Scar a "delectably wicked" villain. [148] Referring to Scar murdering Mufasa, The New York Times questioned "whether this film really warranted a G rating. This ending was cut for being far too dark for young viewers. [122] Similarly, BuzzFeed also ranked Scar first in the website's "Definitive Ranking Of The Top 20 Disney Villains" list, with author Javi Moreno accusing the character of removing "the innocence of an entire generation. The actor reportedly "blew out his voice" upon belting the line "you won't get a sniff without me," rendering him incapable of completing the musical number. "[132] Richard Crouse of Metro cited Scar's "Long live the King" as the character's "Most evil line. [118] Entertainment Weekly included the character in the article "10 Over-the-top Animated Movie Villains", explaining, "you could only expect over-the-top when you pair such a grasping, conniving character with Jeremy Irons' seductive voice. Sora's group saves Timon and Pumbaa from Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, while Scar and Simba fight. "[101] Radio Times' Tom Hutchinson wrote, "Jeremy Irons [is] a vocal standout as the evil uncle Scar. He appears again when Simba is chasing him, who is pursued by the hyenas, who later battle Timon and Pumbaa. [24] According to The Jerusalem Post, Scar's song "Be Prepared" "features goose-stepping hyenas in a formation reminiscent of a Nuremberg rally. "[147] Film critics and parents alike expressed concern that Scar's violent ways would frighten and disturb younger viewers. He is long and lanky to the point of being thin and weak, with a scar across his left eye, which was given to him by a cape buffalo in Boma's herd. [56] Meanwhile, Minkoff and Allers had already had Deja in mind for animating Scar long before the animator approached the directors about the position.
The Huffington Post ranked Scar first in its "Definitive Ranking Of 25 Classic Disney Villains" countdown. [80] Scar, voiced by James Horan, appears as a non-player character in Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure (2003)[82]and Kingdom Hearts II as a villain who ultimately transforms into a Heartless as a result of the character's own "hatred and jealousy. thing." However, the plan fails and Scar, then named Taka, comes away with his namesake as a 'mark of shame'. Then with a mighty shove, Scar flings Mufasa off the cliffside back into the stampede, where he is trampled to death. [16], Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly described Scar as "a figure of both pity and evil, and of treacherous comedy" with "Irons ... filling this devious coward with elegantly witty self-loathing. Scar’s army begins sacking various locations in the Pride Lands, causing great unrest, until the Lion Guard trains the residents of the Pride Lands into a militia capable of fending off the Outlanders. But when the other lions in the Guard refused to help overthrow Mufasa, Scar used the Roar to destroy them. [99] The Philadelphia Daily News' Bill Wedo described Irons's voice as "silken,"[100] while Graham Young of the Birmingham Mail hailed the actor's performance as "magnificent. Boma charges out of the water at Mufasa. [59] As the film's villain, Scar is the only lion drawn with claws. As the character's supervising animator, Deja based Scar's appearance on that of original voice actor Jeremy Irons, as well as the actor's Academy Award-winning performance as Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune (1990). Loosely based on King Claudius, the main antagonist of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Scar's villainy was additionally inspired by Adolf Hitler.
He's possessed with this disease of his own ego and his own want. But once he overcomes this problem, the "ghost" is revealed to be the interaction of Simba's lack of confidence and Scar's spirit.
