    Fun Fact: Jeremy Irons's voice had given out after he shouted "You won't get a sniff without me!", and as such, he was unable to finish singing the song. So, with him out, Disney got Jim Cunnings to finish the final segment of "Be Prepared" while Jeremy Irons was out of it. Jim Cunnings delivered such a stellar performance and absolutely nailed Jeremy's Scar voice so well it was near impossible to tell the difference back then. We all thought it was just Jeremy Irons delivering a stellar performance as Scar, but no, it turns out Jim Cunnings knew how to nail Scar's voice as well. Unbelieveable.

    Jeremy Irons is the ONLY Scar. EVER. He nailed the voice, specially that deep voice which fits scar as a villain without trying hard to make the voice sound evil. It's just so natural, like if Scar was real this was the exact voice you'd hear. Also, the sudden growls in this song which also doesn't seem like Irons was trying hard, but rather it seems to natural... like he's really feeling the character.

    The beauty of this song is that when you really think about it, since both Simba and Scar want to be king, Scar's number "Be Prepared" can be his interpretation/response of Simba's "I just can't wait to be King" but it focuses on his beliefs of what a king is and how they clash with Simba's, especially since this song is right after "I just can't wait to be king".
    While Simba's song is what a child would interpret what it means to be king, focusing more on the idealistic utopian side of monarchy, Scar's song is how a dictator would interpret what it means to be king, focusing the more brutal and dystopian side of monarchy.

    • @LionlordEbonfire

      @TumblinWeeds Год назад +33

      Listening again as an adult, for the first time I realize that Simba doesn’t realize at all that he will be king only after dad is dead. And he’s pretty obnoxious about it too, “I’m brushing up on looking down” “everybody look left” “everybody look right” etc. The reality of monarchy is completely lost on a child. So “I can’t wait to be King” is almost exactly the same in intension as “Be Prepared”, and yet the mood completely contradicts.

      Simba is at that point in childhood where he knows hes a child, and is irked at always taking orders from adults. He has an idealistic vision of adulthood and the kinghood that comes with it in his case, where he thinks he just always gets his own way and everyone will do what he says; which all the animals act out as he sings it (except Zazu, of course).
      Scar is similar in that hes tired of playing second or even third or lower fiddle to his brother the king. He wants to be in charge for the power and glory he thinks it will get him. He already has all the resources he needs under Mufasa, just none of the fame and worship. Its not the frustration of immature childhood. Its the long festering indignity of living in his brother's shadow. Hence he wants to "respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am."
      They both really want the same thing; to be the center of attention and be in charge. The difference is the motivations. Its childhood immaturity and impatience vs egotism, narcicism, jealousy, and plain old sibling rivalry. Also the obvious difference where Simba would normally simply have to wait to grow up to succeed the throne, Scar plots and carries out fratricide.

    When Jeremy Irons said "YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!" Is where his voice gave out, saying that made his throat give in from the strain, so Jim Cummings was brought in for the rest of the song until the two final Be prepared moments, the laughter was Jim Cummings though.
    I do wish Jeremy finished the rest of the song but Jim did a very good job in his place.

    Scar's manipulation of the hyenas highlights a fascinating truth about leadership and human dynamics. While brute force and coercion might offer temporary control, true influence stems from understanding one's followers' strengths and limitations.
    Instead of attempting the near-impossible task of reshaping the hyenas' nature, Scar capitalized on their existing traits.
    This pragmatism, however cruel, proved far more effective than attempting the monumental task of teaching them strategic thinking or delayed gratification.
    This observation is surprisingly relatable. How often do we find ourselves frustrated by the seemingly immovable mindsets of others? We push for change, hoping to mold them into our ideal image, only to encounter resentment and resistance.
    Scar's success, albeit morally bankrupt, lies in his acceptance of the hyenas for who they were and leveraging their inherent qualities to his advantage.
    Perhaps the takeaway isn't to emulate Scar's ruthlessness, but to learn from his cunning. Understanding those around us, their individual strengths and weaknesses, allows us to lead not by force, but by aligning our vision with their capabilities.
    This doesn't necessitate compromising our values, but rather tailoring our approach to maximize synergy and minimize friction. Ultimately, it's not about changing people, but about leveraging their existing strengths to achieve a shared goal.
    By learning from Scar's manipulation, we can become more effective leaders, capable of inspiring and motivating others not by trying to change them, but by embracing their uniqueness and guiding them towards a purpose they can readily understand and contribute to.

      Actually your wrong. There is very little comparison with Thor and Loki to Scar and Mufasa besides them being brothers and one is good and other isn't.
      This story is an altered and diluted version of the Story of Osiris and his brother Set, and Osiris's son, Horus. Osiris would be mufasa, Set would be Scar, and Horus, obviously would be Simba. For instance, the Murder of Osiris correlates with the murder of Mufasa and the battle between Nephew and Uncle -- Scar/Set vs Simba/Horus.

      It's just too peppy and upbeat for me to ever consider it a villain song. The instruments and feel of the song is too pop-esque. Why does it sound happy? What're you trying to convey with making it sound joyful? He doesn't even sound all that pissed when he sings, just mildly annoyed.
      Disney: "Oh DuDe, iT's GeTtIn' SeRiOuS nOw ThAt He'S mAd." Like, no, man. He doesn't sound evil, he sounds like he just got scammed out of 10 bucks.
